    That is interesting that they just throw English into the ad like that. I assume from that almost everyone in Sweden understand at least some English. Just like they do in Amsterdam (if not the Netherlands).
    Yes. "Everyone" knows english here. And that would be the same for most of northern europe, and somewhat younger persons. The countries struggling a bit would be the ones that still dub all movies I would think.

    The Singaporeans are fun. They often speak "Singlish", as they call it. I had a few good friends from Singapore in university, and when they spoke to each other they sometimes spoke this really cool mish-mash of English and Mandarin and Malay.
    Well you guys speak a weird mish-mash of English and Swedish with your "smorgpsboard" and "ombudsman" etc.
    Well that's not a mish mash, lol. Those are established English words that reside in English dictionaries. They were just adopted from another language. Isn't that how much languages develop? I mean, English is part of the Indo-European language family, and so is Swedish.

    I was scuppered in Sweden and Norway with the drink situation. Blew my mind as I'm English and obvs drink too much. And the price. We stayed out all night in Stockholm. Last tour it was light most of the night anyway. But I got a bottle of wine from the hotel next to the venue £50. !!!!I asked my friend . Oh grab a bottle of wine whilst back at your hotel
     He came back and said fifty quid mate. Holy shit. I drank it slow

    Isn't buying alcohol from a hotel expensive in every country? even though yes, we have a bit higher alcohol tax than our southern neighbours. 

    I will see what a bottle of wine goes for at the normal "pub" here if I drink out tonight.

    I get a glass with half a litre beer (I guess that would be a "pint"?) where i drink for maybe 45SEK (£3,77 . $4,87)

    But yes, Oslo is damn expensive. Even for us Swedes. But at the same time - I guess they have cheaper and more expensive places like here and in London. But when I went out in Oslo, I could barely accept the prices for a beer. Haha.

    I think when I went it was around £8 for a pint.  I think half litre is under a pint. But yeah Oslo . Oh my. A sandwich and coke and crisps was about £12 I nearly fainted.

    That is good. Cheaper than here. Wow. Those systembolaget places were intresting to me . Having only one set place to buy drink and specific hours. But thats what i live about travelling to  see pj. I truely have experienced so much I can't even remember in many places. I'm very grateful. I live in a village and to see so many places and cultures has been the highlight of my life.

    Alcohol is expensive most places in Canada.  The last time I was in a bar, about 4 years ago...a bottle of coors light was 7 Canadian.

    It is some vodka? It does not exist in any Systembolaget stores so I would say it is not common here. Seems to be made in Sweden though. Made for the international market with the "swedish" thing as a sales argument is my guess then (?)-

    Absolut Vodka is very common.
