Sweden has given us:
MOOMINS
ABBA
Stieg Larsson
Alexander Skarsgård
IKEA
and now...ELSA BILLGREN! (Who I will find and marry, my primary reason for wanting to visit Sweden)
Other reasons to LOVE Sweden include:
There was outrage when crown Princess Victoria wanted to be "given away" at her wedding because they think of it as unfeminist and anglo-american.
They have some kind of special Cake national holiday.
COMMENT BOX! YES!
ReplyDeleteOk, so obviously Sweden is amazingness itself, and I am genuinely considering learning Swedish so I can go there and bag myself a glorious viking man. And there are extra things that make Sweden fab, like
Jake Gyllenhaal is part Swedish (and his surname makes so much more sense when you know that)
Men get as much paternity leave as women do maternity leave, and it seems like they are properly expected to do their fair share of the child rearing
Their vodka is a lot nicer than Russian vodka
Daim! And Daim cake! And meatballs!
There may have been more but I can't remember them now since I haven't been allowed to make my comment for about a million years... lol
In sweden they have book dispensers on the underground! or they at least planned to in 2006! http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/caitlin_moran/article788365.ece
