The Swedes are a fascinating culture.  Their sense of humor is dry, similar to the Brits, with a touch of slapstick as you can see.  Ika’s Uncle Gay, dressed in full regalia,  (the guy on the left in glasses) has made his living as an entertainer on a cruise ship from Sweden to Finland for many years.  He and Aunt Anita (beautiful lady  below) have raised 5 children in a 3 bedroom condo in the Stockholm area.  Most Swedes live in condos or apartments, as the need for huge houses seems frivolous to them. They didn’t have to worry about how to educate their children because all Swedish citizens can receive a free college education, all the way through a PhD if they wish.  All medical treatment is free also.  I envy their carefree existence in that respect.  Yes, their taxes are quite high, so it is a tradeoff.  They just seem so relaxed about it all.  Maybe we could learn something from their culture?  It’s always good to learn new things from our neighbors around the world.  Keep an open mind, you may find that there is a better way!
