It's so hot here ...people walk slowly, and most often, people from other countries think we're lazy.<BR/><BR/><BR/>It's life in the slow, humid lane that we do not even have a Filipino word for "seconds" and "minutes".

I'm first-generation Swedish-American, scorned by my Swedish relatives for my impure handling of the Svensk tongue, and mocked by Americans for not being able to pronounce any word that begins with "w." Also met with disbelief when I tell people I'm Swedish, as my hair is no longer blonde, but instead, a dull, mousy brown (as is the hair of many of my real Swedish cousins, who were once towheads, too.)<BR/><BR/>You are very "kul!" Maybe breast warts were caused by those viking breast plates, and that's why the Swedes hate them.<BR/><BR/>What can you say about a country where it's not customary to tell loved ones that you love them, where canned delicacies are buried in the ground and caviar comes in tubes??<BR/><BR/>My favorite Swedish word is sjuksköterska.<BR/><BR/>hej hej!<BR/><BR/>AnnikaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16776226.post-1162203928158067802006-10-30T02:25:00.000-08:002006-10-30T02:25:00.000-08:00HAHA! det är rätt! :DHAHA! det är rätt! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16776226.post-1162170656396844122006-10-29T17:10:00.000-08:002006-10-29T17:10:00.000-08:00OH my, how interesting!
