Stockholm, min kärlek

I didn't hope much before to come in this far away city. More I know Stockholm, more I love it. 

Quiet. Peace. Healthy. Life here is so pleasant, people seem so zen. It's typical for swedish people to have a calm way of life. It's Oh So Quiet. All you can have like prejudices about Sweden and green peace are true. And It's all at their honor. Yes most of swedish are vegeterian, yes they recycle very strictly their garbage, yes they spend their free time in nature. What's else ? Stockholm abounds of green areas and squares, and it's really nice to share time with friends in the grass, without superficial adds. That's life. Enjoy that nature give you and enjoy life, it means only.

People are concious about their chance. I met a lot of people, who had a very active life, who lived in crazy city like London or New York during many years. However, the end of the story of these people is they always come back in Sweden to live calmly. They are naturally attracted like a magnet by their maternal city. Stockholm calling.

Stockholm is the perfect compromise between blossoming tree and big buildings. On the one hand, you have green hills and great lands ; but everytime good organised, with a romantic statue, a fountain or some minimal bench. And on the other hand, you are in the city heart with fabulous concept stores, trendy papers shops or tasty vintage shops. Of course, contemporain art haven't forgotten. 

I lie when I told you that every predjudice is true. Because you think maybe that swedish are peasant or rustic people by the fact nature is omnipresent. I admit, I have thought it once time. Not at all ! Fashion is here a obsession. Who have told that fashion center were Paris, London, Milan and New York ? Here, fashion is more creative ! People does their own interpretation of rules dicted in Fashion Magazines, because easyly, they don't respect these rules. Here everyone create their own rules. Everyone is interessing, special and singular. That is so fun, it is people give (me) feelings to have chosen their clothes day randomly, in closing eyes and in boning up in their wardrobe. But the result seems perfect. I'm too naive of course. Swedish control maniacaly their own style. I'm sighing... I could spend all my time to look swdish youngers.

One of others value that I keen on in Stockholm, it's the importance place of children. From few years, Sweden lives a babyboom and babies are preoccupation center of everyone. Kindergarten parties, with a lot of humanity lyrics have song by children themselves, come before the work. Then there is this tradition which consist in offer candies on every saturday, lovely intutitled "Saturday's Candies". I really love it ! Here, kids are a God present and I think this kind of thinking is so wonderfull. It's decided, I will come back in Stockholm to make babies and rear them here.
