Final comments
travel trips Stockholm, Copenhagen, Adventure trip by bike at Evedal, Helsinborg and Elsingor, Oland natural preistoric park, Gotland, Kalmar castle. Advices If you are not an open minded person, easy going and really active it will be difficult to integrate with the other internationnal and much more difficult with Swedish because you have always to start to speak and to be friendly with them. Compared to my country they are much more reserved, but in my experience if you start to speack with them by time they will become really friendly and supportive. It just take more time and you need been patient.
