FINAL COMMENTS

I would like to thanks all those who have been building the Swedish Civilization based on peace (which is a big culture here in Sweden, and not found every where). The free education which I get in Gävle is one of the fruits of this civilization. the courses I take here in Gävle for free with all the facilities I have had a free and unlimited access to it coste about at least 100000(one hudred thaousend)in some other palces (I would like not give coutries names), for alimited access to experimental facilities. I hope from my heart that those living in Sweden (Swedish or Immigrants)who have been lucky to be here and not elsewhere will valuate the golden chance they have , and most importantly make evrey effort to keep and ameliore the values given by this civilization. It can be not clear for Swedish people to knew what they have because they found thiers selfs automatically in a nice situation.
