Marv, The consumption of lutfisk is dwindling, thank God! I think it's disgusting... But most of that is mostly true, I tried PB&J when I was in Seattle. Not my thing...
Mayhem is right, a Swedish mile is 10 km (about 6 Anglo-Saxon miles)... Takes a couple of hours to walk, if not more, if you spent the cab money on beer... Speaking of which, it's expensive if you don't like stuff as light as American "normal" beer (don't order Pripps Blå, it's as thin as Budweiser...). But Systembolaget (the state owned "off license") is better than you think, the staff know their stuff, and the selection is pretty good at any of their stores.
And, if you ever come here, you must try "Tunnbrödsrulle och en Pucko"! I'll leave to Neo and Saw to explain...
Kjelle (who drinks Swedish coffee almost like the article said, except for before bed...)
