Picture Perfect

I did a test on Facebook called Picture Personality, which had me pick pictures that I thought symbolised different states of mind (freedom, love, success, etc.) or my dream house or dream car. I don't think the analysis was that accurate but I will share it with you nevertheless.

Temperament - Energetic
Your energy is boundless - you are racing ahead to some goal, dream or opportunity that lies before you. And you always make sure that you are two steps ahead of the pack. You move so fast through life that you sometimes forget to take time to smell the "proverbial" rose. Channel your energy into what lies immediately ahead of you and your future will be full of even more exciting happenings.

- It's probably true that I'm a bit restless, always looking for the next thing (e.g. job) or thinking that the grass is greener. However, I do enjoy the moment and don't worry to much about that path to the future, even though I'm constantly planning.

Interests - Thrill Seeker
You are interested in anything that is exciting and pleasurable. You're not afraid to indulge yourself - you live by your own set of rules and don't allow yourself to get hung on what others think. For the most part, you are independent and do whatever you please to do. Trying to stop you from doing something only makes you want it even more. At the end of the day - you live for life's most thrilling moments.

- I am pretty independent and don't get hung on what about other people say or think (at least if I know in my heart that I'm right). But I wouldn't say living for life's most thrilling moments is an accurate description of me.

Amusement - Adventurous
It's a good thing that you are filled with energy and ambitions (that others sometimes find exhausting) because you're continually looking for a new adventure and exciting experience. You struggle with a continual feeling of restlessness which constantly pushes you to the next level of excitement. Once you have accomplished one thing, you are eager to accomplish something more exciting, riskier and distinguishable.

- Ready to accomplish something new, yes, but not necessarily taking risk.

Passion - Physical
You are a cuddle bug - from a warm hug shared with your best friend to steamy sex with your partner, you enjoy every bit of human contact that you can get. You demonstrate your love for others most fluidly through physical one-on-one contact and you feel the most loved when you are being touched. You feel disconnected when you are physically isolated from others. You're a people person and a lover of all things human.

- I'm definitely a social, people-person but I actually touch others (like patting a friend on the back) quite sparingly. I have a friend who's like that though and I've always thought I should be more touching (in the non-harassment way).

Sweden: Safe Destination for Tourists

Sweden advances in tourism ranking and places high in the international honesty index. Are the two linked?

The United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) says that global tourism grew by some 80% between 1995 and 2006, and that worldwide receipts from international tourism reached USD 735 billion last year. Population gains, greater prosperity and budget airlines are just three of the factors that lie behind the increase in growth. According to UNWTO, Sweden's receipts from tourism rose to USD 9.1 billion in 2006, up 23% on the previous year. Sweden now ranks 20th in the rankings, up 4 places from the previous barometer. Apparently Sweden has passed even a sunny and hot place such as Portugal.

The magazine Det bästa has tested people's good will by "losing" mobile phones in 32 cities around the world. According to the test, the world's most honest people live in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where 29 of 30 mobile phones were returned. But Ljubljana was followed closely by Toronto, Seoul, and Stockholm.

So maybe another reason why tourists come here is because the feel safe and don't have to worry about losing their belongings!
