1. Swedes drink MILK, a looot of milk :) Mikael even drinks milk to dinner. Plus when I make semolina pudding - which is made from semolina and milk, he pours milk over it. When I make porridge, he pours milk over it. So every time you stop by a grocery store, one thing you always buy is MILK :)

Švédi pijú mlieko, veeeeľa mlieka. Mikael pije mlieko dokonca aj k večeri. A keď spravím krupicovú kašu tak si ju zaleje mliekom. Keď ovsenú kašu tak si ju tiež zaleje mliekom. Čiže ak sa zastavíte v obchode, jedna vec, ktorú nesmiete zabudnúť je MLIEKO.
2. Swedes eat only SALTY BUTTER. It is so difficult to buy butter without salt here - you can choose between normal salty or extra salty and if you try hard maybe you will find some without salt, but only maybe.

Švédi jedia iba SLANÉ MASLO. Dá to celkom námahu tu nájst nesolené maslo. Zvyčajne ma človek na výber slané alebo extra slané maslo.
3. ONLY BIG YOGHURT!
no little packages like in Vienna or Slovakia. Here you buy yoghurt in liters.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
malé balenia jogurtov tu nefičia, tu sa kupuje jogurt na litre.
4. TOILETS
I was a bit surprised to see that we have unisex toilets at the university. First it was a bit strange to meet there some men but actually it is only force of habit. Now I think it is a nice idea to have gender-free toilets.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spočiatku boli unisex toalety na uni pre mňa takým malým prekvapením. Ale ono je to všetko iba o sile zvyku a vlastne je to celkom dobrý nápad mať takéto "bezrodové" záchody.
5 RECYCLING
Swedes are masters of recycling. It took me a month (plus Mikael eventually made trash labels for me) to get what everything you can recycle in Sweden. It is always a little excursion when we go out with the garbage. Another interesting thing is that there is a little "door with a slide" next to our door where you throw the "restmüll." If it was not for trash, I would like to slide down and explore where it actually ends - a little bit like Alice in Wonderland.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Švédi recyklujú takmer všetko. Trvalo mi to asi mesiac (plus Mikael spravil ceduľky na koše) naučiť sa čo všetko sa recykluje a kde to mám hádzať. Vždy ked ideme vyhodiť veci na recy, je to taká malá exkurzia. A ďalšia zaujímavá vec je, že vedľa dverí máme malé dvierka so " šmykľavkou" kde hádžeme zvyškový odpad. Keby sa tam nehádzali odpadky, tak by som sa aj rada šmykla a preskúmala kam to vlastne vedie - tak trošku ako Alica z krajiny zázrakov.
SNUS
Not so many people smoke here, but many "snus." Snus are little bags with tobacco you put under your upper lip. Ugh, a bit disgusting.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V Švédsku sa moc nefajčí, ale zato veľa ľudí fičí na "snus" - sú to malé vrecká s tabakom, ktoré si človek vloží pod hornú peru.
There are many other things which Swedes do differently. They drink a lot of coffee, they always smile when it is sunny, they have strange buttons next to the door so that you do not have to open the door physically, clears at the tax agency or immigration office will willingly speak English to you (Viennese people know what I am talking about), they hug when they meet friends (no kissing or handshake), they call professors at the university by their first names etc...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A je toho oveľa viac. Švédi pijú mraky kávy, vždy sa usmievajú, keď svieti slnko, majú čudné tlačidlá pri dverách, ktoré otvárajú dvere, aby si ich človek nemusel otvoriť sám, hovoria anglicky na úradoch (Viedenčania vedia o čom hovorím), objímajú sa namiesto pusy alebo potrasenia rukou a oslovujú profesorov na univerzite krsným menom...atď
