Live In Stockholm 1975 [Digipak] - Gentle Giant

'Stockholm in a pint glass'

Advantages: 'Pre-parties', 'Norrlands Guld' and superb transport links.
Disadvantages: High alcohol prices, weak beer and strict bouncers.

, whereby anyone can fish in the city centre without a licence. Over 1.3 million people live in Stockholm, which experiences winter temperatures of around -2°C and +18°C in summer. First Impressions? I flew with Ryanair to the airport known as 'Stockholm Skavsta'. Now you might think this airport is actually in Stockholm, or only a short distance away. However, it took an 80-minute coach journey from the airport to Stockholm's central bus station, so if you plan to fly with Ryanair, just bear this in mind. Having said this, the return coach fare was only 200 Kronor for the 110 mile round trip, offering fantastic value for money at just under £15. After finally making it to Stockholm itself, I was greeted by my friend who explained I then had to fork out another 190 Kronor for a three-day travel pass. However, as I later found out ...

Review of Stockholm in general

Living in Stockholm

Advantages: People, Scenery, Cleanliness, Safety, Public Transport
Disadvantages: Nightlife, Cost

I lived in Stockholm for about 18 months. I'd say possibly the best 18 months of my life. I was a little worried about moving abroad as a 21 year oid. Not only having to take care of myself for the first time but having to survive all that in a foreign country. I was pleasently surprised at how friendly everyone was, and the support they gave me. People love to practice their English with you, at first it's great everywhere you go people will speak in English for you, but as i was living there i wanted to learn the language, which got hard when everyone speaks english too you. The place was extremely clean. It's so nice to walk around a city, exp3ecially a capital and not see rubbish everywhere. Being from England this is especially true. Living in stockholm you get the best of both worlds. You have the vibrant city ...

Review of Stockholm (Sweden)

Blood sucking in Stockholm

Advantages: Beautifully filmed, intriguing
Disadvantages: Some will find it too slow

Oskar is a twelve year old boy who is bullied at school and generally over-looked by everyone who knows him. Then he meets a young girl of his own age who has apparently moved in next door. Her name is Eli and she lives on blood. The man she lives with, Hakan, provides her with the blood by killing locals, but there is a hunt on for the murderer and Eli could well be at risk. Her friendship with Oskar develops and she helps him to stand up for himself, injuring his main bully quite seriously. Then Hakan is no longer able to help Eli. Can Oskar continue where Hakan left off? And will Oskar's bully try to get his revenge? Oskar is played by Kare Hedebrant, who is really quite superb in the role, simply because he comes across as being a complete innocent. The fact that he has pale yellow, almost white, hair and very white, milky skin ...
