Sweden - Culture Smart!: The Essential Guide to Customs & Culture

Great guide to Swedish culture and society. Well written, and includes plenty of tips on socializing, communicating, and traveling around. Overall, found it really helpful during my recent trip. The info on history and values was interesting too!

Exciting read for my upcoming trip to Sweden

On time and easy to read.

I usually look at the size of books I buy. Unfortunately, I did not with this one. NOT worth $10 I paid for it. Not enough content and too small.

This is an excellent informative book about Sweden. I read this book for my personal pleasure and personal knowledge. I learned some new things that I didn't know before reading this book. Some of the interesting information that is mentioned in this book include the following information: 63% of Sweden is forested. There are no telephone booths in Sweden. Some classic Swedish food include the following: Renskav which is a thinly sliced reindeer and toast skagen which are shrimp and mayonnaise on a toasted bun. The Swedish smorgasbord is basically a self-service buffet of various food. Only about 20% of the Swedish people carry cash with them. In Sweden, many shops, restaurants, and cafes accept credit cards only. Most Norwegians, Danes, and Swedes understand each other. About half of the Swedish people live in houses and about half live in apartments. Stockholm is the only city in Sweden to have a subway system. The Ice Hotel which is 124 miles North of the Arctic Circle is rebuilt each year. It is made completely out of natural ice.

This was a gift so I cannot comment on it.
