  • I am so lucky! In this episode I meet the owner of the Stora Sjöfallet Mountain Center (www.storasjofallet.com) while riding in the National park there. He invites me to stay in the lodge and even arranges a helicopter flight for me over the National Park. What an incredible place!!

    I would like to say that, You'd met very talented gentlemen's today, one has offered you stay and food and the other one showed you beautiful places via helicopter ride. I hope the owner should get more guest after seeing this episode. This is one of the amazing episodes this season.

    Noraly writes "I am so lucky!" No, Ms. Noraly, what you receive is merely a return of the grace that you routinely exhibit. So happy that you could have this experience. I hope you weren't concerned at the age of the helicopter. In aviation there is an expression: Aircraft are like the farmer's ax. "Best ax I ever owned" the farmer said, "only had to replace four heads and three handles". Breathtaking. Brought tears to my eyes with this one. Wish I could give it a hundred big thumbs up!

      I love your analogy about the farmer’s axe. It is the same with motorcycles. At least here in Australia. One could say: I loved that bike, I had to replace an engine and the frame but.... I once went to register a Honda 750, exactly the same as a bike I had previously owned (had wrecked it for some of the needed parts) I had bought a complete running new bike that just needed TLC and the Government just said, sure, new frame and engine on your old bike... even though it had a new VIN number... or are we just strange here I wonder... With helicopters isn’t the maintainable schedule so rigid and expensive that an aircraft that has been maintained correctly is still worth near to its’ new value and an unmaintained one fairly worthless?

He then introduces you to " Phil Fabulous " who flies helicopters and takes you on a spectacular tour. But wait.. you then return to the lodge for another feast with your two admirers. You may as well return home now because I can't see how you will top this day. But wait...let's find out what's around the next bend anyway. Nice video.

    I started crying during the helicopter ride, not only because of the beauty, but also with some strange feeling of proudness. As a swede, these feelings often are suppressed since one is taught at an early age to not be too boastful and modesty is a bliss. Thank you for showing the world my home country, and showing that if you are nice and tolerant and open minded, it reciprocates; something which i think needs to be reiterated in these times with many dark and hostile leaders influencing people. Stay safe lovely you.

    The Stora Sjöfallet is named after a hough waterfall that was once as big as the US Niagara Fall. But many years ago they build a gigantic tunnel system and used the water for a powerplant that still produces much electricity. Now you can only walk on the walls of that fall and try to imagine the thunder and the mass of water once are roaring down in the valley.

    • @Tramseskumbanan

      Foreign languages are seen important in all Nordic countries.
      There is also another factor contributing people's English skills: Nordic countries are such small language areas, that it is not worth the cost and trouble to dub foreign movies or TV programs into Swedish, Finnish or Norwegian. So, we use subtitles, and people hear English every day, which makes learning the language much easier.

    • @Nekotaku_TV

As Americans, we're not presented with multiple languages in our daily lives as they are in Europe. So it's much more common for people there to speak a few different languages.

    Noraly, you are such a lucky woman. I lived in Sweden many, many years ago. I was mainly in Göteborg(Gothenburg), all in all, six years. Gothenburg was founded primarily as a Dutch trading colony, the Dutch being on the same side as King Gustavus in the 30 years war, and had German and Scottish influence. Dutch planners and engineers made a contract to construct the city as they had the skills needed to drain and build in the marshy areas chosen for the town. The town was designed like Dutch cities such as Amsterdam, Batavia (Jakarta), and New Amsterdam (Manhattan). The planning of Gothenburg's streets and canals closely resembled that of Jakarta, which was built by the Dutch around the same time.
