Ever wondered why Swedes love silence, personal space and perfectly organized queues?
No one will talk to you on the bus.
Everyone will stand at a safe, invisible distance.
And if you accidentally skip a queue,
your social life is over.
Welcome to Sweden.
This is a humorous guide to understanding Swedes.
The real one.
You will learn:
- why maybe usually means no
- why silence is completely normal
- why personal space is taken very seriously
- why summer changes everything
- why alcohol temporarily changes people
- and why nobody will explain any of this to you
This book will not make you Swedish.
But it will make everything
slightly less confusing.
