Oh Sweden...

In lieu of our recent trip to The American Swedish Institute and to the high number of blond, blue eyed, easily sun-burned mayamacstudio.com readers of Swedish decent (you know who you are). I thought this article would be of interest.

The country of Sweden has set up an Embassy in Second Life which is the modern day high tech equivalent of dungeons and dragons. It is a virtual world for geeks who have no real life and now apparently an outpost for Swedish culture... In other words, this is not a proud moment in Swedish history.

You may have forgotten that Sweden has long, dark, cold winters with not much to do except ski, curl and sit in the sauna. A fantasy world beats eating herring while whittling ice sculptures.

I bet the Swedes are easy to identify in Second Life, they are the one standing around not talking to one another :-)
