You know you're Chinese when...
1. You've eaten a red bean Popsicle
2. You bring oranges (or other produce) with you as a gift when you visit people's homes
3. You live with your parents and you are 30 years old (and they prefer it that way). Or if you're married and 30 years old, you live in the apartment next door to your parents, or at least in the same neighborhood.
4. You don't use measuring cups.
5. You beat eggs with chopsticks.
6. You prefer your shrimp with the heads and legs still attached -- it means they're fresh.
7. Your parents are never happy with your grades.
8. You suck on fish heads and fish fins.
9. You've never seen your parents hug.
10. You say "aiya!" and "wah!" frequently.
11. You notice the main topic at family get-togethers is food.
12. You use doilies to decorate your furniture.

You're Swedish if...
1. You love complaining about Sweden when you are there and state "it's much better in Sweden" when you are abroad.
2. You claim that you are not a royalist but actually do care what "she" will wear on the Nobel Price dinner.
3. Whenever discussing international problems you always, without exception state that "why don't you do it like we do it in Sweden?"
4. You know that Sweden never actually will win the World Cup in Football, but keep partying anyway.
5. When you don't really consider silence a problem in social situations.
6. When you find people from other cultures generally being rather loud. With the exception of the Finish.
7. You like things in general to be "lagom" (it's a mix of enough, sufficient, adequate, appropriate).
8. You have a tendency to make Swedish verbs out of English nouns, and do not consider it slang or gramatically incorrect.
9. You've never seen a starbucks.
10. You find it normal to have to go to a special store that is owned by the government, that's only open during daytime to buy a bottle of wine, or other alcoholic beverages.
11. After having realized that someone is standing on your foot in the subway, you think that the best idea is to not say anything at all or maybe cough or nod a little in order to attract the attention of the person standing on your foot.
12. You happily engage in a conversation about the weather.
13. YOU WOULD NEVER EVER ADMIT TO ANYTHING ON THIS LIST.
14. (But you realise that everything is so true as well...)
