Stockholm, Sweden

Welcome to Sweden, where we're gonna be living now for the next few years!

The currency of Sweden is the Swedish Krona (Sek) and 1Euro = 8,5SEK.
The total population of the country is around  9,5 Millions people for the 3rd largest country in the European Union.
Sweden is a Monarchy with the King Carl XVI Gustaf on the throne... even if he is useless!
Since the Great Depression ("la crise de 29"), Swedish national politics has largely been dominated by the Social Democratic Workers' Party, which has held a plurality in parliament since 1917. During the period from 1932-2006 the Social Democrats presided over the government for 65 years, almost exclusively without a minor partner.

Stockholm is the capital and the largest city of Sweden and constitutes the most populated urban area in Scandinavia.
Stockholm is known for its beauty, its buildings and architecture, its abundant clean and open water, and its many parks. It is sometimes referred to as Venice of the North.






A Taste of Stockholm is an early summer festival that each year attracts hundreds of thousands of people with a shared interest in food and drink. During the first week of June the downtown park Kungsträdgården, or ”King’s Garden”, is transformed into a party with culinary sensations and performances by many well known artists. As you'll see below, you can taste bull balls tacos, a lot of weird animals meat and cooking from all over the world... the idea is kind of good, the food... not that much!













The non-violence sculpture are created by the Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd and are exposed in other several places of Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö, and in the rest of the world.







Enjoying few beers with Erik, Kikki and Kiwi :)








Before going to work, we had some free time and decided to go to the culture house of Stockholm where there is this free exposition: "Street Smart" these last few days.
Really cool ideas and a lot of movie projects, I definitely recommend it if you are around and have the time to get in there... but again... we always have the time, but will you decide to take it?
