I was not that serious about him being Swedish.
In scandinavia we all claim him. Actually
in the very north of sweden they make big

You can stay at the Ice-hotel where everything
is made of ice. They even have a theatre ( modelled
after Shakespeare  but in ice and do concerts with
ice-marimbas and cellos…

It's all Coca Cola & Mc Donalds somewhere behind stuff
where people have to spend money.
