I've recommended Swedish to a couple of friends in the UK as a language to learn just for fun and they love it. Both Danes and Norwegians understand it as well. The good ...

How lenient are they there on the alcohol issue, say in comparison to Saudi or Egypt?

I'm not religious, but there is something about Xmas carols and the victorian Christmas card image of Christmas that is endearing. I totally agree. I just love all those olde worlde winter coaching scenes and the religious xmas cards, showing the 3 kings following the star and the Holy Family in th...
