2. Church
"One Sunday, something unusual happened in Pajala. The church was full. It was an ordinary Sunday service, the vicar was Wilhelm Tawe as usual, and normally there would have been plenty of room. But this Sunday it was packed. The reason was that the people of Pajala would get to see their first real live Negro."

"The only rule was not to aim at the face. However the arse and thighs were targets."

13. Housewives' keep-fit classes
"My God how the flab wobbled! The boobs bounced like sacks of flour, the spare tyres swelled like puffed up dough. Luckily they kept poor time to the music, otherwise if they'd jumped too high the floor would have collapsed."

14. Pajala's biggest crossroads
"We turned around and gazed uncertainly in every direction. The westward road led towards Kiruna. To the south you came to Stockholm. To the east the road led to Övertorneå and Finland. And the fourth stump of road led down to the ice-covered Torne River."

15. The Marshes
"Almost at the top of the map lay Pajala, surrounded by brownish tundra, and that was where we lived. If you turned back a few pages you saw that Skåne was as big in area as the whole of northern Sweden, only green-coloured with farmland that was fertile as hell. It took many years for me to cotton on to the map scale and realise that Skåne would have fitted in between Haparanda and Boden."
