You know you're from sweden when..
-Everytime you see a swedish Brand/actor/company/phone/car/furniture store you feel compelled to point that out to your Non-Swedish friends (with barely hidden pride in your voice)
-You seriously want to HURT Non-Swedes who ask 'how's life in SWITZERLAND?
-People ask you if you have polar bears on the streets and you try to spread the myth further by saying it is true
-You go seriously sentimental when entering an IKEA store, outside the borders of Sweden.
-You love complaining about Sweden when you are there and state "it's much better in Sweden" when you are abroad
-You know at least 10 Abba songs by heart
-Whenever discussing international problems you always, without exception state that "why don't you do it like we do it in Sweden?"
-You take your shoes off when entering a house, and don't get why non-Swedes find that funny
-You don't consider a congregation of trees being a "real" forrest unless it takes at least 20 minutes to drive through it
-It annoys the hell out of you that there is no good translation for the word "lagom" in any language
-You don't mind walking instead of taking the car
-Generally, you prefer writing in pencil, so you get thoroughly confused and insecure when told to write in pen during exams in schools abroad
-You answer the phone by saying your first name and not just "hello"
-You actually miss “Knäckebröd” when you are abroad but never eat it in Sweden since it's too dry-You answer the phone by saying your first name and not just "hello"
-You insist that Swedish chocolate is the best in the world, despite what the Belgians and the Swiss might say
Såå himla sant, det är precis så svenska utbytisar beter sig. haha jag skulle kanske inte hålla med om att jag svarar genom att säga mitt namn,för jag säger faktiskt hej och inte bara mitt namn. och jag har fortfarande inte hört frågan om isbjörnar. Inte av en massa människor i alla fall, kanske någon enstaka. :)
