Vad är det?

The game is a little different this week. It is pretty obvious what this is, so I'm starting a contest instead. Guess the following:
1. birthdate (due date is Nov. 15)
2. gender
3. name (first and middle)
4. weight (in kilos!!)
5. length (in cm)
Anyone who gets them all correct will get some money to start your own psychic hotline. Good luck!

For those who need a little help deciphering the image, our little yoga master is on his/her noggin, spine curving around to the right, bum up with legs stretched out overhead. I think s/he definitely has mamma's feet!

Answer to last week: That was a light at the end of the train tracks at Central Station.

Answer to last week: Once again dad, you are right; and once again you are a CHEATER! You are banned from guessing this week! Here is a shot of entire biggest cigar in the world at the Cigar and Match Museum in the Skansen Park in Stockholm:

Hangin' around

This weekend was the annual STCC City Race (Swedish Touring Car Championship) and this group had a unique way to watch the race. Seems like an expensive way to get out of buying tickets.

Ice Cream Challenge

I must say, Swedes do a lot of things very well, but I've been disappointed with Swedish ice cream. The ice cream itself is fine, but they don't tend to have a lot of chunks, like chocolate chips, nuts, candy pieces etc..., which is the best part. In Stockholm, they happen to have a Ben & Jerry's store right across the street from a Swedish ice cream store and the difference was striking. Now I know other people agree with me!

Sia glass=no ice cream customers:

Ben & Jerry's=jam packed:

Leo and I had considered opening a hot dog stand as a plan B, but now I'm thinking a Ben & Jerry's franchise here in Gothenburg might just be the ticket.
