Ask CosmoLady anything, she has lived on 6 continents!

How do you have Sweden's citizenship (I just read your 1 post here)?

Sorry if that has been mentioned already here.

Do you like Wagners music

[CosmoLady]

Do you know anything about martial arts or self-defense + weapons handling?

Yes I do, but I know the least about martial arts.

We learned some judo from our stepfather, judo is perfect for a small person defeating a much larger person.
But we mostly forgot it.

My stepfather was Swedish. His family was entirely Swedish. They have since all passed away.

He was born in Sweden in 1946, completed his military service,
and then moved to South Africa in 1966 I think, and lived there until the 1990s.
He then served in the South African Army and Air Force, and then in private business.
His parents also expanded their business to South Africa and bought a home in the late 1960s.

He married a younger white South African woman in 1991 who produced a son for him, my stepbrother,
but she died unexpectedly in 1996 I think.

He then remarried a much younger white South African woman, my adopted mother, in 1997. So he became my stepfather.
We left South Africa in late 1997.

We went to Canada first, his parents were already Canadian citizens by then, and he had Canadian permanent residency.
He later became a Canadian citizen and so did we.

I think we first lived in Sweden in 1998.

My stepbrother wanted to complete his national service in Sweden,
but this was 2009 and conscription was ending, or he was not called.

Do you like Wagners music

Yes I love Wagner, he is one of my favourites, along with Weber.

I love classical music

So did you get citizenship via your Swedish stepdad or via your time in Sweden (being here long enough)? Where did you live?

Here is a famous Swedish officer (NOT my stepfather, but he was similar) in the Congo in the 1960s,
relaxing with a cigarette after being shot twice.
Those were the times

Imo Wagner is the forefather of modern film music

Yes I received Swedish citizenship as a child, from my stepfather.

We lived in Hollviken near Malmo. His family was wealthy from Skane.

There was also land in Varmdo, in the archipelago near Stockholm. We have since built a house there.

So these are the 2 places we visit in Sweden, mostly Hollviken.

All of my Swedish friends are from Malmo and Trelleborg.

And they are all SD voters, or they left Sweden
