Quarter Three Blog #8 - Culture

I am 25% Swedish, so I decided that I would write about Swedish culture for this blog. A typical Swedish meal consists of boiled potatoes, meat or fish, a sauce, and some kind of vegetable. Swedes are very heavy coffee drinkers, second to Finland who takes first. Cider is also a staple at mealtime, the cider is sweet and fruity and is drunken almost as much as beer is. Most Swedish art is found in churches, and relates to religion. Focused on the devil, Jesus Christ, and the Virgin Mary. As far as fashion is concerned, the famous store Hennes & Maurtiz (H&M) is headquartered their. Singing is very popular in Sweden, as of its 9,000,000 people 600,000 are members of a choir. Swedes enjoy many genres of music, and famous musicians such as Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, and Bon Jovi have produced music in Sweden.
