Sweden.se

January 1, 2008

Flirting with the internet establishment with an article on Sweden.se. This is the website for the Swedish Institute and aims to give a ‘positive and progressive’ view of Sweden. christmas_tree_sweden.jpgMy article on Christmas trees did just that… it was slightly sanitised with a good line about penis size perception affecting how big a tree is chosen, being cut…. and the text being americanised, so that lines like “he loves rubbish” became “he loves trash” not quite the same nuance, but still….. My favourite thing about the article is the comments at the end.These include:i´ve been there this last august and everybody where very nice to me. even when i got lost travelling in train. (from Silvana, Argentina)remembering Karin, a swedish girl a knew long time ago and is still in my best memories ( from Orlando, USA)   Merry Xmas and all that!
