And Swedes especially are very particular about the way you should behave as a dinner guest - many things to keep in mind... 🙂 We generally expect punctuality (I speak for my generation now, born in the 40-50s). We take our shoes off and preferably replace with an extra pair before entering the dining- or livingroom. Within three days afterwards, we call or SMS or e-mail our "thanks for latest" (tack för senast).
I must say I would prefer (like the English do) - and I normally say - 'ish such as 7ish or 8ish in my invitation, it is generous and welcoming.
Originally posted by @apathist Hey, sorry, um. Just talking about a library. Best thing in our world! Roads and plastic are pretty cool too.
Aren't libraries on the downpath with people not erading books so much anymore.
But there is nothing like reading a real book. E-Books don't cut it for me.
The access to information becomes more and more difficult since you have to know what you are looking for in the first place to get good infromation or be prepared to make a long tour into the unknown.

I say dinner at 8. Come as early as you like.
But after 8 is rude.
