1) Music: The home of an internationally praised symphony orchestra. I don't know anything of children's music, though.
2) Education level. Probably one of the highest in the country. We've got one of the four (or five) full universities of the country, and one of the three(?) universities of technology. Under employment is probably not very high as there is no shortage of blue collar work.
3) Western hospitality. We're renowned for being open and hospitable, not like the reticient Northeners or stuffy Easterners or shallow Southerners.
4) "wierd." Not in any way. Sometimes they say that there is no upper class here, but only middle class and workers. That might be true. The really rich people here aren't more than you know the names of them all, and they don't fan their wealth but are mainly regarded as contributing to society.
4.5) The West coast is regarded as one of the most conservative Christian parts of the country. Among the Church of Sweden clergy, there is for example still an appreciable resistance against accepting female clergy. But if you ask the (wo)man in the street, that person will in all probabilty be perfectly uninterested in religious matters. (S)he will almost by definition accept evolution and will laugh at creationism (if they understand the notion at all), unless you happen to encounter a member of the exceptionally small minority of Jehova's Witnesses.
6) Not very much of a hill country, but certainly not flat either. And if you want an undisturbed walk in the woods, or to a lake suitable for a summer swim, it's within a (healthy, though) walking distance from the city centre. - Did I tell you that this is Sweden's 2nd largest city?
7) Major newspapers. We've got the no. 2 morning paper and I think the no. 2 evening one.
8) The capital. Doesn't mean very much in Sweden, but Gothenburg (Göteborg) certainly is the centre of Western Sweden, sporting a humanities university, a technological university, regional courts, a regional hospital and a collaborating pharmaceuptical company (from which for example Nobel Prize laureate Arvid Carlson) plus some major indistries.
9) Drug addicts is something that I've yet to identify here. And I have lived here for some 50 out of my 62 years of age. Crime is fairly low as well, particularly armed ones, as Sweden has strict laws on firearms (and knives and axes and baseball bats and whartever).
...) I can't give you a breakdown on ethnics or religions, as those things are considered private matters and would be illegal for even the government to record. In the sixties, there was a conscious recruitment of people from former Yugoslavia and bordering countries, to supply work force for the Volvo cars and SKF ball bearing companies. Those immigrants seem to be very well incorporated into Swedish society.
For bookbinding, I go to an Iranian guy, my shoes are mended by a man from Bosnia, my clothes are altered/mended by a couple from Lebanon (originally speaking Armenian), the neighbourhood pizzeria that used to be run by a Kurdish couple is now managed by two guys from somewhere around Kazakhsthan, and my two favourite restaurants are run by Sikhs from the Panjab. If you want to buy (S)E Asian food, there's three shops just in the very centre of the city. Not too bad for a town of some 500,000.
