I want to take our dog with me on our holiday (from Norwich, England) to Sweden. I was planning to take him in the car on the ferry, but they have now closed down the only ferry route between England and Sweden. We've looked into taking him on the plane, but it is a can of worms. We can't figure out how to do it, who will take him and how the charges work. Anyone out there who's taken their dog to Sweden?
Answer:Remember that you can take the animal out of any recognised UK port but bringing them in under the Pets Passport Scheme is must come back into an authorised port that is cleared for Pets Passport. As another poster said why not go via another routing. Taking an animal by is actually very simple once you have worked out how to navigate the regulations. The other downside of moving animals by air can be very very expensive even more than your own air fare. A previous poster touched on what happens when a dog is in the aircraft hold. In theory the dog will sleep as the hold lights have been turned off but, this not always the case.
I am researching for an essay but have come across many points in history that signal a democracy looming. What was the defining moment? When and how did Sweden transition a democracy?
Answer:Sweden is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary form of government.....Parliamentary democracy....... Maybe it will be a full democracy some day.... but not now. A:~) @ Leprechaun Insults are the arguments employed by those who are in the wrong. "Anarchist you 1d1ot.. Sweden is a full democracy. It's the most democratic country in the world." Sweden maybe " most democratic country in the world" but it's not a FULL DEMOCRACY........ Democracy by definition means the government by people. That means that all the people should be able to have their say in one way another in everything that affects their lives. Dictionaries usually say that this right can either be exercised directly (by every member of a community having the possibility to enter personally, without mediators, his position on a particular issue into the decision making process - modern technology is able to provide this possibility for increasingly larger and larger communities), or through representatives (members of legislative bodies). This second arrangement is then called REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY. Representative democracy would be fine if the representatives would really make all their decisions only after consulting their constituencies. In the least, after having a clear idea about the views of their constituents on a particular issue, and trying to accommodate these views as best as possible (or postpone the decisions until an overwhelming majority of the constituents would be happy with them). Unfortunately, a vast majority of countries that call themselves Representative Democracies are not true democracies according to the above definition. Most of them are actually just Elected Dictatorships. People can vote usually only once every four or five years. They do not vote on any issues. They just elect their so called representatives who then until the next elections have no obligations by law and little incentives to base their decisions on individual issues on the wishes on their electorate. They hardly ever bother to consult them on their stands on various issues. Therefore, legislative bodies composed of such "representatives" act in a very dictatorial manner between the elections. Edit: @ Leprechaun That is exactly what I am saying. Some Representative democracies are better then others, but there is not one country in the world that has a TOTAL DEMOCRACY. The articles you are referring to measured which countries are the MOST DEMOCRATIC in the word..... But they can't be called full democracy, until you and every citizen of your country can decide and vote on every issue, that effect everyone in it. Until then Sweden is a REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY, and so is the rest of the democracies in the world. It's a wonderful thing that your bureaucrats are not as corrupt as the bureaucrats in the rest of the world, but it doesn't make them less of a bureaucrats. You say: "Are you an American republican or Chinese by any chance? Do you watch fox news quite often?" NO I am not an American or Chinese. I am from former Soviet Union, and live in USA. I watch CNN, MSNBC, FOX, BBC and many other news channels. I also read newspapers from Russia, Germany, England & France..... WHAT IS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH DEMOCRACY? OR THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET YOUR POINT ACROSS IS TO INSULT SOME ONE. GROW UP.
My company wants me to be in Sweden for several years to look after the matters in its branch office in Stockholm. I suppose to live with my family ie: my wife , two kids and probably my mother. The company will pay the house rent. Can anyone tell me what will be my approximate living expences for a month in Sweden.
Answer:You will find the cost of living in Sweden in following link: http://www.sweden.se/templates/cs/CommonPage____4967.aspx The following official website provides you with many good information as what you need to know about Sweden: http://www.sweden.se/ However this is for living as a student, it gives a good clue as to estimate how the life expenses look like. The major part of your life expenses is the rent while you say it is being paid by your company. My approximation as the rent you were supposed to pay for a single family house based on your family size would be at least around 8,000 Swedish Krona (1,200 USD) The public transport in Sweden is very convenient and modern comparing to US and many other countries in Europe and due to the high price of gas, most people usually use the public transportation. My wife and I were living in a normal quality of life (Not as many other students who try to minimize their living expenses) with something arround 12,000 to 16,000 Swedish Krona per month (1,750 to 2,350 USD/month) including our rent as 3,500 Swedish Krona/Month (640 USD/Month). However normally as a "single student", you could live in high living standard with something well below 8,000 SEK/Month (1,200 USD/Month). I understand that living as a student can't be compared with living of your family in Sweden. Finally, in my opinion, since you don't have a monthly rent to pay, based on my experience and based on your family size I estimate something at least around 20,000 to 25,000 SEK/Month (3,000 to 3,600 USD/Month) as your family montly expenses there.
