Swedes are pretty cool! I love Stockholm. I was fascinated by the number of 7 Elevens, the amount of ham and cheese everything (ost and skinka! my swedish words) and the wonder that is the Banama ice cream bar. Oh, and there were kittens in a zoo. That was silly.
Oh and you have fantastic hockey players! Except for Mats Sundin.
Hehe yes we have plenty of 7 Elevens, well at least in Stockholm and Gothenburg, but I don't think we have any 7 Elevens here, I live in a small town.
"ost and skinka!" Maybe I should teach you some more useful words in case you visit our lovely country again ;)
Which zoo did you visit? Was it Skansen?
hehe well I think you might have greater hockeyplayers over there ;) What team do you support? |

I did learn a few other words, but i forget now. Whatever meatball is was key! But yes, I few more words would be appreciated if I come back. Oh, "hey,' "tak.' I remember those!
7 Elevens were good landmarks thought because we couldnt pronounce any of the street names. So we used 7 Eleven, "Flag Street," "Dead Dandilion Fountain," etc to figure out where we were.
Yes! It was Skansen! In the kid's petting zoo part. It was me and my friends and a bunch of 5 year olds petting goats and kittens. And in the real zoo part, the mooses and bears and things looked drugged. Actually, sitting infront of me on my desk at work is a picture of my friend sitting on a Dala Horse in Skansen!
First and foremost, Im an Ottawa Senators fan. So, DANIEL ALFREDSSON! I also like the Montreal Canadiens, but I dont think they have any Swedes. Trying to think... |

Sweden was awesome when I was there in Malmo, most of my time was across the bridge in Danmark though in Copenhagen.
We made the Seven/Eleven shop round our corner the best sales in the whole country for the weekend.
3000 Norn Iron fans needing fed and watered made him very happy.

That would be rødgrød med fløde, and I am very impressed if you can say that right. For some reason we love making foreigners say this cos most can't pronounce it. Same goes for røgede ørredder, which just means smoked trouts. Dunno why dishes present toungue twisters.

Anyway I love Sweden and have done since I was a kid.
I remember drawing the three crowns on all my folders in school when I first saw the Ice Hockey team at the Winter Olympics way back not to mention the legends Tomas Brolin and Martin Dahlin. |

You are precious.
Also, people of Sweden, please tell my why you put bananas on your pizza. And there was some fantastic pizza place around the corner from our hotel and the guy gave us free salad because we entertained him with our lack of knowledge of the Swedish language.
and i had a conversation about the Senators with a changeroom attendent in H&M. |

I wish I remembered more about Denmark/Sweden, problem was I arrived after no sleep for 24 hours and was standing in the main square in Copenhagen plastered, then we went to Christiana and I remembered even less.
I think I got to bed 38 hours after I left my house here.
Tivoli was closed when I was there which was this time two years ago, but I went and did the boat trips and Carlsberg factory etc.
Oh and I saw Snow Patrol in Vega the night before we left. It was mental.
Good times. reminds me my Facebook pic was waiting for me dinner before we did the boat trip and nearly got knocked out on the bridges. |

I'm so glad to see that you guys love our little country :D
I will try to answer your questions as good as I possible can...
Meatballs = Köttbullar ( pronounce it like Shirt-bull-are)
Bananas on pizza! Well I think that's kind of disgusting, I like pineapple on pizza though. The people making pizza in our country are often turks, syrians or serbians so maybe it's their specialty!
Funny that you mentioned Brolin and Dahlin, they are still our national-heroes after that bronze in the world cup 94'! |

Why do you know the sentence "Du är lite nyfiken"? haha
For you guys that don't speak swedish this means "You're a bit curious" |

Its pronounced shirt-bull-are? Kott=shirt? what?
Oh the people that must have been laughing at me.
I hate pineapple on pizza, but it is a common topping here. I just highly dislike when pineapple and tomato sauce mix. |

Oh I suck at explaining how words are pronounced, but yeah I kind of thought that "kött" and "shirt" sounds the same :P It takes some time for me to get everything right in english too. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, but I hope you can understand me ^^
A meatball = "en köttbulle"
meatballs = "köttbullar"
An american pizza is like a totally different thing to me, the bread is much thicker =) |
