Are You Bored? Phone a Swede!

[Ricardodaforce]

To mark the anniversary of Sweden's abolition of censorship, the Swedish Tourist Association has launched a phone number connecting global callers with random Swedes.

Sweden's new ambassadors don't receive any training and their time is voluntary. They simply download the Swedish Number app, register their number, and signal their availability by switching themselves on or off.

Give it a go! +46771 793 336

I just had a lovely chat with a Swede. She said she's had 30 calls from all over the world.

But they could be female, blond, an au-pair, and naked in a sauna?
