Wannabe Swedos and Stekare

Wanna become a Swedo or a Stockholm Stekare like these squirrels 😉 ?

Easy question, easy answer. Get a GANT pink T-shirt :).

A snapshot with wannabe Swedos and Stekares standing in queue for half a day before the GANT factory sales start:

I don’t know what this CANT brand is all about, but wannabe Swedos & Stekares are definitely crazy about shopping, discounts, standing in the queue for long hours under -12 degrees centigrade in order to get any single crap with CANT logo. Yes, it is all about the logo and not about the country of provenience, quality or other good stuff you may find at the high quality brands like Ionel ©. I saw the Made in Sweden statement only on the IKEA shopping bags, which were used by the wannabe Stekare to buy as much CANT rubbish as possible.

Last but not least, the badge

Nice add, but wrong car 😉 :

All Saints’ Day

Skogskyrkogården (translated as The Woodland Cemetery) is a cemetery located in Stockholm.
Skogskyrkogården came about following an international competition in 1915 for the design of a new cemetery in Stockholm. The design of the young architects Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz was selected. Work began in 1917 on land that had been old gravel quarries that were overgrown with pine trees and was completed three years later. The architects’ use of the natural landscape created an extraordinary environment of tranquil beauty that had a profound influence on cemetery design throughout the world.

In 1994, Skogskyrkogården was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
