It was weird. I never really thought much about going to Sweden. Nothing against it, it just didn't dawn on me. Met some Swedes traveling around Australia and seemed like a place to check out. The people sure were friendly enough and that seemed like a fair reason to go. So, I found myself heading for a destination I knew very little about, and all I could keep thinking about was the lyrics to Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song," which I nicked for my title. What I found was something else . . .
