Elise and I were on vacation
Every day we went running
One day I did not feel well
So I stayed home
When she came back
She was disgusted
And a little scared
Ten men had stopped their cars
One after the other
Lowering their windows
To tell her all sort of things
You do not do that in Sweden
Never
Never whistle to women
Never call them names
Never touch them
Looking at a woman's body
Whatever she may be wearing
Is usually not seen as something positive in Sweden
Swedish women are free to wear whatever they wish

"The Swedes" and "Working with Swedes" present many of the social rules in Sweden that may be difficult to discuss
