So, let’s all light big fires and get drunk. I love Sweden. This is one of those Swedish holidays which is kind of funny. It derives from a number of different pagan spring customs (traditioner). It’s also celebrated in other countries like Germany and Estonia for example.<\/p>\n
Students will party hard, with their white student caps. In Uppsala it will be mayhem. I read today that more bicycles will get stolen tonight than any other day during the year….so lock em up.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, of course is May 1….the worker’s day. Kind of funny. I overheard a colleague today say she didn’t celebrate May Day (F\u00f6rsta Maj) because she wasn’t a Socialist….I didn’t know you had to be a socialist to celebrate May Day:-)<\/p>\n
In the newspaper there was also a map of where not to drive. Places were marked where large parades (parad) were going to be held. I think you can support workers even though you’re not a socialist (socialist). So happy May Day.<\/p>\n
