    City Vs City San Franchisco (USA) Vs Stockholm (Sweden)
    I'm torn between these two places on where to live and raise a family, I haven't visited either yet because it wouldn't be the same if I went now compared to if I went later on when I become a multi-millionaire.

    Stockholm: Voted the Greenest Country in Europe. Cloths and Shoes and other luxuries cost more than San Franchisco. Swedes are friendly as well as being sexually liberated. It is not uncommon for them to have more than one partner ebcause they are naughty. People are mistaken thinking they are easy, Stockholmers tend to be extremely educated. Seasonal Weather, when it snows people go skiing etc. Plenty of natural scenery. To be accepeted you have to do things the Swedish way. Don't really know the neighbourhoods in Stockholm but I think Ostermalm has 'rich-town vibe'. I would like to know 'best laidback rich town' is in Stockholm.


    San Franchisco: Laidback 'rich-town vibel'. They are accepting of all kinds of people and you don't have to 'fit-in'. Nice beaches along the Bay. Renting is higher than Stockholm. Buying properties is about the same compared with Stockholm. Neighbourhoods in San Franchisco

    You keep spelling San Francisco wrong...

    Still, no contest. San Francisco all the way. As Mark Twain once said, the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.

    Have you ever been to Europe? Could be a surprisingly new experience, in a positive way.

    Your comments about swedish people are the best: Yes, it´s true, the women living there are totally worth all the efforts! ;-)


    Why Stockholm? Job offer?

    I've been around the Internet and well the places listed as standard of living always mentions Stockholm and how friendly the girls are there, San Francisco is mentioned too.. they are mentioned as rich countries too... but Australia is not mentioned..

    Is Queensland diverse??

    Strange almost every other forum I've posted this on said Stockholm would be their number 1 choice.

    Stockholm by far, it's a beautiful city, easy as hell to get around, loads to do and the stockholm archipelago and countryside is easily accessible by boat

    I was just in San Francisco. It's a busy city that's surprisingly rather small. I love it because they have Bloomingdales and my town doesn't.
