Stockholm City and Hotels
2008-06-07 05:56:00 Stockholm is the largest city and serves as the capital of Sweden. It is located on the east coast of Sweden, where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea.

Stockholm is where the heart is
2008-06-04 12:16:00 There are no ugly people in Sweden. Nobody is overweight and no-one is badly dressed. Swedes seem to exude an understated grace and style with an effortless and genteel humility not present in cities that are equally modish. Rome immediately springs to mind, which somehow manages to offset its intrinsic panache with a self-congratulatory air. In the formal side of the city, the men all look as if they have been dressed by Ralph Lauren with narrow cut suits and perfectly folded pocket squares. Clean cuts and jutting jaw lines make way for quirky plastic sunglasses and leggings in Södermalm, the beating Boho heart of the city just south of the old town. I imagine it is what the inside of Agyness Deyn?s head looks like, it really is that cool. In between, there is a beautiful clean city with an abnormally low crime rate, few homeless (official figures estimate that there are about two but I managed to count at least six) and a bracing freshness from the clean sea on which the Stockholm...

Kiss And Condi's "Stockholm Syndrome"
2008-06-02 19:23:00 Via the AP here, it turns out that Our Gal Condi Rice has become the newest recruit of the ?Kiss Army,? having met bandleader Gene Simmons at the hotel in Sweden where Rice was attending an international conference on Iraq?"It was really fun to meet Kiss and Gene Simmons," she told reporters, noting they seemed well informed about current events. The band had asked if she could stop by after she finished dinner with the Swedish foreign minister and Rice readily agreed, she said.Simmons and his crew, who are on a European tour, weren't wearing their trademark stage makeup, but were recognizable as rock stars to even non-fans by their hair, according to State Department officials who were with Rice.I?m sure it wasn?t hard for Condi to spot a middle-aged, paunchy white guy with a poofy ?70s ?fro, was it?Putting aside the fact that the music of Kiss is utterly mundane as far as your humble narrator is concerned (I?ll give them credit for about 4-5 songs that were actually good, but tha...

Once he arrives in Stockholm, taking advantage of Sweden?s high duty, he profits by selling 19 bottles in the black market at double the price. Now the remaining bottle comes into the play. He starts drinking while circling around the police station. Police promptly arrest him. First Charge: Drunken Driving; Second Charge: Illegal Entry in Sweden. He gets a punishment of two-month imprisonment that is equipped with heater/air conditioner, Laundry, Newspaper and even paid daily wages. Once his sentence is over, with the Govt money, he is safely back in Poland. The smart earned Swedish moola makes him enjoy Poland at leisure for another six month. Afterwards another business trip would begin to Sweden.If one were to ask me ?what?s so special about Stockholm?? I would struggle for an answer. There is nothing spectacular about this city. Normally any big city in the world has an event, p...

Is There a Stockholm Syndrome?
2008-05-18 14:00:00 On August 23, 1973, an escaped felon named Jan Erik Olsson walked into the Kreditbanken in central Stockholm and attempted to rob it at gunpoint. When Stockholm police arrived on the scene, Olsson opened fire and injured one policeman before taking four bank employees hostage. He demanded that his fellow convict, Clark Olafsson, be brought to the bank along with a sizable ransom in exchange for his hostages' lives. The police went along with Olsson's demands and arranged for Olafsson to be brought to the bank and a communication link to be established with the police negotiators. Over the course of the next five days, Olsson and Olafsson continued to hold the hostages and threatened to kill them if their demands went unmet. Finding the police negotiators to be too unreasonable, the hostage-takers even telephoned then-Prime Minister, Olaf Palme, and attempted to make their demands to him directly. After Palme refused their demands, he received a second call from hostage, Kristi...
