They’re not all 6 foot tall models? Really?

I had imagined that all the women in Sweden would be blond, 6 feet tall, skinny, and gorgeous. They would all look like Elsa Sylvan (yeah, that’s her in the picture). Well, after spending a day at Liseberg amusement park, I’m no longer so worried about getting into my bathing suit.  You know those carnival games where you try to hit a target and win a huge stuffed animal?   Well in Sweden, you don’t win stuffed animals, you win…get this…enormous candy bars! People were carrying around giant Toblerone bars and Sara’s favorite Kex bars, and I thought it was so weird. These ultra-skinny Swedes surely aren’t going to be eating all this chocolate…are they?DSCN2913b

  1. Shes like the fattest woman in Sweden, people of that size here is a huge minority, while in USA and other countries they're quite common if not a majority.
