Yes, breifly.

Yes, once I travelled through Lithuania by train.

How much of a swede am I? That's a really funny question actually. In many ways I'm a super-swede, I'm tall, blonde haired and blue eyed, and I have a penchant for stoicism. But, then again, I've not spent more than a couple of days in Sweden at one time since I was two, and I don't have...

I never said that it did.

But, don't you think that those things are related?

yes, yes, I like it.
