Fika!

First order of business is fika, which is a Swedish concept meaning “to have coffee”. It’s a good excuse to get out of the office for a walk too. We also had pastries which, according to Wikipedia, are known as “fikabröd”.

Julmarknad

The guys took us along to the Christmas Market, a great place to find cheese, burnt nuts and glögg.

Viking Bar

The place was actually called that. Bring me my mead!

Celebrations in the Office

Jack and Teo sang us some traditional Swedish folk songs.

Julfest

The real reason we came to Stockholm was to attend the teams Christmas party and sing some Swedish drinking songs! Oh, and to eat pickled herring.

A day of exploring

We decided to spend our Saturday exploring the city.

Vasa Museet

Vasa is a Swedish warship built between 1626 and 1628. The ship foundered and sank after sailing about 1,300m into her maiden voyage on 10 August 1628. The ship is in remarkably good condition considering it spent 300 years on the sea floor.
