Nice your. Of course we think Sweden is soft and fluffy but it's really all a sham! The zeal with which they tried to hurt mail or kill 'defective' citizens put the Nazis to shame. The guide was a typical older Swedish lady! You will know what I mean.

Väldigt intressant och trots att jag är Uppsalabo fick jag lära mig massa nytt på denna stadsvandring med lite udda tema!
