Feb 19, 2008 - I got this really funny, and probably quite accurate book for Christmas (have I written this before? Dec 14, 2010 - The archive contains every kooky newsletter and piece of hate mail sent by Swedish racists and xenophobes in the last 50 years, and every newspaper clipping about hate crimes and Nazi marches. (And incase you haven't been to Germany you should know that Germans ALWAYS go by the rules. Des von bladet says: June 21, 2010 at 7:51 am. You get snippets mixed in with modern language manuals (usually 30 years out of date) and the Xenophobes guides are usually better than the other ex-pat briefing manuals, but that's (AFAIK) about it.

Oct 13, 2011 - Where the Danes are often cited in Happiness Indexes (which Unistat does not maintain, for rather obvious reasons) as the happiest people or near the top (usually with the Swedes, the Icelanders have slipped lately, due to economics, or so I have heard) the Hungarians? Major déj� vu attack!) called the Xenophobe's guide to the Swedes. Still, almost every day I meet new words or expressions I've never heard before. If there are books like this for France, Sweden or the Netherlands I never came across them, and I did my share of looking.
