> [@Cerealbox](#): > > Also, don’t be afraid to say hateful things about the Danish (something like “my Swedish is so bad, it’s Danish”), but especially the Fins … Swedes generally have nothing against Finns. If anything it’s the opposite (and Finns take a delight in claiming that all Swedes are homosexuals). ---

Can I see some photos of this guest house? I too would like to consider staying in this lodging… j/k about the second part, but I’d love to see what the man cave looks like. ---

Well, he loved his accomadations. He was able to go outside and make bows and arrows while he visited. He listens to folk music, speaks English better than I do. ( working on his 3rd doctorate). Loves mexican food and subway. We had a great time. ``` I have known him from the internet for over 10 years but pictured him much bigger for some reason, he is my height at 5" 7". ``` ---

Wait, your friend is visiting from Sweden and you took him to _Subway_ to eat? That’s just sad. ---

Sorry. I was just kidding. I just figure that there must be much better, local food for your friend to try. ---

All Swedes are enthusiastic nudists. If you want him to feel at home, walk around the house naked. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/guest-comming-from-sweden/677573.md?page=1)
