Swedish meatballs
Green Saab 900 Classic (1987) with a tan leather interior - I can almost smell it :lol:

Blue & Yellow Flat Pack Furniture Company
Skiing / Skiers / Cross-Country with rifles :shock:

Nature / Pine Trees / Hiking
Clean Water / Mountain Lakes (kinda like the Rockies in late spring)
Swedish Cook from The Muppets
Abba
Stockholm
Malmo

Having never been there, my mind's picture of Swedish "nature" is rather much like in British Columbia/Alberta. And FWIW, I think of Sauna as Finnish as is Nokia. Lego = Danish.

Ikea, yellow and blue, lots of beautiful nature, lakes, saunas, snow

Aadje wrote:nokia? or is that from finland? The rest is already mentioned here . . .

Yep, it's from Finland. Other stuff has also been stolen: sauna and high suicide rates are 100% Finnish.

Hmm, is there a connection?

Blondes, Saab, Sauna, nice environment... ehm...

Maybe your school should invite us all (on their expense ofcourse) to see what Sweden really is about

I'm not sure they would approve.

Thank you all for your input. It will surely help us in completing our task.

Oh, and more stuff kept poppin up in my head throughout the day/night...

smorgasbord
gravlax
lucia
Alfred Nobel
Ace of Base
Midnight Sun
Ingrid Bergman
Greta Garbo
Pippi Longstocking

For promotion ideas of the warmer side of Sweden, look at the Molson videos. I posted that link somewhere.... look at the "Canadians are Polite" video. Then again, I like the style of nearly all of them. NO, I'm NOT biased

Mainly a local delicacy named Surströmming!!!
Something I wouldn't feed my worst friends...

Julbord, something to look forward to in the dark days before Xmas and of course the Tomte
Lutfisk
Spettekaka, another delicacy I would recommend..
Lussekatter
Messmör, takes a little getting used to
Knäckebröd, known all over the world
Tunnbröd
Hjortron
åkerbär
Isterband
Risgrynsgröt

Washed down with a glass off glögg (except for the Tomte)

Do you notice I was a chef once in a dark past..
Sweden has a great history of preparing good and hearty foods in order to cope with the long and cold winter.

Snow
snow
snow
saab
volvo
ikea

You say it's for school I'm intrigued to know what for - misconceptions, stereotypes, ??

by **frippz** » Mon Feb 27, 2006 9:18 am

Well, the stereotype thing might come in handy for future projects. Especially concerning blonde big-breasted women. But maybe we have ourselves to blame for that since many public persons are female, blonde bimbos.

Before I start: Ursäkta, men jag inte talar svenska =)

Everybody tries not to be lagom
Digital alcohol consumption (No acl during the week + coma drinking on weekends)
Home Brewing
Volvo vs. Saab
Americans searching the "Swedish Bikini Team"
A cool grading system at university (fail, pass, high pass)
Everybody speaks English / no need for swedish if you are a foreigner
Funny "tack" conventions
