Swedish Facts
To get you in the Swedish frame of mind, here are a few snippets of information about our Nordic friends:
Sweden is the 4th largest country in Europe
Like in Britain, Sweden is one of the few remaining countries to still have a monarch.
Stockholm is made up of several small island connected by bridges making the scenery breathtakingly spectacular.
Two of Sweden's main exports are paper and cars(Volvo and the Saab).
Useful (well
quite frankly essential) phrases for when you are in Sweden.
Cheers! Skål!
