Blue-yellow country

Today I am moving educational ideas. That is, I want to destroy some nasty stereotypes and provide reliable information with timid hope that someone will find something from this post to his soul. I want to talk about the Viking country, Sweden, in which I worked for a while. Okay, when Sweden is confused with Switzerland. It’s good if its capital is Copenhagen. But one of my acquaintances recently gathering in all seriousness, which in Sweden speaks in Lapland (!) language. How does he know such a word at all?

Convincing him that he ~~asshole~~ wrong, I reviewed my old and not very Swede, and I wanted ~~tell the common people~~ tell about this wonderful country. Therefore, while on dirty streets, loose snow, bowel movements and garbage lies everywhere, I propose to distract a little from non -casual reality and take a walk along the beautiful and sunny, summer and pre -scientific cities of Sweden: Malmo, Gooteborg, Stockholm, Ore, Nordsheeping, Kirun… honestly, despite my frequent visits to Sweden, I know the language quite weakly – I can read the children’s fairy tale about the kitten maximum Findus.

Let’s start with dry facts. Sweden is a large country of the European North, the constitutional monarchy, the official language – Swedish. Currency-de jure, Swedish crown, de facto, you can pay the euro, for the country is civilized, and the authority of the crown falls, both in the market and in the eyes of the Swedes themselves.

In the Swedish language, the letter J is read as th, which creates certain problems for English -speaking, starting to study the Swedish language. Like you, for example, Jessica instead of Jessica, Julia instead of Julia, Jouncement instead of Johnson, etc.p.

Now you can go to more interesting information. Swedes – a very clean nation. On the street, in addition to ordinary garbage containers, who cannot be found in races and during the day with fire, there are still urns for dog waste, and there are containers with free packages on the streets for that very. On the trees hang numbered birdhouses, and pensioners rolled along the beautiful prayer streets.

Simple, but comfortable electric trains are equipped with a TV and wifai, and trains are available with available microwaves. And in the doorway of hotels, as many as two eyes, for an adult and for the child. Although, I agree, this is not the most high -tech invention.

Cinema, wine and domino

That from the Swedish is worthy of the attention of the book? I have not read so many Scandinavian literature, but, in addition to all famous children’s writers Selma Laherlef And Astrid Lindgren, I also advise you to pay attention to “Anniara»Fantast Harry Martinson and on “Executioner” Lagerquist’s pen. I will also advise the mainstream writer Stig Larson, which wrote the cycle “Dragon tattoo girl“.

The Swedes conquered Hollywood. Greta Garbo It was considered his queen before the Second World War, after which she no longer starred and died in obscurity. From the stars of modern cinema, far beyond the borders of the country are known Dolph Londgren And Max von Sudov.

And the Swedes also https://gamblingdata.net/casinos/paradise-casino/ adore their football star Zlatana Ibragimovich And so often they recall him on television that any joke associated with him becomes Bayan on default. But he did not seem to advertise chips. Vikings are also proud of their companies and brands, like IKEA, Volvo, Tele2 and others.

The fox of Misonsci (yes, it is the fox) is well known to gamers on the main topic of Mirror’s Edge

Blame it on the disco

Now let’s move on to an important aspect for understanding the Swedish nature. What I can tell the most fully. Music. Swedes – a very musical nation. The country is proud of a large number of musicians creating in various genres and styles. Moreover, not all of them are purebred Swedes, this is due to the abundance of migrants. In the dense Soviet Union, from the vast Swedish stage, except that, Abba And Army of Lovers. Sweden is mainly famous for its hits and disco hits, but if you dig deeper, you can find a whole storehouse of various artists.

There are many popular television shows in the country that open up new talents annually. Often, the Swedes are simply gathering in the arena or in open areas and sing national favorite songs along with popular artists in such shows as, for example, Lotta På Liseberg, Allsång på Skansen And Melodifestivalen. An important role is played by video hosting YouTube, through which they became famous Linus Svenning, Samir & Viktor, as well as an indie artist Yonna Lee, better known as Iamamiwhoami.

Electronic music
Electronic music in Sweden also love. Especially, as for me, stamping monotonous dancing or hits interspersed with dabstep and identical modulations. Outside the country, Avicii, Alesso, BassHunter, Jay-Jay Johansson and participants in the decayed Swedish House Mafia are quite known.

Pop and hip-hop

Despite certain genre supplies, Swedish popes and hip-hop music are also inextricably linked with the hike and often cooperate with the corresponding artists:

Rock
Sweden is also full of various rockers, known both within their country and all over the world. These are groups Roxette, Sabaton, H.E.A.T., Dead by April, Europe, The Poodles, Outtrigger, State of Dramama, Naverstore, Ammotrack, Dynasty, Hammerfall, Amiramanthe, Pain of Salvation, The Ark – you can’t mention everyone!

– Russian soldier in Battlefield 3

The Swedes are actively working for the benefit of the gaming industry. Notorious Dice In the sweat, the faces are working on Battlefield And hesitate with the expected Mirror’s Edge 2; far from the last role in the sector of global strategies plays Paradox Interactive; Good games in different genres are made in Starbreeze; For the benefit of horror, their games are released Frictional Games, High -quality modification is also known Cry of Fear.

The developers of the Viking country have put their hand to the famous series Just CAUSE, NFS, Bionic Commando. Swedes by nationality are the creator of Minecraft Marcus Persson And the record hold of YouTube by subscribers – Pewdiepie.

So, it seems I told everything about everything. Before that, in his posts he constantly made some smart and not very conclusions, reasoned something, argued about something with himself. Perhaps this post will be an exception. The conclusion here is very simple, and it will be only one – in Sweden and the language of the Swedish.
