This is really interesting, particularly how you make Sweden sound. I love the idea of anyone having the right to roam anywhere. I'm living abroad at the moment in the Philippines and have both some of the easier things you experienced such as language (the Philippines markets itself as the third largest English speaking country in the world) as well as some things being entirely different, ranging from the good (the friendliness of people - to the extent that I've really noticed it when going to other countries that people say hello much less), the bad (private healthcare - which I really don't like even though I'm in the very fortunate position of my employer paying for anything the NHS would cover) to the simply very different, such as living in a country where having domestic help is still commonplace.

Like you, friends and family back home are the hardest things to leave and I wouldn't live here permanently, but it does make me curious to try other countries.
