I am a swede myself and I really enjoyed reading this book - I had some great laughs. The author does a very good job in balancing funny anecdotes or cliches with matter of fact descriptions of what Sweden is really like. I highly recommend this book!

A very accurate description of what to expect, what to do (swedish etiquitte), how to act and assimilate gracefuly into a deliteful culture. This book prepares your mind to be watchful of all the intricacies that make Sweden a unique and fascinating place. Without having read this book in advance of my arrival in Sweden, the Swedish details might have escaped my notice. This book is a definite buy - well written and very accurate.

Hey everyone. I'm going to be an exchange student, leaving for Sweden on July 31, 2000, and coming back sometime in June/July 2001. I recently bought this book and loved it. It's got everything you need to know about staying in a counrty for a long period of time, it gives you histroy of the cournty, laws, things you never thought about bringing, and what not to bring, what the people are like, just an amazing wealth of knowledge. If your going to be spending time in Sweden, this is an awesome book to read.
