I usually stay away from commenting about politics on my blog. Although I have my opinions in life, I am not usually a person to air them.

Last year, after being in Sweden for a year, I wrote a post about things I had learnt living in Sweden. Now I am going to share with you some rules for living in Sweden. I hope it can give you a little more insight into life here, and the rules for living in Sweden are not so bad most …

We …
