Some background etc.
The Culture Apostle David Curle has since 1995 built up and maintained the gorgeous site
kulturCHOCK!. For several reasons he has decided .... as to say enough is enough. But
I thought it was a shame that such a cultural achievement should be concealed and not be
reached by the mankind. Therefore, below it is as it was .... but without pictures and other
showy decoration ... just plain grey and black.
REMARK: The pages will not be updated and the external links could be obsolete,
changed or unreachable. Thus, no meaning to write to David or me for submissions.
View the kulturCHOCK!-pages as a fabulous Historical Document !
Have an enjoyable journey

----------------------------------------------
kulturCHOCK!
is an electronic newsletter devoted to the Swede or American with one foot in the
old country, one foot in the new. We help students, guest workers, and expatriate
wives, husbands, and sambos understand, adjust to, and appreciate the oddities
of their second home.
Our goal: to unlock the day-to-day secrets of the two countries. Not art, culture,
traditions, scenery, but rather the important topics, such as: Where can you get
Kalles Kaviar in California? Why is American cheese orange? Should I or should I
not take off my shoes at this party? Brännboll: the Swedish sport that's
like softball, but without any rules.
