Well
You came across as a stay at home because you were effectivly saying that no matter what, you could have a better time there. Done the whole hitch hiking around thing, albeit in Sweden and Norway. God that was boring. Really, really boring. Mind numbingly boring. Luckily it was just a part of the way while staying ar various people's houses.

I've never been to Glastonbury either. I've been limited to two festivals - the National Student Drama Festival, where I stay in a hotel and drugs are strictly forbidden for the tech crew (but it's still lots of fun), and Bloodstock Open Air. Which is not (that) muddy. Smoking drugs I've grown myself. Saw loads of bands I've never heard of. Saw music I already knew played in a different way - that'sthe great thing about live music. Sang along with it with several thousand people - that's an experiance that can't be described.

Don't write it off just because there are a couple of little things you don't like.

Maybe you should have picked somewhere a little more exciting than Scandinavia. You are talking about countries where newborn children's names must come from a list issued by the government. Hardly hotbeds of anarchistic excitement. Although Sweden does now have a Pirate MEP. I think I might even be able to forgive the boring blonde bastads for ABBA on the strength of that.

Me girlfriend is swedish
I've been going to france, spain, italy, switzerland and germany since I was six months old. To be frank, although I've not seen anywhere near all of the contries, I find them pretty boring now. Hence going up north instead.

Don't believe the stereotypes about scandinavia. There are certain streets in Malmö and Stockholm I won't walk down after dark. Speaking swedish with an english-skäne accent tend to get them to open up. They're a fun bunch to be around, and bloody scary when they're upset about something.

At least it stops dickheadish names like 'Chardonnay'
Might be a tad (well, a lot) Danish
