I'm in California and my son just married his Canadian sweetheart who he also met playing a game online. Americans usually have a tough time learning other languages when we're older because we aren't raised learning them, not like in Europe. I have a great friend in Uppsala, and I would do what you're doing is we could do it together. It's too isolated if you're alone.

It’s great how the internet can connect people in ways that were not possible in the past 😊 I agree, if english is your first language you’re fine speaking it in most parts of the world. With me being Dutch, and especially loving to travel, I had to get fluent in English in order to communicate. There’s only a handful of people that speak dutch compared to the world population 😅. And I would definitely say; the more languages you know, the easier it is to learn a new one

That was a very nice and informative video. Now summer is around the corner, and it's time to enjoy the wonderful summer nights. If you have a boat I really can recomend the archipelago. It is beyond beautiful!

Sweden is and was a cold country. We hade lower inner roof and shorter doors in very old homes because not we was shorter which we wasn't much but it's about the heat, heat goes up and if you have high inner roof the heat escapes high above the heads, lower inner roof more near the living.

Hi Kalle! Have lived in multiple countries helps 😅 if you don’t use a language often it fades away. I actually was at a congress this week in germany and I had not spoken any german since we left switzerland 9 months ago. I was worried that I had forgotten and it certainly got rusty, but it went better again after a couple of days. Repetition is key :)

I have a very dark roller curtain that is very opaque (sp?) it blinds the sun during summer and when I need to sleep daytime. The snow got to hard for me to shovel a couple of years ago so I bought a snowthrower. There is one thing I don't like about this place, that is the mosquitos, but that's all.

I won't let an EU law stop me from having a lil bonfire on valborg. It's not like the low number of cops that police one of Norrlands gigantic police districts has time to enforce this law, they are too busy policing the underage drinking that goes on during Valborg. And if i was really unlucky and cops for some reason saw my bonfire they would just tell me to extinguish the fire and inform about the law as an warning. Perhaps they would charge me if their warning was ignored though.
