    do not mention any modern technology such as cars, computers, telephones, etc. as they do not know that exists in sweden and you should allow them to preserve their primitive traditions.

    But seriously. Go for Gothenburg or Stockholm. All else is shit if you don't know enough people to entertain yourself.
    Swedes are a bit superior, since it is after all better to be a modest Swede than... Anything else. Not that they will admit to this, being modest. Keep this in mind.
    Don't the land of Free Sex either. Since it really isn't. That Swedes are frivolous is mostly a baseless rumour, that started in, among other things, sex ed in the schools during the 60's.

    You should defietly check out the wonderful town Rosegarden (Rosengård in Swedish), book your stay there in advance to be certain that you can stay there. Swedes love it when you are forward and expressive, if you are this way with strangers then they might seem a little shy at first, IGNORE THIS, it's just their modesty getting in the way, fix this by being even more forward, physical contact is a good ice breaker.

    Bring gifts of local variety, locally produced (non-perishable) foods or memorabilia.

    OP here. I'll be staying in or around Stockholm, if not Gothenburg. Or Malmo. One of the big three. The reason I'm doing this for the whole summer is because i have nothing else to do, and I would rather be out and experience different cultures rather than sit around all day.

    I was thinking I'll give them something goo and local in my town as someone said. Or alcohol. Or both.

    Not OP here, but I've heard that going to grad school at Stockholm is free tuition or something, can anyone confirm? Sounds very exciting, especially the high cost of living.

    Lol at Swedish culture, you don't need a summer for that. However, to get to know a bunch of absolutely amazing Swedes, sure you could enjoy the entire summer.

    Yep, and no wonder, Sweden (and especially southern Sweden) is quickly becoming full of imigrants (mostly from the middle east) that commit murder, gang-rape, robbery etc. They refuse to assimilate to our country, and if you point that out you're pointed out as a rascist. So my advice is, if you're going to Sweden, to live in Stockholm or Örebro.

    did homestay through peace corps. cultural differences aside (you signed up for a homestay, and you are obviously going to experience some big cultural differences), bigger problems arise from personalities...it's just like if you moved in with a random family in the states, really. i lived with that family, and wanted to kill them after three months. but i also wouldn't want to live with my mother or father for three months. dig?

    Seriously do NOT go to Malmö, its like a zoo.
    Go to Stockholm or Gothenburg, there's more old stuff in Stockholm i guess like Palaces and museums and stuff though.

    You can expect too find the Swedes on a different level of laid back and liberal on everything exept drugs. (Selling drugs is worse that rape and child pornography combined here)

    Also if sex is the dinner then abortion is the dessert.(and we do like dessert)

    While in Sweden you will probably be bombarded with meatballs and fermented fish (which they will describe to you as Swedish sushi) from every new family you stay at, yes we are indeed proud of our meatballs >_> .

    And last but not least (like any thread about Sweden), do NOT bring up religion in any conversation if not asked about it. Talking about religion when not in a church is the usually same as ending the conversation its rude and the whole situation will be very awkward, you will be labeled as some kind of crazy person up there with the unspeakable Jehovas and Scientologists

    P.S. Dont go to Malmö (pic extreamely related) D.S.

    This man speaks the truth, sadly. For some reason swedes are ok with their children dating anyone (which they should be) but they are very afraid of drugs.
