In Sweden : Good food and general comments

Sweden in general (9 million) seems to have more population than Denmark.
Temperature outside : 11 degrees. Cooler than Denmark. Just fine. Need a jacket.
Hotels are good. Here it seems unlike big luxurious hotels in US, the hotels are cost conscious. The finishing is not the best I have seen. However they are actually good enough and seems to be more sensible. It is better to stay in a hotel down town than outside the city. We stayed first two days outside the main town, to reduce travel time for the official meetings. More points :

Taxis are easy to get.
Roads have more people.
Very nice roads.
Left hand drive.
Good cars.
Side roads are neat and clean.
Currency : Swedish Kroner. Here both Euros and Swedish Kronars are accepted. However when they give the change, you only get Swedish Kroners.
1 Euro approx. 10 Swedish Krona
Taxis accept Credit Cards.
There are specific lanes for cycles here too.
Near Shopping centers the roads have people on the streets :-)
Fantastic People. A lot of people in general have migrated from different countries. You will also see people who have a lot of mixed nationalities. We met a waitress whose parents had parents who were mixed : jewish + swedish, african american + white and her boy friend is actually, Italian, Serbian parents.
Europe has a lot of languages. Each country has a diff language of its own. Danish, Swedish, Serbian, French, German etc. They are diff and each other can't normally understand the other. However it is written like English i.e it uses Latin alphabet, also called the Roman alphabet.
THe food is in general bread, meat (beef, pork, chicken) and sea food.
Lots of historical buildings and many of the buildings have an ancient architectural look.
Lots of varieties of food present. We had food in a typical Swedish restaurant, Indian and then a Lebanon Restaurant. The Indian and Lebanon Restaurant were very good and enjoyable food. The other food was ok but we were getting a bit bored with the typical; European way of cooking food light.
Night life looks good. People are there on the streets even after 12 AM. We had a walk down the old town. Nice bridges and beautiful streets and old time architecture is seen in the buildings. Its not just concrete !

BTW hope you saw my previous blog on the football match.
