Okey. I saw what you wanted to know.

Landmarks:
- The highest mountain in Sweden i called Kebnekaise, 2 111 m.
- Stockholm is the capital, the city has 1,8 million inhabitants (if you count the suburbs. 762 000 without the suburbs). Other big cities are Gothenburg and Malmö.
- The largest lake is called Vänern, it's 5 585 km2.

Food:
- Meatballs with cream sauce and preserved lingonberrys must be the most famous swedish course.
- We also have something called 'Surströmming'. It's like rotten fish. Or at least it smells rotten. But people who like it says it's the most delicious thing there is
- At christmas we eat "Julbord" (Christmas table). It's a buffé with dishes like christmas ham, meatballs, small sausages called "prince sausages", herring pickled in different sauces, a gratin containing potaoes and tinned sprats cured in brine (hahaha, that's what my lexicon called ansjovis) and lots of other things. We usually eat those kind of things during easter and Midsummer's Eve. But then it's called "Påskbord" (Easter table) and uhm... I don't think it's called anything at Midsummer's Eve.

I hope that helped a bit. Just shout if you need more information.

There's a thing in my region of the US called lefsa that could be compared to rotten fish... many Norwegians and Scandinavians cook it outdoors.. I feel like puking already.
