so..
Sweden / Suecia .. =)

one thing that's important.. do come on time, even better be 5 minutes early.. if you come a few minutes late it's not to your favour...
una cosa que es importante.. llega a la hora correcta, aun mejor ven 5 minutos antes... si vienes algunos minutitos tarde no es a tu favor...

if you say to someone that you will be at a place at a certain hour, you have to be there, if not you have to inform the other person... it's more or less a promise made..
one can't really say, "I'll call you tomorrow" and then never doing so...
si has dicho a alguien que vas a estar en algun lugar en una cierta hora, tienes que estar allí si no hay que informar a la persona.. es mas o menos un compromiso..
no se puede decir "te llamare mañana" y despues nunca lo haras...

well.. that's what I could think of at the moment...
bueno... es lo que me ocurrio por el momento..
=)

Denmark

Dont be late - better come a little before. (if you arrive with a train - tell which train you come with - so the people wait for you - because trains can be late)

Danes dont say hi to everybody - for foreigns they can seems like they have enough in themselves. Thats not true - but you have to ask for help to get it. If you ask for help - most Danes like to help you.

From a foreigner - I was told - that if you sigh when you sit in the train - many will ask whats wrong. But if you just go in and sit next to another passanger - nobody talks to you - if you dont talk to them.

Dont expect that "wienerbrød" is the same as buying a "Danish" in USA. There is so much more different Wienerbrød than there is "Danish"

Danes eats a lot of pork meat - so if you buy things as a muslim - be aware - that there are things from porks in many items in Denmark. (there are actually more porks than people in Denmark)

Denmark has a lot of history - and likes to tell about our history - even we has been some bastards back in time (Wiking time is an important part of Danish history).

There aint a certain dress - code in Denmark. Its more about where you go - and who you visit. Of course there is a difference - if you join Roskilde Music Festival in mud - or visit the Royal family.

Hope other will participate in here
