SWEDEN : FIRST IMPRESSIONS

I have to tell you something about Sweden : MAKE A GREAT VISUAL IMPACT! (And Camilla, yes, the nordic light is really beautiful!!) I do not know a lot about the social conventions in Southsweden, but the wide open spaces, the colours and this amazing light, I would live here with immediate effect. To understand this feeling a little bit better... by comparison Sweden and Switzerland, Sweden is 10 times bigger than Switzerland, but the number of the habitants are in both countries the same....
