More things that are different in Sweden

A while back I posted a list a friend found on the internet of things that are different in Sweden.

Here are a few of my own observations:

1. No water fountains. Anywhere.
2. You have to deposit 5 crowns (40 cents) to get a grocery cart
3. The game show 'Jeopardy' is pronounced 'Yepardy'
4. Legal highway speeds fluctuate based on weather conditions
5. Few overweight people, virtually no morbidly obese.
6. About 1/5 of TV programs are from the US and have Swedish subtitles.
7. A combination of beautiful old windmills, no longer in use, and weird looking new ones.
