Andreas mentioned his bike getting stolen, and he lives in Örebro... Maybe someone mistook him for a 50-year-old as well. Hell, he maybe even got laid.

If they're anything like the Swedish girls I've seen, I need to buy a plane ticket and a bike.

I promise to pick you up in person if you buy a plane ticket. Smile

Don't do it, it's a trap.

Still got that little Peugeot?

Seriously if I had the cash on hand I'd take you up on that offer. A friend of mine is the resident adviser (basically the person they pay to watch college dorms over the summer) for a private college. They had some Swedish exchange students stay for a few weeks. Most of them female. Hott females. As in they shamed the beaches of Cali with their presence. Anyways, the first day she had to explain to them that it wasn't okay to tan with their tops off on the roof. Shocked Apparently you can do that in Sweden.

I was SO PISSED she didn't call me. SO PISSED.

Still the Peugeot, it is to be swapped soon though. Working on my macho image. Wink

For this:


About Swedish girls... Don't think they tan topless at home, where there are Swedish guys around, you can't excite the home crowd, so to speak. Razz

I honestly have no idea what that is. Kinda looks like a Tiberon, but I know it's not.

Andreas seems to be working hard, no reply from him yet.

Here neither, they're all right-hand drive imports. I don't care, I'll get one anyways.

I'm working a bit too much yea. The bicycle incident was in another part of town, nowhere near where I live Sad

As Mean Machine said, not many girls tan topless here, but it's not frowned upon.

...so as a foreigner I'm exempt from the whole "don't flaunt it for the natives" thing right?

Dammit tickets are expensive. And for a guy my sized I'd basically need some sedatives to survive that long of a flight.

Hell, any jobs over there?

I got laid off at the start of June. Working for an American bank, I saw it coming though.

I'd like to move somewhere, but it'd have to be roomy. The population density (according to our 2006 census) was only 17.3 ppl/sq km here in Nova Scotia. I figured Sweden would be close and it is... ~21. In the states, I'd have to go to Maine or Vermont to have anything similar. And WTF is in Vermont? Nothing. Fun fact, Toronto sucks... 881 ppl/km. Retarded.

One day, I will at least visit Sweden though. I promise.
