Kraken, Sweden

The soul difference

Kraken is a little village of 40 souls. The biggest differences Kraken makes to my daily life is the strong passage I always feel when I move myself from Italy where I live the most of time, to Kraken. This strong passage consists in noise that becomes silence, the air I breathe that becomes clean and dry, the sky that becomes blue as blue I never seen before, in people I meet that use to live their life in a respectful way between each other. I love how the people there invent games like "Snus" - a physical challenge between two people using their fingers to hold a pack of "Snus". They pull and pull and whoever gives up lost the game. The creativity of a small group of people and not by the mass.
