Stockholm: preexistence elegant middle city

Encounter a lot of Sweden, they would have asked: "why did you come to Sweden?" Nobel hometown? You can see the aurora? Free university education have? To local residents, these reasons are not enough. They have a strange modesty, more willing to talk about their own king ineloquent, often says the wrong thing in the speech. In this nearly Arctic distant realm, with much land and few people, the winter is long, 3 p.m. and dark, light snow, but snow overnight. The Swedish people don't think their country should be the hot spot in the world today.

Chinese always like to use the "Beijing" name the city, so Stockholm is also called, beijing. Unlike other "capital" is, not too many skyscrapers, city, Metro, the old city architectural style consistent, buildings are not put bright skin, but has been placed in the years to come,TravelingAnd the residents can enjoy. The Gamla Stan is located in the center of the island, dating back more than 700 years, in addition to the palace, churches, squares and other attractions, there are more restaurants, coffee shops and crafts shop, full of boiling boiling popularity. The old city west of the island,

Once the nobles and Knights of the palace, Church of the Riddarholmen is the Royal Cemetery burial, and the zoo on the island of Vasa Museum for collection of a submarine salvage from seventeenth Century. These scenic spots are jointly witnessed the most powerful century sweden. Sweden has not worked as the overlord of the world, but once the Nordic, even in England and France, this is a Swedish ancestry -- Viking create albert.

From ninth Century to twelfth Century, this group to be robust and strong, the savage "pioneer" of Sweden and other Nordic countries to help realize the rise. Their thirst for wealth and chase for future generations of Swedish laid the foundation, may also leave the enlightenment. Across a long agricultural society, industrial society, a prosperous modern Swedish free, open, advocating the pluralistic, with 3 S is well known in the world: Socialism, Sex and Suicide (socialist, and Dutch act), become the middle social model.

"Socialist" refers to the high tax and high welfare social system. In Sweden, according to income level will levy personal income tax tax rate of 30%-55%, after Denmark, ranked second in the world. Electricity, oil, books, food and wine and value-added tax, tax revenue accounted for nearly half of the GDP, and more than half of GDP expenditure for public service, civil servants, practitioners of workers and service can benefit, so the gap between the rich and the poor in Sweden is not big, bright middle and covered with paint repair workers often sit around on the bus.

The young man's dream is not the reality of oppression, but also not easy to enrich one's family. Swedish girl Anna said excitedly: "what people don't work but also can bring a lot of money, this is not fair. I just hope to get rich." Her friends are shrugged: "mean nothing." Political Qingming will often bring sexual liberation, problem of homosexuality is no longer fashionable, even here, has admitted that "the third sex". When filling in a form, if people are not willing to gender in this column fill in "male" or "female", can fill in the other.

And the high rate of Dutch act is the quality of life of the country come out in front of the other side, in the field of life ethics, she also ahead of other countries, to relax the bottom line. Economic freedom of the people the freedom to die, no secular pressure people played the gender, this kind of ambiguous but face reality appears and the Scandinavia Peninsula, as if out of a cup of wine and modern, placed in front of the world. All had solid boundary is broken, even the national boundary, also seems to be here to blur.

Sweden has the world's most friendly immigration policy: since the Second World War, but in a neutralGermanyUnder the actual control of Sweden has begun a large-scale accept refugees -- at the time mainly from Nazi-occupied countries Jews escape, and now most of the refugees from Iraq, Iran and other countries in dispute. By the end of last year, Sweden has 14.3% of the population is in the foreign born. Leif is a famous Swedish University Professor, his first wife inThe United States of AmericaUnderstanding of the UniversityThe Republic of KoreaStudents, after the divorce he took the children to live in Stockholm, have a stable partner (FranceOf people), but did not remarry, but also often runs toward china.

He opened a door of cross-cultural communication course for science students in class 8 people, half are Chinese students, 3 students in Sweden, one is by parents fromTaiwanFoster, a French moved in, only one is native Swedes, the remaining one from Iran. He likes in the class will lead the discussion about the "identity", but the students are not very warm, perhaps too lazy to think, they always said: "I do not feel there is confusion in identity, I had a good one." Lei Fu was a little disappointed, but somewhat satisfied, he said: "I always thought that the nation is a false proposition." The innocent inference in Sweden actually somewhat traces to follow.
