Hi there Osu! players! My country is sweden and I've for a long time now wondered what peaple from other countries think and know about sweden. Like, what do you know about the swedish culture? Would you consider a vaccation in sweden? Did you know that sweden converted from driving on the left side of the road to the right side of the road(Yes, sweden actually did that. I'm not joking!)? I'd appreciate replies of what you think and know.

NOTES:

Sweden and Switzerland are NOT the same country (I hear a lot of peaple mix them up)
In sweden, not everyone are blond with blue eyes.

Just having a signature is not cool enough.

What!? Where did you get that from? That's not true at all. You may flush your toilet when ever you want.

I know some things.

It is my neighbour country
Somehow some of them eat surströmming - if you don't know what that is, it's basically fermented herring or such.
They had a submarine incident or such with Russia or something like that
Jag vet Svenska ganska bra (I know Swedish quite well) heh.
We were under their rule for quite some time and that's why Swedish has been a compulsory subject around here for quite a while.

Even if my country wasn't visible, I believe you could know where I was from regardless, lol.

That's the only thing my Swedish friend has ever said anything to me about Sweden .

I heard gymnastic ladders (wall bars) were invented in Sweden.

Nobody really knows when the body dies. After brain death, and then organ failure, and all the electricity's gone, a rotting corpse still feeds the world, mother's diesel for the biological engine of life. Who knows where the internet will go, or for how long, or in what strange aeons it will return? Who can say if ours was even the first?

Yup I heard about the traffic switch, it's called H-day iirc.
Sounds crazy when the switch was actually against 80% of public opinion.

Neighboor which is better than us (Finland) in pretty much everything (soccer, Ice-Hockey, most e-sport games, music...). Also this Millenium trilogy comes to my mind because it's one of my favorite trilogy movies.

Oh and of course IKEA. Should get new ready-to-assembles from there soon.
