I like it!
Today I'd like to talk about my immense fondness for Sweden. I certainly know that several Italians suffer from this strange illness, which I call "Syndrome of yellow and blue". Yet, I guess I'm a particularly serious case, since I believe I'am the unique inhabitant of South Italy who uses a blue-and-yellow toothbrush, wears a yellow-and-blue watch and sings loudly "Du gamla du fria", when the national Swedish football team play its matches (among other things, this is the sole occasion I watch football matches; by the way, even if I don't like football very much, I am a Goteborg team supporter!).  The Swedish language is a sweet music for my ears, then I relax by listening to the streaming of Radio Sweden while I work at the computer. When I was a little boy, I didn't watch the Looney Tunes, as all other children did, but Pippi and Emil Adventures! Although I live in a very hot and sunny country, I hate both of them from the bottom of my heart! Moreover I'd definitely be comfortable,  if I lay on the North Pole pack... I prefer pinewoods and tundra to deserts and cactuses... I adore polar bears and penguins and Santa Claus is my idol. tell me: am I a hopeless case? Please, solace me!
