This is an amazing place to live," says Western Harbour resident Anne Lisa Georgia James, 30, who was born and raised in Copenhagen. "The view changes every day because there are always new ships coming into the harbour.
The singular attractiveness of the water-front real estate is evident from the fact that [Malm]ö and Skåne were recently selected as one of the preliminary race venues of the 32nd America's Cup sailing competition. The arrival of a fleet of exclusive racing yachts and 12 teams from 10 different countries (August 24-September 4) is hailed as "the biggest thing to ever happen to Scandinavian sailing."

It was my dream for many years, to have an ensemble and tourand do alt kinds of things," [Sukula-Lindblom] said before the performance at West Bank Café. "I wanted to do vaudeville, musical theater, children's theater... so I founded VästEnsemblen. What we bring to New York is a small part from our second production, the play Swing Sisters. I first saw the play in Copenhagen in the 1990's and knew right away I wanted to do it. So, since we're Finnish-Swedes and speak Swedish, I had it translated from Danish into Swedish and we put it up in 2006. We've performed it for about 6,000 viewers now, and in November last year, we received a prize from the Swedish Culture Fund in Finland for it. Now, Swing Sisters is quite a big production, and we couldn't possibly bring the whole thing here to...

Svalbard consists of a group of islands in the Arctic Ocean, covering an area of roughly 23,000 square miles, of which 60% is covered with glaciers. It is the northernmost part of Norway, located midway between mainland Norway and the North Pole. Discovered by the Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz in 1596, the islands soon became a haven for whalers. In the early 190Os, mining became a major industry, and, more recently, several arctic research stations have been set up on the islands.
