Hello!
I just chatted with Jenny in the chat room and her request should not be considered spam. She is looking for serious answers to these questions - something has she not gotten on other travel sites. If you do not wish to post your replies here, you can send them to her via PM or (via PM) request her personal e-mail address.
Hey Jenn,
Ahh Swedes...

Born/Raised: Toronto, Canada - Live: Zermatt, Switzerland
1. Sweden: Scandinavia, Vikings, Hockey and Skiing, Neutral, Stolkholm, vast landscape similar to Canadian North. People: Educated, civil, almost all speak perfect english and most that live in Zermatt also perfect German, culturally aware, Althletic..outdoors types, highly computer literate. They very much like to sing national songs together at parties (especially one where they make some kinda antler gesture with their hands on their heads..wierd) drink alot, good looking.
2. Blond and blue eyes, Thor, the cook from the Muppets. Borje Salming...
3. Beautiful blond girls that eat delicious meat balls. Quietly going about their business up over there.
4. Got to know alot about the people and the country. We have a solid year round population of Swedes in our town here. Was impressed with how good their language skills were. The country seems like a paradise, just a little too far north, temperature, etc. Some of the best skiers on the mountain. I wouldnt suggest my opinion was changed as much as built after meeting people. You guys got to get the word out about how great you have it up there...or on second thought do NOT and keep the secret to yourselves.
5. Repectful, the people here act as if they were at home.
6. I dunno, not really..I dunno about this one.
Hädu, Hädu and good luck Jenny from the Stock

Not that I really care, but why should her desire for serious answers mean that this post is not spam? The guy in Uganda who sends me spam emails is very genuine in his desire for my cash
