There really aren't any particular things to see in Stockholm.. Gamla Stan ("Old Town") is beautiful. It's a part of Stockholm left almost exactly as it looked in the 17th/18th century, including narrow, rocky streets and classic architecture. The royal palace, although not the most beautiful palace ever, is worth a look for sheer cultural history. The Vasa museum is also worth a look. It contains the genuine wreckage of the Vasa (Wasa in English, named after Gustav Vasa), a beautiful ship with a rather tragic history. |

If, while on vacation in Stockholm, I wanted to indulge in some of the city's nightlife(and including the single women ) where would you recommend I go?

The recent, heavily criticized implementation of an anti-terrorist law allowing the interception of all internet traffic of suspected individuals. It is currently described by Google as the most aggressive surveillance law of Europe. I'm going to vote for the Social Democrats in the next election, as their leader, Mona Sahlin, has made it a goal to rip that law to shreds. |

There are plenty of channels showing horror and sci-fi, but rarely (if ever) any kaiju films. I know TV4 once made a loooooooooong Godzilla marathon, though. |

There are plenty of regular musical festivals. One particular festival, Arvikafestivalen, is extremely popular, and several people from around Europe come to listen to music, get horribly drunk and lose all their stuff to people less drunk than them. I rarely go to festivals of any form. |

Not really. Due to the vast amount of history we have, few European countries would see positively at uniting with any other country. |

Thread drift: I agree with you. One of the things I learned as a history major in college was just how "young" the United States is compared to European countries, whose official(and recorded) histories go back for centuries. It's also why I found European and Russian history so much more interesting to study than American history. Topic: what is the ancestry of Swedish people? Were the first Swedes a migrant group from another geographic area? |

They came from the south, so I think the Scandinavians are related to the folks who populated central Europe (Germany, for example). |
