It was a busy day, pfff. Today I read that the inactivity-index is low in the Netherlands compared to other similar countries working together in the OECD. So everybody was busy today.... strange, my film should be developped by now.

In dutch (from NOS teletekst):

" Inactiviteit in Nederland ligt laag

***************************************
PARIJS Nederland is een van de rijke
landen met de laagste inactiviteit.Dat
blijkt uit cijfers van de OESO,waarin
dertig ontwikkelde landen samenwerken.

Van de Nederlandse beroepsbevolking
werkt 73,6%.Nederland moet alleen de
Scandinavische landen en Zwitserland
voor zich laten.In de VS werkt 71,2%,
in Duitsland 64,6% en in België 59,3%.

De OESO prijst het arbeidsmarktbeleid
van Denemarken,waar vorig jaar 75,1%
van de beroepsbevolking werk had.Dit
land kent een redelijke,niet te zware
ontslagbescherming,in combinatie met
een actief beleid om mensen (weer) toe
te rusten voor de arbeidsmarkt"

Tomorrow I can get the scanned photo's. Maybe I publish some if they are good enough.

Stockholm

Stockholm, June 15th 2004 

I found myself a hostel where I could leave my backpack to go into the city of Stockholm. Just to find my way.

Holiday 2004: to Kiruna and back.

8 Houres ago I was in Sweden but now I'm back from a trip to the Artic circle. An inspiring roundabout through the heartland of Sweden. Meeting interesting (international) travellers and feel nature towards and above the 661/2th parallel.
Photo´s will be placed on the site.
After a night (June 24th) in Vilhelmina on the quiet Saiva-camping on the border of one of the lakes out there, I had breakfast with Wolfgang Andreas. Read his site
