Taking the Student

When we graduate from the gymnasium we're taking the student.

The day when u r taking the student often use to look something like this:

U wake up and meet your frinds and having a nice champagne breakfast.

It's a little break and you drink as much as you can.

Then u go to the school and meet your class in a classroom and you will recieve your grades.

Then it's a little break and you tries to be even drunker.

Then the whole school meet each other and the principal have a little speach  and some of the students also holds one.

Then after all that, u and your class are really drunk and totally wasted.


And then efter all that we use to get on the back of a truck or convertible car and drunkenly shout and sing for hours at passers-by just because you graduated from school.

After all that you either fall asleep because you are so damn drunk and tired or you just keep on drinking and partying all night long.

The day after when you wake up you are feeling really bad and you realizes that you are unemployed.

Numbers

Scientists have look at the swedish system and how the swedes live and thay have find out that we just love to organize things which I find very good and it often makes things work easier.

For example we always need all these numbers. We use'em when we go to the System ( when a Swede talks about "the system", he's not talking about beating the establishment; he's talking about buying liquor.) we need all this numbers in the store for every type of drink.


We also use to have queue-tickets with numbers which is very smart. 


We just like to put numbers into/at everything!

Having a Child

Here in Sweden  the state want us to have children and the state even pays us for every child that we have. And the more children you have the more money you gets foe every child.

We anyway do not get that much children as we could have becasue I believe we often think it's just tiresome to have them.

And we therefore use to find teenage mums shocking and very strange; because we don’t know anyone who had a child before 25 and we thought that was young.


Young mums are not common over here.

Snus

Snus is a  moist powder tobacco product originated from a variant of dry snuff in the early 19th century in Sweden, consumed by placing it under the lip for extended periods of time.


The sale of snus is illegal in the European Union, but due to exemptions, it is still manufactured and consumed primarily in Sweden and Norway. Its popularity is growing in the United States as an alternative to smoking and traditional "chewing" tobacco.


Snus is actually pretty gross.
But we always refuse to believe that snuff or “snus” is harmful.
Since snuff “isn’t harmful”, we can’t understand why no one except the Scandinavians use it.

Eastern

                                        This is a normally painted Easternegg with candy in it.
In the springtime we have a religious event which we call the eastern.
We have also different characters from the eastern like the easternbunny which comes and puts out eggs in our gardens for the children.
We have something that we call easterneggs which we fill up with candy.


And the girls use to dress up as witches for Easter and boys dress up as hobos.

Swedish TV

We always have really much reklam in the swedish tv. One more thing is that we use to spend much interest and money at the decoration in the studio. I find it good with a nice environment to look at and for the people to be in. 
For example. We find it normal that the most serious debates between the political leaders of the country broadcasted on TV are held in charming and homey milieus, including flowered curtains, blond wood, colorful pillows, pastries and coffee.
I find it really cozy but sometimes it's maybe a little bit to much. 

Sunshine

 In the northeren parts of Sweden like kiruna the sun is always up in the summertime. It's really beautiful and some of the people who lives there have problems whith sleeping.
So if you're not careful enough, you will still be knocking on doors in summer at 11:00 pm...and the sun is still out.

Recycling

 Recycling is very good and we love to do it. Everytime you get the chance to recycle something we do it. And we get guilty conscience from throwing things in the dustbin that could have been recycled.

Fireworks

Fireworks is something that swedes really like.
We use to have fireworks at christmas, easter and just about every occasion (at least when there's darkness).

A beautiful place to visit.

 One really wonderful and really odd and interresting place to visit here in Sweden is Jukkasjärvi icehotell. It's an entire hotell made out of ice.http://www.icehotel.com/

unwritten laws

At Christmas we use to buy boxes with chocolate, and in this boxes it's two layers of choklate pralines. One thing which is forbidden is to take chocolate from the bottom layer because U've find something interesting down there. Thats's totally forbidden.
