    Funny that you are enjoying yourself in Sweden, tip for you if you want to feel more of the spring, it always comes to Skåne first. I have my oldest daughter and granddaughter living there, so you know spring and summer will get there faster. Skåne probably only has 3 seasons: autumn, spring and summer because they don't get any real winter. Christmas and New Year they can have between +10 and +12 degrees. I wish you and your family a nice spring and hope everyone is doing well.

      @@LivingSwedish It's spring in Visby, google webcam Visby and you can see immediately what it looks like there. In My city Kiruna, we are now in Spring Winter (kingdom of 8 seasons), so we still have snow and a few plus degrees. Closer to Easter and during Easter, many people go out with their scooters, scoop up seats for reindeer skins to put on the seat and in the middle of the scooped up you make a fire to grill and make coffee. Sometimes you sunbathe and up here you get tan faster than southern Sweden at this time, when even the snow reflects the sun on your face. Must wear sunglasses if you don't want to go snow blind.

    However, it would be unfair to forget the impact of the economic crisis on Sweden's way of life, the crime rate and the schools getting worse and worse. We are losing something great, little by little.
    Hope the government and people step up! The country, cities and nature are great. Let's not lose either.

    YUP! YOU GOT ME! I just thought that Sweden HAS changed quite a lot in the last few years and become more expensive!
    BUT later when I heard that you have children, I changed my mind to: NAH! I QUITE Strongly believe that Scandinavia is probably the best place in the world to be a parent AND CHILDREN have it better here than in most other countries/regions!
    I'm glad to hear that you have been happy here and I believe that your children will be happy and safe here!
    BUT my advice is! If you and your partner have family and relatives in Germany and Elsewhere - TRAVEL - TRY to make your children multilingual!
    IT IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT Advantage to have in life? It gives you so much possibilities in life!
    Enjoy and live well!
