Yes the women are absolutely stunning, and I say this as a heterosexual male comfortable in my sexuality, the guys were good looking too! A very attractive race indeed.
One thing I couldn't believe was how good everyone's English was and some even apologised for not speaking it well enough.
Very true. They're a good-looking breed.
Several times as my colleague and I were trying to navigate our way round the various 'gatans' of Stockholm, a local approached us and in near-perfect English asked if we needed help. I think I only met 2 or 3 people in all my time there who didn't speak English well.
I even loved the offices over there - many of them have adjustable raising desks so you can stretch your legs and work standing up if you so desire, and every office I visited had a fresh delivery of fruit each morning - we would be offered fruit at every meeting. The environment was just...better. Cleaner and with less unnecessary fuss or formality. Often very minimalist.
Whenever I apologised for not knowing Swedish, they would laugh and just say "well, you don't need to, the world doesn't speak Swedish!" I forgave my ignorance as at the time I had a conversational level of Spanish.
