Polonia / Ever been to Sweden? [185]
I'm late into this discussion but I'd like to offer a reflection on Marek's comment about critizising Swedes. I also live in Sweden (and in Gdansk for hollidays) and my reflection is that there is nothing more typically swedish is the paradoxical combination that we are deeply self-critical/apologetic and at the same time believing that we have discovered the perfect model for a society.
HAL9009: While Swedish is probably not the easiest language to learn (e.g. our grammar is messed up...) but there is no way that Finnish is easier!
