An Insight into the Nature of the Swedish People
Review of Sweden 911 @ http://sweden911.wordpress.com
I came across this site, and although it is does not directly relate to the story I am telling - the one about how badlyy one can be treated when Sick in Sweden - there is some relevance.
The bit I am missing, as I tell about the corruption in SLSO, and how people suffer in the hands of Swedish care givers, is the one about Swedishness. Much of what has happened to me can only be explained with some insight into the nature of the Swedes. What kind of people they are, how they have been raised, what they believe in. What they get off on.
The site, Sweden 911, offers a brilliant insight into the true nature of the Swedes. And the brilliance of it is exactly that it is not trying to analyze or explain. It is a collection of short stories about various people's encounters with various Swedes. The kind that make one think back at them and say 'That was so Swedish!' The kind we, foreigners in Sweden, talk among ourselves over a beer.
For us, who have the 1st hand experience, these stories ring more true than anything else we have ever read about Sweden. Pick any little story and you get the sense of what it is like to go out in Stockholm and interact with the locals.
The Title of the Blog is sarcastic, and refers to how we - foreigners in Sweden - talk amongst ourselves when we talk about these things. If you really want to know how it feels to live in Sweden, you shouldn't let the title, The Swedish Bitch Chronicles - Scare you.
