Open preschools, where kids can play better and parents socialize with each other
(Just don't think that "socialize" with fellow moms OR fellow DADS has to mean "talking to each other".)
So, there are open preschools. (Here are addresses in the city of Stockholm.) And: they have info in english about it.

Mazily, the online dating site that market itself with "single and arty-farty? Come join", combines the swedish trademarks of stylish design and digital laidback anti-paranoia
Swedish Mazily is definitely the Facebook of online dating.
The registration stage is brief because your current Facebook profile picture, first name and interests are already there, in your profile page, the same second you register, you find out.
If you have a mutual friend - on Facebook - with the person of the Mazily profile you are visiting, it will be shown.
Of course (!) you write, like and comment status updates. Casual dating. From the start.
Too futuristic for Silicon Valley's (Facebook's) homeland, the land of digital paranoia, I'm pretty sure. Mark Zuckerberg would love to have a profile at Mazily Sthlm. Now they're just using his "app" technique ("allow Mazily to collect information from your Facebook profile, yes or no"). For people who spend time in Sweden.

It's spring, and Stockholm's hockey world is turned upside down
Djurgården, historically Sweden's most successful team, is in deep shit. Finished at 11th place. That means they will have to play games to renew their right to play in the top league next season. If using north-american standards: that's like if Detroit would have to defend their NHL slot by facing four AHL teams.
AIK, usually the Stockholm baby brother (and on the verge of collapsing financially only two years ago, when they played in the second-highest league), now enter the top-league playoffs, with a (small) chance of becoming swedish champions.
The hockey page has the Stockholm home game schedule.

In Sweden now? Heard an alarm signal coming from somewhere up the air, outdoors? At exactly 3pm this afternoon?
It was the emergency population warning. Well, a test of the sound. At 15.00 the first non-holiday monday every month.

The man with The Record Store - next weekend on stage in Ericsson Globe
The last 15 years, Micke Englund has had a record store at Långholmsgatan 20 in Hornstull. Open 36...5 days a year. Usually until 23 in the night. Micke's record is being there for 540 days in a row.
Buy, trade and sell. Records in boxes, records on the wall, records attached to the ceiling.
As a social "temple" for heavy record collectors, the store has been associated with High Fidelity.
In 2008, he got the opportunity to play a little with the band of Thorsten Flinck, and was excited about a gig at a neighbouring rough joint down that same street.
Tonight, the band qualified for the last swedish final of the Eurovision Song Contest. The sight of Micke getting flashed by the photographers, together with the other winners, while the tv cameras captured the glitzy end of the show, had a dreamy touch to it.

The "cultural", subsidized billboards, powered by the politicians
There's a difference between ads and ads in the street. Here is an example of a theatre that don't pay for themselves (if you are a heavy TS nerd, and wants to check up on this kind of stuff, look for "kulturtavlorna.se" on the upper side of the frame):
At Strandvägen.

Swedish teenagers don't grow up very fast, except when it comes to sex, alcohol and material possessions*
See other groups of swedes and where you can find them in Stockholm's inner-city
(* As usual, in secular rich countries. Norway is, in this field too, like us but more.)
Confident and spoiled.
What does the swedish school do (which is a complete different universe comparing to the strict and top-ranked finnish school)? Give in, usually. Anything to be anti-conservative. See it as "important to listen" to the youth.
It says something that the 1980's phenomenon Okej, before society started to frown upon nudity for feminist (not puritan) reasons, was able to sell soft porn posters straight to teenagers without many complaints. Samantha Fox thought it was weird to see her breasts in the magazine.
We could put it like this: swedish teenagers seem to be alright. They don't run away from home. It's pretty unheard of here. (Unlike in the USA, where the Greyhound bus company actually have campaigns and policies addressing the issue.)
