The LIF fans are famous as a really enthusiastic bunch who focus on the positive. I really liked the many songs they sang along with throughout the match

at Ål-kilen, near Leksand. A bit of interesting trivia from the Swedish wiki page for this village: "Ål-Kilen is also familiar with the Witch Process in Ål, Sweden's last witch process, and where all the accused women came from Ål-Kilen."
Kent & Manu's stugor

When they said they had a cabin, I was expecting a wooden hut. Instead it was this beautiful house, which they built at Ål-kilen, near Leksand

What kangaroos are for Australia, the moose are for Sweden: national symbol, tasty game meat, and a major traffic danger. In some areas there are moose fences along the road. On the road from Västerås to Leksand

Big Dalarna Horse

The Dalarna Horse is a symbol of this area and for Sweden in general. (IKEA uses it a lot.) This is the home town of the horse. Apparently the English name for it is "Dalecarlian horse" which is just so much harder to say than the Swedish. On the road from Västerås to Leksand

Manuela and Kent used to live here. They were the only ones to live here all year, and it was pretty rural. Now it is popular with the well heeled who commute to Stockholm. It was unrecognisable from my last visit here about 15 years ago
