Oh come on. For months after I moved here, people still asked me "How is Sweden?"
Cut the girl some slack! :)

About Me
- My Brand New Swiss Life
- Zurich, Switzerland
- After school, most of my female friends moved to New York to have the single-girl-making-her-dreams-come-true-in-the-Big-City experience. Think Devil Wears Prada (working in the magazine or book publishing business). Me...Boston. Now Zurich. It's in Switzerland.

I frequently heard: "Switzerland? Isn't that where they make all the furniture?"
Perhaps the European countries should have planned better and not repeated the letter "S" when naming countries?
Six months??? People still ask me "How's Sweden?" after EIGHT YEARS!!
And if I had a dollar for everytime I heard, "oh, there are a lot of blonds there, right?"...
Yep-- I lived there for 18months and everyone I talked to asked how "the blonds in Sweden" were. I guess we shouldn't be too shocked though considering that 85% of Americans can't find Manhattan on a map and 50% can't correctly identify their home state. Soooo, how can we expect them to know the differnence between Switzerland and Sweden?
