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!

The World Is a Sick, Sick Place
I read in Financial Times the other day that the World Food Programme, the UN's organ to fight starvation in the world, has difficulty to balance its budget. One reason is that the price of grains is increasing, as a result of increased demand for bio-fuels in the developed world. Crops that earlier have gone to starving people in countries such as Chad and Etiophia now go to changeover the western world's transport to environmentally friendly.
I.e. the West is now going to burn what others want to eat.
The changeover from oil dependance to other fuels is of course important, but are we going to do it at the expense of efforts to alleviate starvation? There must be some way to reconcile the work to reduce poverty and starvation and the work for a better environment!

Listed
Entertained myself with these questions at work today.
1. What did you think when you saw yourself in the mirror for the first time this morning?
I look tired. Why do I never go to bed at a decent hour on Sundays.
2. How much cash do you have on you?
200-300 kr which is rare because most of the time I carry hardly any cash
3. What word rhymes with "test"?
Quest
4. Favourite planet?
Tellus
5. Who is no 4 on your missed call list on your mobile?
Some number I don't recognise and they didn't leave a message...
6. What is your favourite ring tune on your mobile?
I just use one of the complimentary. Not too bothered about changing ring tunes.
7. What are you wearing on your upper body right now?

No, and not on other people either
9. What is the brand of the shoes you are wearing right now?
Oscaria or similar (the tag has been somewhat worn out)
10. A light or a dark room?
Design-wise I like light rooms, both light coming through the windows and light base colours but with elements of colour through pillows, curtains, paintings, etc. I don't like the completely white design style! I can also sleep pretty well when it is light if I make myself used to it.
11. What did you do at midnight?
Slept, but I went to sleep just half an hour or so before midnight
12. What does it say in your last received text message?
"Okay, I'll be in touch"
13. Where is the Seven Eleven nearest to you?
Artellerigatan at the corner of Valhallavägen
14. Which expression do you use most?
I use "like" and "I mean" way too much
15. To whom did you say "I love you" most recently?
Peter. But one of my favourite little girls, Ester (friend's daughter) said to her mum "I love Anna" the other day! So sweet!
16. Which furry thing did you touch most recently?
A cat at Peter's parents old summer house on Saturday
17. How many different kinds of drugs have you used in the last three days?
White and red wine and some Bacardi Apple

None
19. What age has been the best so far?

At work, the required background (cannot choose), at home some Stockholm archipelago picture
22. What was the last thing you said to someone?
Talked about some remote place in the archipelago with a colleague
23. One million dollars or the ability to fly?
The money. Then I could donate to worthwhile causes, pay off my student debts, travel to all the places I haven't been to yet, and buy my dream house.
24. Do you like someone special a little bit extra right now?
Besides Peter, a British MP who sent me a very nice letter as a thank you for organising such a good study visit for them in Stockholm.
25. The last song you listened to?
Don't know the name of the song but something on one of Peter's 2,000 LPs!

Making Up For Old Sins
Since I have been neglecting my blog lately, due a new-found love, eh...addiction, to Facebook, I feel like I have to post twice in the same day.
Today's Friday Four - Theme: Current Opinions
What do you believe/think/feel about...
1) ... Paris Hilton getting out of jail?
I don't care too much except that I'm glad she had to go to jail like a non-celebrity would have had to do, had s/he been guilty of drink driving (wihout a license!). It felt rather short though but hopefully she learned a lesson and will never do it again.
2) ...Spice Girls temporarily getting back together for a reunion tour?
Great! Probably the tickets will be impossible to get and/or obscenely expensive, but it would be fun to witness it. I once saw them in concert back in...1999 I think, just a little bit before they split up. Didn't really plan it but a friend of mine called me 3 days before the concert and asked if I would go instead of another friend. We pulled up the average age in the arena by far but it was fun!
3) ...the release of iPhone in the USA?
Fun for those who want it but I don't care. Don't think I will get one this year. I would never queue for days for anything.
4) ...that it seemed to have rained so far this summer?
Well, lately it has but before that it was pretty nice. Even 30'C for a while. I don't complain too much about the weather - hot or cold, dry or wet - what's the point? You just get annoyed and stressed in vain.

High Up In the Sky
Luckily we had our adventure already a week before Upp & Ner really lived up to its slogan "go on the adventure of your lifetime"! (For those of you who don't understand the Swedish in the article, the balloons were caught in sudden bad weather) Our trip went really smoothly, we hardly had any wind even and made it 2 km in 1 hour! But it was fun anyway, everything from having to put the balloon together to the view from 400 metres up in the sky!

When Is It Going to Be Summer?!*
Theme: Summer feelings
* The weather has been very autumn-like lately
1) Do you feel bad if staying inside on a sunny day?
Definitely! I have to take a walk, at least. It's okay if I'm at work but on the weekend I get very anxious.
2) When does summer begin and end according to you?
Summer starts around this time. I can't really go after when I take summer vacation because that's towards August. I like to take vacation towards the end of the summer because there are so many holidays in the spring anyway, like a Friday or Monday off here and there. In autumn there are none so taking vacation in August is perfect. Usually the weather in Sweden is pretty good in August while it can be rather chilly still in May-June. In September it starts being late summer and October is definitely autumn.
3) What things are a must for you for it to be a "real" summer?
Long days with sunlight until midnight, swimming, skirts and summer shoes, lots of grilled food, cutting the grass
4) Did you ever not long for summer?
Not that I can remember, perhaps when I had to leave a boyfriend behind and have a long-distance relationship for a while.

Competitive Sweden
The IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook 2007 was published last week. IMD ranks Sweden no 9 out of 55 countries, a pretty good grade in my opinion! The comparison is based on 323 competitiveness criteria. The US comes in first like last year and in the EU Luxembourg scores highest (no 4 overall). In the Nordic region Denmark beats Sweden by four places and Norway can be found at no 13, followed by Germany (16), the UK (20) and France (28).

Name Game
Name theme that I "stole" from Skolfröken:
1. What does your name mean?
The name Anna is biblical and comes from the Hebrew Hannah. It means mercy or the endowed. In several languages the name is used as slang for mother. Virgin Mary's mother was the holy Anna.
2. How old is it?
Old. It originates from before biblical times and has been one of the most common names in the Nordic countries since the Middle Ages.
3. How many share your name?
Loads. It is the most common name in Sweden at the moment. For women that is. There are 310,000 women and 5 men called Anna. It's one of those names which may not be the top name given to newborns every year but it keeps being in the top hundred throughout generations.
4. Why did you get this name?
The working name was Vilda Matilda (because I kicked so much) but luckily my parents came to their senses. Nothing wrong with Matilda but I think I'm much more an Anna. There have been Annas in the family (obviously, considering the history of the name mentioned above) and I suppose they just thought it was pretty too.
5. What do you think about your name?
Have never really reflected on it too much. I remember thinking when I was little that I was happy with a simple, common but beautiful name, especially since I had a very rare surname. But I want to give my future children more unusual (or less common) names.
6. Do you have a nickname?
Not really. I guess Anna Panna as a child and variants of my surname but nothing that has stuck. My British (Armenina) friend Anoushka calls me Ans.
7. What do you want to be called if you could choose?
I'm pretty happy with Anna. When I was little I probably wanted to be called all the different names I gave my dolls and Barbies.

Five Books
I hardly read these days (just look under the heading "Reading" to the right, which hasn't changed for ages...) but I want to get back into the habit and I used to read a lot a few years ago...so I guess I can continue the list of five weird books that Malin has created (reached me via Skolfröken).
So the theme is "weird" or "wacko" books. Name five books that you thought were the most curious, different, stranger or crazy in terms of content or language or both. They do not have to bad but made you raise your eyebrow or smile in pure astonishment.
1. A heartbreaking Work of a Staggering Genious by Dave Eggers - One of the best books I have ever read! Don't miss reading the small print on the title page or even before that in the book, and look out for a picture of a stapler! It's also a biographical account which makes it all the more interesting. His second book about two friends travelling to Senegal is not as good but probably stranger.
2. Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer - Just saw the film last week and it was good but not as good as the book, of course. The Ukrainian guide's (ab)use of the English language is priceless! I haven't read his second book Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close but it's sitting on the shelf waiting to be read.
3. The Narnia series by C. S. Lewis - Didn't really like them. I guess I'm not much for fantasy in general and I just thought animals with human heads and other weird creatures were scary.
4. Rabbit is Rich by John Updike - I think Updike can write the longest sentences; often more than a page long. The things Rabbit does or thinks are pretty strange too.
5. The Black Book by Orhan Pamuk - Pamuk starts telling a story but digresses so many times so the next part of the story comes a couple of chapters later. But I guess that's why he is a Nobel prize winner.
