I dont know how many times I have gotten away with things that the locals wouldnt have. <br /><br />and swedes love to practice their english with me too. Though its not as blatant as perhaps what you go through. <br /><br />Have you ever tried pretending you were an american or aussie when you are back home? could be a fun little experiment for you to try.alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-5836284859035257172010-05-23T07:43:42.713+08:002010-05-23T07:43:42.713+08:00Wannes -Maybe I should... but it sounds like a lot...Wannes -Maybe I should... but it sounds like a lot of work. I think I'm simply too lazy for that! <br /><br />ShanghaiMiFeng -no they are not. But I simply dont have time to move for the time being. I'm working pretty much every wknd. <br /><br />Alex :)<br /><br />Anonymous -Slowly getting used to it!<br /><br />胡崧 -4700 rmb. Not 5000. Cant really blame the landlord for this. How could he know?<br /><br />Martin -thanks! :) <br /><br />Flyingfish -one of the charms with living in China.. and u r right. I dont have time to do anything more than to complain about it. <br /><br />Alex -Do u realize that u r asking the wrong Swede? I haven't lived in Swe for 10 years! I am not the most "typical" Swede anymore. Here are my answers:<br /><br />1. Never had an Ericsson. Same ringtone? well no one in my family has the same ringtone that's for sure. <br /><br />2. What? Nah, that's what it's like in China!! In Sweden everyone sits down until the very last min?!<br /><br />3. Could not agree more. <br /><br />4. No idea about the current fashion code. Leggings are universal though, no? <br /><br />5. Crayfish with just salt and dill... yeah well.. we tend to love the natural flavor in Sweden. Call it boring if you like but it's actually quite healthy. <br /><br />6. That's more Finns than Swedes. Ever been to Finland? Salmiaki is huge over there. I'm personally not a huge fan, but I don't mind it. <br /><br />AB - :)Jonna Wibeliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08954672453008704738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-42609891071021119152010-05-21T22:58:05.203+08:002010-05-21T22:58:05.203+08:00The mysteries of the Orient!The mysteries of the Orient!ABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159965456052359554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-12665121173079376162010-05-21T08:41:08.245+08:002010-05-21T08:41:08.245+08:00Jonna, heres some of my(as an american) impression...Jonna, heres some of my(as an american) impression and thoughts of Sverige that I would looove for you to try and rationalize for me here :D<br /><br />1.) Everyone in sweden has the same ringtone!..and they all use Sony Ericsson (with an occasional nokia in between)<br /><br />2.) Every swede gets up and starts hurrying to the exit on a bus or on the train long before it get anywhere near the stop? Kan de bara ta det lugnt el?<br /><br />3.) No one can pronounce the word "bear", they all say "beer".<br /><br />4.) girls do not use nail polish on their toenails nor flip flops, and about 80% wears black or white tight leggings on a daily basis.<br /><br />5.) Cooks kräftor with just salt and dill? (blir alla svenskar gallen?? :-O) come on, seriously, you gotta cook it right, like we do it in canjun country, with lots of spices, corn on the cob and potato!<br /><br />6.) Loves licorice flavor? I find this disturbing.<br /><br />and a few others osv, like the whole kronofogden and personnr system that I wont get into here :)alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-6778071860022198112010-05-20T18:33:26.035+08:002010-05-20T18:33:26.035+08:00I'm with Wannes!
