Swedes - Neat freak people?
“Order” is a word commonly connected to German culture. Swedish people are also related to Germanic, especially when it comes to order. Organizing things, placing stuff, keeping it “neat” in their minds.
You know that IKEA have all these funny names on things you can buy? There is a reason for it. We Swedes just love to put names on stuff, especially at home.
Just look here, here and here .
Carl von Linné was the guy that organized flowers to different “racial groups” (which later lead to German people tipping over the boarder and backfired at the jews, but that’s a different story.)
When I look at our website, inside my head, I am crying. Is it because of my background? Are we neat freaks?
