Unless, that is, you include yourself. ![]() Topic: have you ever had any uncomfortably close encounters with a moose or a wolf in your home country? |

Uncomfortable? Not really. A moose stared at me for a while (Though I haven't actually seen that many since I spend little time out in the forests) and though I found that odd, I consider them far too ugly to take them seriously. |

It shifts pretty quickly between different reality shows. Currently, I think it's a show about guys in the colder north of Sweden trying to get girls from the south of Sweden. Before that it was farmers looking for wives. Before that it was a Survivor-like show on a farm. |

Is there any kind of national day for celebration in Sweden?

Yes, we have a National Day. It's the sixth of June. However, some people more or less ignore this day, mostly because the election of king Gustav Vasa it was chosen for was so long ago the day doesn't feel special anymore. Not to mention patriotism in general is not present to that high of an extent in Sweden. |

Is Sweden particularly mountainous? |

Ice hockey is not THAT popular in Sweden. Soccer is. |

On the internet? Well, when I talk to Swedish people, which I rarely do. |

We really don't have any. Some things can be described as landmarks (Including the Picasso sculpture in Kristinehamn and a beautiful building called Turning Torso in Öresund), but we really don't have any big famous ones. (In my own town, Karlstad, the only noticeable object is the statue of peace in the central square, nicknamed "Hag in the square", famous for being voted Sweden's ugliest statue) Pictures: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Kristinehamn_Picasso_statue_06.jpg/450px-Kristinehamn_Picasso_statue_06.jpg http://www.mediaarchitecture.org/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/TurningTorso11.jpg http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc90/Barva/karringen_pa_torget.jpg |
