Life's Enjoyments

In the club when rap music starts playing instead of house

When I ordered a bourbon in Gamla Stan

When strangers on the street never make eye contact as they pass

When Swedes ask how public transportation works in my hometown

No matter what time of year it is, its always accurate to say...

When my bank's website isn't translated to english

When you actually spot a police car in Stockholm

What a Swede is thinking when people start talking too loud on the bus

When you successfully order food in perfect Swedish for the first time

Trying to find my way around IKEA

When folks back home ask how I feel about the Swedish winters

When Swedes tell you its weird to talk to people you dont know

When light comes through the curtains at 2 a.m. during summer

Swedes when a stranger tries to talk to them in public
