Pinstriped suit with a hardhat.

It's good they don't show foot-shots .... steel toed safety boots just don't have the elegance of high heels. Mind you, they (boots) prevent twisted ankles .. but that is a risk that ladies love to take, eh?

Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria participated today in the inauguration of the Clinical Research Center at Sweden's famous Karolinska Hospital, . Among the projects of the Center is the efforts to develop artificial blood and it currently leads the global race to artificial blood. The first successful tests have now been made on patients in Sweden. Seen here: Victoria arriving at the hospital.

They do celebrate it. Schools have Halloween parties for the students. However, kids don't go trick or treating. Some kids go "trick or treating" so to speak at Easter...it's very odd. My odd Svensk friend took me trick or treating at Easter once...I pretended to understand. Just smile..and nod.

 

[Yennie]

In Sweden do they celebrate Halloween?

Yes, we do. Its called All helgona (All saints) and its when we remember the dead and light candles and things like that.
But during the 90´s it became more common to celebrate in a more "american way", with costume parties and trick-or-threathing.

Im looking on the Swedish Embassy of Spain's website for Victoria's visit there on Nov. 14, and I can't seem to find a reference to her name. Am I blind ?

Here's the link:

El Grupo Inditex cuenta con siete cadenas de moda y acaba de abrir una nueva línea de negocio dedicada a la casa. La primera tienda de la cadena Zara en Suecia se abrió el pasado 5 de septiembre en la calle Hamngatan, una de las principales arterias comerciales del área central de Estocolmo. Inditex ya estaba presente en el mercado sueco desde 1994 con dos tiendas de la cadena Massimo Dutti.

Este grupo cuenta con más de 1.800 establecimientos en 48 países de Europa, América, Oriente Medio y Asia. En el ejercicio 2002, su cifra de negocio se elevó hasta 3.974 millones de euros y su beneficio neto se situó en 438 millones de euros. Al cierre del primer semestre de 2003, Inditex empleaba a 35.348 personas; 7.023 más que un año antes.

Hennes & Mauritz AB cuenta con 26 establecimientos en ocho ciudades españolas, el último recién inaugurado en Vitoria. Antes de que finalice el año tiene previsto abrir su sexta tienda en Madrid. Al cierre del pasado ejercicio, la facturación de este Grupo alcanzó los 53.332 millones de coronas suecas (5.891 millones de euros), con un beneficio de 8.629 millones de coronas suecas (950 millones de euros).

En la actualidad, vende ropa y cosmética en 901 tiendas repartidas por 18 países, en los que emplea 39.000 trabajadores. El grupo que fundara Erling Persson en 1947, en Västerås, Suecia, tiene previsto cerrar el presente año con 110 nuevas tiendas en todo el mundo.
