I don’t know if Sweden is that cool but thanks! Just curious… what is the first thing you guys think about when you hear Sweden? Just wanna know what people think of us…

Thanks, if that was meant for me… wasn’t sure…

This is a litte stereotypical, but the color light blue, those painted horses, and sometimes a snowy cabin. Mostly the blue though. there's a swedish cafe near where I live and it's covered in those things.

What do you think of first when someone mentions america? (lol)

This outta be good…

Oh, well, ahem, I hope I don’t offend anyone right now…

So obviously the american flag, and then maybe… hamburgers? Also the 4th of July and then those kind of streets that are always in american movies… I have no good way to describe them but streets in Sweden doesn’t really look the same so I guess I just think of that. Oh, and fries.

I realise now that the street thing sounded a bit weird but oh well

All of those are pretty accurate, actually. In social studies we were talking about stereotypes for each country, and when we got to america it was all:
-hamburgers
-american flag
-eagle
-eagle noise
-pledge of alligence (do you have something similar? this is when schoolchildren sing about how great america is every morning)
-fries
-steakouts
-fourth of july

Wait, you do that every morning? Sorry, but that’s kinda weird to me… we never do that except maybe on our national day and then it’s like once if you go to an arranged celebration and other than that never. We have a national anthem, of course, but we almost never sing it…

I think it's weird too. At the start of every school day, kids stand up, put their hands over their hearts and recite:
We pledge alligence
To the flag
Of the united states of america
And to the republic
For which it stands
One nation
Under god
Indivisble
With libery, and justice,
For all.

Then we 'remain standing for a moment of silence' (idk what for) and then we sit down and continue with the day.

Oh, okay. Well, my favorite rumour about Sweden is that even our extroverts are introverts… sometimes it almost feels like it’s true

Have you heard any rumours about Sweden haha?

they're neutral in wars? none other than that…are there any?

I guess that’s true… hey, do you guys have a dress code in school?

Usually yes.

Oh boy yes

We don’t… we can dress however we want and I don’t think anyone would care at all

That's cool!

Yeah… just curious, how bad of a punishment would you get if you dressed inappropriete for school?

Our dress code isn't enforced anymore because girls kept threatening to sue when they were told that their clothes were too low or too short. But that's just my school

We have a dress code in the schoolbook, but few people care whenever someone breaks it. Yeah, someone might get a comment, "that crop top is really short", but the only time I know someone's ever got dress coded was a girl last year who has shorts that were suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper short.

Well that’s nice…

Oh my comment came a bit late but oh well

it's fine lol
