My great grandfather John F. Lindquist was born in Arvika, Sweden around 1869, and moved to the United States in the late 1800's. Looking for resources to help get in touch with relatives that still live in Sweden. I have a few names, but don't have many resources to find out how to contact them. Any ideas or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Please email at mnvettes@comcast.net

I am visiting Karlstad in Sept and wondered where are the best bars and what I should expect to pay for a beer?

My daughter is thinking of doing a student exchange to Karlstad, she is 19, American, and somewhat shy.

I was curious after reading a very negative review of Karlstad as a city (they said it was very boring, rural, nothing to do, full of old people) what someone else thought of the city for an exchange student.

Is the university residences for international students convenient to campus? (walkable or?)

Do you think other students there make exchange students feel welcome?

I would really like your candid comments as I want this to be a good experience for her....

thanks for any and all comments..

HI!
One of my friends, a young Malaysian who moved to Karlstad recently is keen on taking her husband away on a reasonbly cheap and romantic holiday not too far away. I don't think they have a car. Maybe somewhere near the Lake Vannern, small cottages for rent or a boat trip. Any suggestions?
