Gunilla Allard : I think we have a lot of things in common. We have spring, summer, fall, winter. We have similar nature. We are able to understand each other. Also, how we behave, like how we respect others, is similar. I think we have similar traditions. When you compare Japan and Scandinavia, there is a similarity even in architecture. If you see an old church from Norway, it is very similar to traditional Japanese buildings. Japan has the tradition of using a lot of wood too. Japanese people think that Sweden is exotic. We are small country, but we have Volvo, Ericsson, and many other international figures in many sectors.
