Swedish people can really be "non-Swedish", we have no trouble to say good bye to our traditions and old values.
Reason: We have so many new things we cannot keep the old, our fear is to bother the new things and people with other tradition.
It feels sad in many ways, there is a difference in accepting and keeping.
We all know Sweden is a mixed country with many different people and cultures. We respect each other and live together and try to make people to fit in! (it all sounds good right!?)
But lately it feels like we throw out the Swedish traditions for... NOTHING!
It's sad to see people growing up in this country, and even come here and not realize that we have many things but not showing it.
In today's paper they said that the old tradition when celebrating High School Graduation in Stockholm City, driving around in trucks/cars will be forbidden!
It was THE thing I looked most forward too before graduating! And it's noisy but everybody wants it!! It's as Swedish as it can be...
It's sad to see this to vanish as well, what will be next? Do we even have something else to throw away, or hasn't most been thrown away already?
