On the other hand I'm not that kind of guy, I'm proud of my heritage, our great art-culture and traditions. However many of my compatriots are not. It's a sad but true fact, nothing I can do so much about but you have to admit that our folk-costumes do look rather silly (we're not the only country with tasteless costumes but that doesn't change the fact that they're horrible to look at). And swedish hospitality? Even if the regular swedes are selfloathing they seem to take pride in representing our famous hospitality). / Stoopid over and out Well Handyman, being politically correct in my own country you have a point.

Isn't that just typical swedish behaviour to be ashamed of your own culture and "silly" traditions? Be proud of your roots - everybody else is. (This dosn't have to mean that you get offended when others make fun of it!) Tim & Stoopid!

We're very customer oriented in Sweden.... Went to a restaurant the other day (not IKEA) and was going to buy lunch (about 9USD). In front of me was a woman who came up with the great idea of replacing the pasta in her Pasta/Tomato'n'Meat dish with rice. I liked this idea as I had pasta the day before, but wanted the Tomato'n'meat thingie... When I asked for a plate with the same thing as the customer before me I was met with a; "Well, this was not the intention". WTF! I am paying 9 USD for a shitty meal (this was your typical mall restaurant) and the chef thought it was too much job changing my pasta for some rice!!!! There u have it; Swedish Hospitality What’s negative prone attitute I sense conserning Swedish hospitality?
