Stockholm, typical or not

Stockholm, June 6th, summer begins, Sweden celebrates its national day. Thousands and thousands of balloons, blue and yellow cover the sky. What is it to be a Swede? Immigrants sometimes have difficulies to identify a sharp picture of the typical Swede – if there is any. Sure, it's stupid to imagine national characters. Still it's nice and comfortable. I guess the human mind always is attracted by simple models for fast and easy understanding – by classifying we get orientation.

The thousands and thousands of balloons sweep around, individually in different directions, and toghether painting a new, still changing picture. Unpredictable, as every step you take?
