I have to say that Sweden is one of my favourite countries. I have friends in Goteborg and Lund and really like to people. Yes, some of those things ring true and Midsommer is an interesting time. I'm heading back there next March and really looking forward to it. Oh - one thing: A Swedish mile is NOT a mile, so don't think you can walk the two miles into town after spending your cab money on beer! |

Don't know about the rest, but I share your view about peanut butter & jelly sandwiches.(what the US calls "jelly" we call "jam") Yuk. Cheers Dek. :med: --- End quote --- Isn't it jam if made from berries, and jelly if from fruit? Or the other way around. Mosey |

Marv, The consumption of lutfisk is dwindling, thank God! I think it's disgusting... But most of that is mostly true, I tried PB&J when I was in Seattle. Not my thing... Mayhem is right, a Swedish mile is 10 km (about 6 Anglo-Saxon miles)... Takes a couple of hours to walk, if not more, if you spent the cab money on beer... Speaking of which, it's expensive if you don't like stuff as light as American "normal" beer (don't order Pripps Blå, it's as thin as Budweiser...). But Systembolaget (the state owned "off license") is better than you think, the staff know their stuff, and the selection is pretty good at any of their stores. And, if you ever come here, you must try "Tunnbrödsrulle och en Pucko"! I'll leave to Neo and Saw to explain... Kjelle (who drinks Swedish coffee almost like the article said, except for before bed...) |
