... traditional Swedish (culinary-wise) that I could try and we ended up at a falafel joint. Partly for old times sake and partly because falafel is actually "traditional" Swedish. Did you know the most common name in Sweden is Muhammed? Second most popular is Ahmed. The Swedish have always had very lax immigration policy which is apparently starting to cause some concern. Ask Nik for more details on the consequences of Sweden being Socialist!<br> <br>We came ...

... some) swedes (check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW0tY2uc BNo). inside there was a dancefloor and a game the combined karaoke with points. it was funny and perhaps a cultural experience. the next day i left to spend the next 24hrs in copenhagen and sugata took the train to stockholm to catch his flight to australia. it was really cool seeing a friend from my time on exchange, and maybe even cooler to visit him on his own exchange.

... told me to come here to get an ID card and the lady at that other window told me that he was the guy to ask for one. He look at me incredulously. "You want a Swedish ID card?" "Yes, I do" "You want us to give you an ID card?" "Umm...yes?" What are you doing here in Sweden? Are you working here? Do you have a connection with this bank?" "Well.... I opened up an account here a couple weeks ago. I'm a student at Lund University. I have a Swedish social ...

... NEVER buy beer or wine at a grocery store. The alcohol percentages are like 3% for beer and 7% for wine. *Instead, you must go to Systembolaget, the state run liquor store (and the only liquor store allowed to operate in Sweden). But, Systembolaget does not really carry any good beer at all. Budweiser is 25 kronas per bottle, but I morally will not allow myself to drink that. Sierra Nevada (which is the best flavor ...

... i byen, jeg tilbod at gaa med ham bare for hyggens skyld, jeg ville gerne lige nyde KBH paa en sen eftermiddag. Vi Anede intet om hvor vi lige skulle finde noget mad, saa vi valgte en tilfaeldig retning og endte paa nyhavn hvor han fik at bid hos Johans Polsevogn, og saa gik vi en lille omvej ned langs havnen, jeg fik mig en Summersby, og saa gik vi ellers og snakkede om lost og fast. Da vi saa kom forbi et springvand og jeg udbrod "Ej, hvor er det flot ...

... went into Tivoli for the evening. Tivoli garden is like a piece of Disneyland that broke off and landed in Downtown Copenhagen. It is located directly next to the central station and you can see the rides spinning and moving from all over the city. Without a doubt, Tivoli was a theme park but Karla and I had a hard time guessing exactly what its theme is. It was a mix of royal palaces, water fountains, a carnival, pirates, and Chinese pagodas. I'm not sure if those things fit into one ...

... the most part they played funky jazz tunes, the kind you tap your feet to. But they interspersed this with some slower songs as well as some noise sections (which worked way better than I would have thought). The singer/keyboard man was incredibly funny and would tell us stories, hit us with the punch line then remember he forgot to tell us the start of the story. Ahhhhh memories... P.S. That thing about the word for breakfast/lunch was a joke ...

... that stick out through the shirts. -Netto...the budget grocery store...sells Pringles sour cream and onion potato chips for $3!!! -The Danish language is pronounced differently than it's spelled. Norwegian is the same written language with totally different grammar rules. -The danish word for a Danish (ya know...the pastry) is something like weinersbrod. That translates to pastry or bread of Austria.

... the mother. For the first en minutes, the little calf tried to get up with no success. Then, to his pain I am sure, he slowly started to get parts of his body up, and then collapse, or flip over, as he worked on getting his balance. Soon he mastered getting his but up, but his head was still down. Mom came to help, and gave his head a quick lick of the tongue, and this sent him flying again. But he quickly got his but up and fought to get his head up as well, and ...

... s office. Carrying my suitcases, I circled around the entire University and visited the Tourist's bureau before asking one random passer-by "Do you speak English?" When he grumpily replied "No, I don't" I realized it would be more effective and polite to ask the question in Swedish. But I didn't know how to do that! I gave up on communicating with the Swedes and walked to 7-11 (according to my discussion with the nice lady at the ...
