Sweden Is The New Great Britain...
To me. I love all things British; especially when it comes to music. However, all things Swedish are turning out to be quite dapper. The race is on! Here are a few reasons why Sweden is approaching Great Britain's status in my mind:
1. Abba - they've been training for years to be in this race
2. The Concretes - HELLO! With lyrics like "You can't hurry love" or "He gives me sugar again instead of salt," you KNOW I'm bound to love 'em
3. Envelopes - the band, NOT the thing you put a letter in
4. IKEA
5. Massages
6. Ricard (Tina's friend) - somebody please get me a picture!
What country's culture are you particulary interested in? Mongolia, anyone?

I am very glad you've discovered Sweden. I love it (and just bought a whole bunch of IKEA furniture for my new apt.). Check out Roxette (band) also--they're great, too! Also: moose, lots of beautiful lakes, millions of stars at night because virtually no light pollution, awesome coast landscapes, nice, rough northern weather... Aaah! I love Sweden!! And my best friend ever is Swedish!
Hmm, that's how I feel about Denmark.
And Ann Christensen would argue the case for Mongolia.
Hm, I'm into the "Sw" countries, too -- but mostly the ones that end in "itzerland."
um...you're forgetting the Swedish Chef, perhaps the best thing to ever come out of Sweden.
you also forgot meatballs...crucial
The Swedes are unpretentious, kind and value social equality. Those are the best things. But they get along really well with English people so your love for British and Swedish things can naturally and happily co-exist. You have most excellent taste.
Not to mention that you are related to the Kings of Sweden! Oh, but you are also well related to William the Conquerer de Normandie Born 14 Oct 1024!!! and Conan I Duke of Bretagne B 0927 of Bretagne, France. and Ranulf De Meschines Viscount De Bayeux abt 1050 of Normandy France and Richard "Strongbow" Fitzgilbert De Clare b abt. 1125 Of Tunbridge, Kent England. and Olaf Gudrodsson King of Jutland and Vestfold of Norway, And Olaf "The Wood Cutter" Ingjaldsson born abt 682 of Varmland, Sweden and of course your wicked side comes from Ingiald "Braut" "The Wicked" Onundsson King in Sweden born abot 660 and Vladimir I "The Great" Grand Duke of Kiev b 55-1015 Kiev, Ukraine.and Olaf III "Skotkonung" Eriksson King of Sweden born abt 950 Uppsala, Sweden.BUT WAIT!! THERE'S MORE! Also, Rognvald I "THE WISE" EYSTEINSSON EARL OF MORE AND ROMSDAL of Norway, and Poppa Duchess of Normandy born 0872 of Neustria, and of Course Skjold King of the DANES born abt 237 Of Hleithra, Denmark and GODWULF born about 0080 of Asgard, Asia or East Europe! And last but not least, Coel "Old King Coel" (Coilus) King of Britain Born 0125 of Britain died 0170 Of course there are more, but I don't need to brag for you here. Oh yea, also, there is a rat or two in your geneology, Edward I "Longshanks" King of England Born 17 Jun 1239 Oh WELL< it is just your blood line. Then they came to the really good "Land of the FREE", LOVE MOM
