He was referring to the number of attractive women. I think he was pretty close to the mark, but you never know! I will be on the lookout for your request. Let me know... I can always use another Bajen shirt. A Swedish friend, after living for a year in Iowa, once said “One out of ten is about the best I have seen in Iowa”.

I will bring you a Bajen shirt, I will bring you two if you find me a hot Iowan Farmers daughter in her early thirties who wants to live in Sverige ;-) I will definitely take you up on that next year if I make it to Iowa.

Iowa and Arkansas can be good places to visit, if you are searching for very specific US cultural experiences. Before I saw my first bandy match, I was told that it would be a chance to experience Swedish culture. In our part of the state (near Iowa City) we have our own version of bandy - Hooverball. Not a very popular sport outside of eastern Iowa (or within for that matter). The corn fields are pretty quiet and the people are very relaxed. If you are looking for a guide, let me know.

I might be in Iowa next year. Early days yet but I love the USA and fancy doing a three to four week tour of the States that never get that many UK visitors. You know most people (including myself) do Vegas, NYC, LA. I wanna do Des Moines and Little Rock! Absolutely bloody runs thicker than water and all that.

Great sport and crowd at Zinken. My friend's kids also play there. SBBK vs. Hammarby on Jan 17... he is partial to Bajen, but he has to root for his boys and SBBK. I agree about bandy!
