you do? Woohoo! Hello Neighbour!

more than welcome! Although prepare for some cold weather :)

Northern part of Sweden :)

bridesmaidSSSS... Gready much?

well thank you! Would love to go to Ireland (again) someday soon.. not to pillage and plunder, but drink beer and sing along to live bands!

Oh so very true

hells yes...

Sorry..

wow.. 7% in tax.. here I pay 33%, and that's minimum as I'm a student and only work part-time.. you guys do not want to know what my parents pay in taxes..

Women had a very central place in viking culture, and had the right to inherit land and divorce if they wanted to..

Yeah.. we stayed closer to home for that stuff

Some people are just sick.. Apparently some would also pay to be intimate with an Orangutan..

I think that enforcing a tighter gun control is a way of fixing the symptom and not the main problem at hand. Surely those who really want to commit such vile crimes will find another way of doing so, either by getting guns in an illegal way or (as said before) by killing in other ways, for example by arson attacks, stabbing sprees (both which in the last couple of years occurred in Australia), or by making bombs. Then I can agree with you Kamatsu (as guns are not easily obtained in Sweden either) that the guns might be a problem too.. but perhaps not the main problem ... but what do I know..

Still.. that you have to have an assembly about it. Good considering the circumstances.. its just scary that its necessary.. I think the only thing we have ever had an assembly about in school was in case of fire.. and what to do if your bus crashes when you're out on a field trip.

you actually have classes where they go through the possible scenario of this happening and what to do if it does?! Its so sad that you have to...

"Very yummy" "American flavour". Not proud of Sweden at the moment. However, I have lived here for 24 years and I've never seen this product before!

With the years I think it depends on in what country you go to highschool, in Sweden all who are in the same class are born the same year, unless a person has skipped or been held back, but they usually know about it ;) So it would be very few that are in a different Chinese year than the rest of the class. In England on the other hand I think it depends on when you are born (month), so if you are born before september you start school that year, after september you wait until next year.

*doing the same thing right next to you, glancing over the book just enough to see the road*

that is how I read it first, very confused.. like "whats the question really?"
