    15 Things An American Learns About Sweden After Moving There

    After falling in love with a Swedish girl, Greg Poehler uprooted his life in New York and moved to Sweden. Here's what he learned through the culture shock, which he's now retelling on his NBC sitcom Welcome to Sweden.

    1. The language is REALLY hard to learn.

    2. Everyone is beautiful. Everyone.

    3. And nudity is no big deal.

    4. Friendship is largely based around dinner parties.

    5. Light therapy is very necessary during the winter months.

    6. IKEA is a much bigger deal in the U.S.

    7. And don't bother looking for Swedish Fish.

    8. Also mostly nonexistent: celebrity culture.

    9. They are not as universally delighted as we are by Amy Poehler.

    10. But Swedes do at least appreciate the most important musical group of all time: ABBA.

    11. Speaking of celebrities, there are more Skarsgårds that we haven't even met yet.

    12. Swedes mostly watch the same TV programs, often as a family.

    13. Swedes have a different perception of comedy. And, of course, unique cultural references.

    14. In general, Swedes are fond of Americans.

    15. And everybody loves Sweden.
