In addition, find out more about the Swedish art of toasting and why leisure time is valued. Packed full of information for day-to-day living, at home and in the office, this guide will help you to find your unique place in the country of the Dala horse and Gamla Stan. CultureShock! Sweden is the definitive guide that will help you fit into the country and before long, you will be throwing your very own surströmming and crayfish parties.

    Finnkampen. The longest running track and field competition between two nations is in Sweden and Finland on alternate years, and is always sold out

    Another Scandinavian joke (told by the Swedes on themselves) is that of two Danes, Norwegians, Finns and Swedes stranded on four separate islands. By the time they are all rescued, the Danes have set up a co-operative, the Norwegians are out fishing, the Finns have cut down all the trees and the Swedes are still waiting to be introduced.

    Take the change and the paper with a third thank you and goodbye. The newsagent says goodbye as well. This means at least nine extra words as far as a Swede is concerned—just think of the waste, and no one benefits from this! Better just to do the job and get on with it
