Ice Hockey unbelievable goal

I know Ice Hockey is pretty big as a sport in Sweden. So how is this goal – from a 9 year old?

 

the worst time of the year

To a foreigner living here the astounding sight of an Elg walking up the driveway to get apples from the apple trees, or simply standing watching as we drive past, is still – after 20 years in Scandinavia – a wonderfully inspiring sight.

100+ years ago it was more than inspiring – it was surviving! There was much hunger in this area of Sweden and many, many emigrated. It is hard for me to understand how they could leave such a wonderful place.

On Monday next, however, I start to get the urge to leave when this idyllic nature wonderland becomes reminiscent of the Somme battlefield.

The Elg Hunting season 'officially' starts.

It is strange to me how they kill off one of the biggest tourist attractions in the area. Of course it is defended with such words as 'we have to control the elg population', or, 'it's tradition', or…well, I'm sure you can think up some of the other excuses.

I am a foreigner. I have no right to interfere with the lives of others who are 'native to this land'

Shame we can't say exactly those words when discussing elg hunting! I do believe the elg were here before any of us!
