Congratulations you are fully, 100 percent Swedish!
You have become one with your adopted country (at least so far as summer holidays are concerned).
You are a summer newby. Try again next year!
You have failed to take some of the first steps to embracing the summer, Swedish style, and are basically just one up from a tourist.
Halfway! Your holiday habits are semi-Swedish.
You are already doing summery things that would be unusual in most other countries.
How many weeks did you take off work?
Did you swim in a lake or off an island in the evening?
Did you visit a 'loppis' flea market, ideally in a small village?
Did you pick blueberries, blackberries, cloudberries, or lingonberries?
Did you sit outside with a blanket on a freezing cold summer's evening?
Did you have a short 'road trip' to visit a friend or friends in their summer houses?
Did you leave Sweden and spend a week or more somewhere really sunny?
Did you use an outdoor toilet or 'utedass'?
Did you barbecue 'varmkorv' sausages?
Did you eat at least one ice cream a day?
