I cant imagine what else you are supposed to bring to Sweden. U do know that we are an industrial-country and got all the stuff that any civilized country, as United states, has. Only thing is that our electrical appliances runs on 240 volts instead of your 120 volts, so some kind of converter maybe would be necessary. Hop U will enjoy our fine country. BTW, where in Sweden will U stay?

by the way, bring lots of CDs! they don't play any trance/dance music on the Radio/TV

In the US they used to have 110 and in EU 220, with exception of the UK that has 250.
To bring the world-wide voltages closer to eachother they did:
UK: 250 > 240
EU: 220 > 230 > 240
US: 110 > 120
This happened during the past years, most new equipment has allready been adjusted. If you look at the labels it says 220~250V (for. ex. on your mobilephone charger).
The output of the wallsocket should be 240V Europe-wide.
