Comments on Danwei TV 5: Sweden Has Landed
These get better and better!
How about giving the mic a small hat? I think it's needed.
Comments again on Danwei? Since when? Excellent idea.
What about Italian Meatballs?!
Nice!
It felt a little like a weird Ikea commercial in parts, but great closing.
John,
Well, I have worked for IKEA in my day job. So perhaps I see the company from a, shall we say, positive angle. And I know a lot of Scandinavians.
But it's not a lie: Swedes are cool.

Jeremy,
i don't know why it's so slow to open this page, while opening pages of other sites is very quick.
btw, ikea coffee is very good, even better than those branded ones in shanghai.
She was speaking Swedish? Sounded like Klingon.
Where is Jeremy from? I can't quite place his accent.
Thanks for watching Senator K. I am from South Africa, but have lived most of my adult life in China.
Marie was indeed speaking Swedish.
Good job, Jeremy!
I can't wait to sprawl out on an IKEA couch and munch on Swedish salmon, for a change. Was Luke on cam? You both should do these things more often.
Cuban greetings
Hi Jeremy,
I have been reading the site regularly. Stories are very informative. Living abroad in the UK as a Chinese and working in the marketing industry bewteen the 2 countries Danwei is a great window to keep me up to date with China and from a Western/Chinese angle. The introduction of the Danwei TV is fantastic, interesting to show my English friends. I assume the new stories are coming out on a daily basis?! I wonder if you are considering of a newsletter format?
