For all intents and purposes, the only swedish thing about me is my mother tongue and having a few friends there (and to be honest, these days I'm more comfortable communicating in english than I am in swedish - my swedish vocabulary weakens by the day). Going by cultural identities, I am first and foremost a Londoner.
