Valborg 2011 in Stockholm
29, Apr 2011Valborg is the time of the year to banish the witches away and burn fires. Since the witches made it back from Blåkulla, April 30th is the day to really get rid of them once and welcome spring. Around Sweden and the Nordic region, people celebrate by having a champagne brunch, drink beer, eat food, [...]
Shoe shopping in Sweden
20, Jan 2011I enjoy shopping; like any woman. And not to brag, I am an awesome sale shopper. It’s my sixth sense; I know when, how, where sales are going to happen. I rarely buy at full price unless in desperate need (the one beautiful Burberry English Military jacket) but otherwise my prices are modest. Yes, you [...]
Yesterday a suicide bomber blew himself up on Drottningatan at the end of the shopping day in central Stockholm city. In what appears to be a terrorist attack, this marks the first terrorist attack in Stockholm in decades. Little information has been released except a letter sent minutes before the attack warning Sweden of its [...]
November Events in Stockholm: India/Indien
18, Nov 2010It’s November. Time for the depressing month of the year when we lose more than 5 minutes of daylight each day. Despite the sun running away from, color (and culture) is coming to us for next couple months. October began the India/Indien exhibition at Kulturhuset. Throughout Stockholm, clubs, theaters, movie theaters, stores are playing, displaying, [...]
Stockholm’s Tunnelbanan #FAIL
7, Oct 2010This was just too funny not to post… My fiance caught this on his camera last week at the Slussen tunnelbanan station. The conductor of the train forgot the mail case was still outside the train when it started moving. Metro, door, FAIL. At least the driver stopped after 20 meters and reopened the doors. [...]

Visit Stockholm on the Cheap: The Stockholm Card
23, Jul 2010Stockholm. It is the Venice of the North. The City Hall, Stadshuset, is model after Venice’s famous Campanile square. Swedes do love their country on the water and visiting in the summer is the best way than to take advantage of the weather, midnight sun, and countless lakes and islands. Because my mom is visiting, [...]
Swedish Fashion 2010: The Horror Continues
12, Jul 2010It wasn’t enough that I had to spend 2008 and 2009 in a fashion black hole when it came to Swedes’ sensibility on the catwalk. Now that it’s summer again, I am faced with the fashion horror everywhere I walk. The 80s fashion look is back in full force but in a different way. The [...]
Stockholm is not a cheap city to visit on a budget. It’s almost an irony to say “Stockholm on a budget” because well, it can involve kebabs, pizza, and really disgustingly cheap stor stark beer or lättöl (light alcohol content beers). Alas, there is some relief during the summertime in Stockholm. Many museums have free [...]
“Why do Swedish doors open outwards?” “Why is the Swedish flag blue and yellow?” “Why do Swedish men give the look?” “Why can’t Sweden make a decent loaf of bread?” “Does Kalles Kaviar break Geneva convention rules?” Thanks to Dano for the inspiration, we need a thread not related to Swedish dating or why cigarette [...]
