Gustav Holmström
is @Sweden

Hi! I’m Gustav Holmström, an 18-year-old boy from Örebro. This week you’re in for a treat. One week ago I graduated from gymnasiet (upper secondary school, studied social science) and this week is my first as a full time employee at a media agency where I will be sitting in front of a computer all day getting square eyes.

Actually, you are in for TWO treats this week as we celebrate midsommar (midsummer, not Midsomer Murders) this Friday. Some people spend the day and evening dancing around a pole and singing very silly songs about frogs but since I am a teenager, Friday night I will probably spam the @Sweden account with very blurry pictures of me, my friends and beer.

But who am I as a person? I like to read but can only read one page per session, then it get boring. I believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I love public service and public transportation but not public toilets. I’m a half time vegetarian but am going to try to be 100% vegetarian this summer when I move away from home.

When I’m not tweeting here I tweet as @yogakillen.

So the first stage in the Stockholm public transport strike is now active. Feeling bad for my friend who works at the customer service dep

Holy smoking crap I just realized that 66k people follow this account. That’s me talking to my hometown TIMES THREE.

So if it is sunrise where you are right now, have a listen to this. I heard a DJ play it in the sunrise when I was at a festival last year>>

@Sweden June 19, 2013 07:22

I’m not that super happy with groups as Swedish House Mafia and stuff but Avicii and Eric Prydz I’m almost proud of?

Is it only me who is tired of all “”"important”"” white men on the streets. It’s really fun to bump into a business man…

@Sweden June 18, 2013 12:57

So yesterday I forgot my *lunchbox* in the kitchen at work but when I came back this morning someone had washed it for me???? So friendly!

@Sweden June 18, 2013 12:19

Wow had such flow the latest couple of hours this am at work. Did things I didn’t think I was capable to etc etc

@Sweden June 18, 2013 08:49

Okay so this is embarrassing… Was the last one coming into the office this morning, and I’m the youngest here……..

@Sweden June 18, 2013 00:53

My friends having a typical swedish after party “@alvaslaskia: @sweden Jenny micrar köttbullar och kokar makaroner, känns jävligt svenskt”

@Sweden June 17, 2013 22:05

Got a mixer as a graduation gift from my boss! Now i can make soups!! “We are a little worried about your nutrition intake when u move now”

@Sweden June 17, 2013 17:33

and that white strange thing is part of OpenART, a temporary art gallery all over örebro every other summer! very cool thing actually

@Sweden June 17, 2013 17:31

but it’s nice to look at! my (former) school is on the other side of the castle, pretty nice to look at if u r in a boring class

@Sweden June 17, 2013 17:30

that is the örebro castle! famous for something important to sweden but none of my friends nor i seem to know why

@Sweden June 17, 2013 15:21

Okay is there something you want to know? Can’t promise to have answers to anything. Ask away! Will try to answer as much as I can later

@Sweden June 17, 2013 15:14

can’t concentrate on work right now bc the new sigur rós is so good. just sitting here chewing on a pen gazing into the screen

@Sweden June 17, 2013 14:33

So sad she is not doing that any longer. But you can listen to her old shows at iTunes! Search for “lantz i p1″ and well it’s in swedish…

@Sweden June 17, 2013 13:06

I think all the others just have been a bit… boring. I’m young! I’m living the life! I’M FREE! And have energy.

@Sweden June 17, 2013 12:47

Okay, i was just joking with you about swedish stereotypes. Ofc do we talk at lunch. Topic right now: who gets most drunk at the party 2nite

@Sweden June 17, 2013 12:42

Another typical swedish thing is not to talk to strangers and such, so at lunch at work right now its dead silent

@Sweden June 17, 2013 11:31

…and I moved to the sthlm area! BUT this week I’m back in Örebro for work, so I’ll tweet from here showing u cool stuff, friends & places.

@Sweden June 17, 2013 11:31

Last week I moved from my hometown Kumla and my almost-hometown Örebro where i studied and which is a town I had a love-hate relationship to

@Sweden June 17, 2013 08:28

3) This friday is a big big holiday here in Sweden! MIDSOMMAR! As I’m a teenager I will probably be drunk and post blurry pictures on here.

@Sweden June 17, 2013 08:27

2) I love to share good music, so each day this week I’m going to share one or more songs that has a Swedish connection (but NO abba)
