I moved from Sweden to Korea almost four years ago. Today is midsummer in Sweden. I bought the things I could get here to make some food so we could celebrate it.

We listened to Swedish music and danced, etc. It was a lot of fun.

  • Salmon
  • Toast Skagen
  • fresh potatoes
  • Danish beer
  • Sommersby cider
  • Absolut Vodka
  • strawberries with whipped cream

But those are the days where you miss your old friends the most.

Anyway, happy midsummer everyone!

Happy midsummer!

I visited Sweden years ago. On the trip I was invited to join a family's midsummer party. It was lots of fun!

I hope I can go back some day. It's a fantastic country.

Happy midsummer to you too. Though for me it's the beginning of Summer, as shown by the annual local motivationals.

If your were in Sweden how would you have celebrated? Is it a day of picnics in parks, concerts and parties, daytime or nighttime celebrations?

Probably picknick by the beach and dancing around the maypole with the kids^^
