When living abroad for a longer time it is impossible not to notice many strange things, which are sometimes really difficult to be described.

Now on the queue is Storkolm or Stockholm, which is probably the biggest city in Sweden, but nobody really knows. Over the years, it has garnered a reputation for its edibility, and the most famous kebab district.

Quite strange was how Swedish people celebrated their National day on 6th of June. Of course this holiday was celebrated only by Central part of Sweden, since those from North part consider themselves as part Antarctica and those from South consider themselves as part of Greenland. The first thing you notice during a national holiday in Sweden is the Americanized style of celebrating and the immense amount of flags with the similar colours of the Ukrainian flag.

I though Sweden is really a cold country with could people who don’t know how to celebrate an event and stay at home during the National holiday and watch some ABBA clips - wrong, very wrong. They really know how to celebrate their independence and it seems that their laws are not so rigorous:

Since it was very hot outside some sweet Swedes went to the woods to solve some family duties far away from paparazzi lenses, but of course they didn’t forget about the most important thing (Swedish flag):

Some of them decided for a romantic dinner or just went out for a beer with best friends :lol: :

…or just for a glass of selected wine :roll: : (please notice the Lidl shopping bag - again celebrating in the spirit of national colours)

Anyway it was a lovely day and even bears around enjoyed it:
