Hi,
After having neglected my Swedish and Danish for much too long
already, I'm finally thinking of giving up my subscription to this
English news magazine and replacing it by a Swedish one. Problem
is you don't see (m)any magazines from over th�re in the
newsstands down h�re, so it's kind of difficult to find out which
are available. I know of one place where they have a few, but
that's a 30 k's drive...
So, (I guess you already know what the question is,) can anyone
recommend a Swedish-language (bi-)weekly magazine, discussing
general interests (remember I want to clean up my Swedish a bit)?
Also, how much does it cost to subscribe, and does that include
mail delivery (I live in Belgium)?
Thanks,
Raf.
PS: I have a copy of a magazine called VI, that says it costs
268 kr for one year's subscription "utomlands", but that was
in 1986... Anyone know how much it is now?

I cannot give you the answer you want off the top of my head, but
I do have a suggestion: If you separate your two wishes 1) Keeping
up with Scandinavian news and 2) Maintaining your language, you
may do better.
With regard to 1) above, you are victim to the strange quirk that
the Scandinavian countries do not seem to have been able to produce
a Newsweek/Economist/Express/Spiegel type news magazine. Their weeklies
tend to be either a) Tales and scandals of the Famous or b) Economic
or business magazines. There are English language summary type
publications available through embassies; this might even be true
in Belgium. Another bet is the SAS in-flight magazine Scanorama
(free on flights and in SAS hotels), or you can write SAS in Copenhagen
(where it is published).
On question 2), here is my recommendation: Computer World (Sverige,
Norge,...). What is better for polishing your language than reading
material that you are basically familiar with. Some of these articles
are also translations of Amirican ones, though most are local.
CW Belgium can probably give you the addresses you wish.
Regards
Mauritz
