Geography Question: Is Sweden in Japan?

Tweet

OK. My bad! Shared a post a few weeks back about a 6-hour workday in Sweden. Turns out it was a failed experiment and the Swedes are back to a regular 8-hour workday like the rest of us! To make up for that I found another very interesting fact to share about Sweden. Sort of. Geography was never my favorite subject. But if somebody asked the question "Is Sweden in Japan?" on a game show, I'd get the answer right. YES! I like to collect bits and pieces about cultural diversity: our differences, our similarities, and wonderful examples of when "we blend". This small town in Japan, Sweden Hills, is an admirable example of cultural fusion. OK. Yeah. It's also money-maker and brings in lots of tourists. There's a Midsummer festival in June, Lucia festival in December and some sort of tasting party that revolves around a stinky fish, Surströmming, fermented Baltic herring. But the residents are Japanese and have adapted their lifestyle to Swedish customs and traditions, clothing, etc. I'd be happy to visit such a place on planet earth.
