I just read this list that some Aussies wrote about their time in Sweden and it is so true! It just gives you a bit of an idea of how things really are here and may make you laugh a little as well!

You know you’ve been in Sweden too long when…..

1. You think that riding a bicycle in the snow is a perfectly sensible thing to do.
2. You regard it as sensible that the ice cream van comes around playing that annoying song when it is -15C.
3. The first thing you do upon entering a bank/post office/chemist (anywhere really!) is to look for the queue number machine. You accept that you will have to queue to take a queue number.
4. You accept that if someone wants to “follow” you home you don’t need to be afraid. They actually just want to walk you home.
5. Hugging is reserved for sexual foreplay
6. You've come to expect Sunday morning sidewalk vomit dodging.
7. Someone calls you a ”good moron” first thing in the morning and you smile acknowledgement.
8. When a stranger asks you a question in the streets, you think it's normal to just keep walking, saying nothing.
9. You think that people who wear other colours apart from black, grey, white or blue are exhibitionists.
10. Trousers/pants tucked into all shoes, including low-top sneakers, seem like reasonable fashion sense.
