This is may be well known fact but what do you don't know about Sweden well I can't tell because I know.
Don't ask me stupid questions like: Is the girls much prettier in Sweden? Because the only reason sweden got that rep is because there's a lot of blonds here and trust me You don't have to look good only because you're blond, ok?
The swedes like fotball almost as much as the englishmen but he won't admit it because he thinks that the englishmen is primitive when it comes to fotball.
Our current biggest swedish fotballstar is Zlatan "Ibra" Ibrahimovich (juventus).
And other sports that the Swedes like to play are Bandy and Ishockey and especially bandy's something the rest of the world doesn't get at all (like cricket).
There is no polarbears wandering around our streets though most people think it's cold here it's not that cold.
One of the most famous things around the world is the swedish dalahäst: http://www.dalarnasmuseum.se/Butik/dalahast.jpegand yes I got one too
There is indeed very high taxes in this country but we have it pretty good here but as you know: You're never happy with the politicians (we have a lot of socialists).
Sweden is not little America although we like to be ahead of our time (but we never are it's just imagination).
We have this thing called Nobelprize and almost nobody ordinary people care.
Swedish people is very proud and their priciples are bone hard (until you give em alcohol and then they all drops out)
The music is something thats hard 4 me too talk about because I love almost everything but bands like In Flames, Hives, Europe, Cardigans and "Nick and the family" comes from here. But for some reason we all are totaly obsessed in something called the melody festival. And Cliff Burton died in a place called Småland.
The thing Swedish people hates probably most is that it sounds almost like Schweiz (wich we can't pronounce)
And there is probably a bunch more of myths that you wanna know about or questions you wanna ask.
And to all you english speakers out there 1T 15 N0T H4RD T0 S4Y: ÅÄÖ!
It's also right to confess if you're a sweet swede, nobody's gonna hit you and maybe you can help me out with some questions. So now it's up to you: What do you wanna know?
