Sweden 101: How to Understand Swedes (Even When It Makes No Sense) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798257021435)

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.
Not the official version.
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.
