"As good as a Swede"

“I am from the other side of the world and I am here in Stockholm to study for one year. People stay in their home countries forever and they are happy with that. I am not. I want to explore the world, I want to see new cultures, I want to experience something new and exotic. Someday I will explore Africa, my mum says it is a beautiful continent. My answer is always that Sweden is beautiful too. The nature is incredible and all the people are amazing. I have only been here for 6 month and I am already in love with the people. Swedes are good; you help others, you are kind to everyone and gentle in general. My friend says that I am "as good as a Swede" and I believe him. I am always myself - It is only one of me, so why try to be someone else?”
