En Glass

Swedish people seem to like ice cream a lot. My little sister would like that cause she likes ice cream a lot...so does my mom. I am indifferent toward ice cream. Its nice from time to time, but it would not cross my mind to get some. I once had a friend say to me in college, "And you know what else is wrong with you!!! You don't eat ice cream!"

Swedish people seem to be constantly with ice cream in hand when I walk around the city. There are little cafes, ice cream cafes really, that are overflowing with people. I think this is part of the whole "worship the summer" thing, which I am supportive of generally.

I still have not had ice cream and I probably won't, but I am happy everybody else is having ice cream around me...it adds to the general blissfulness of summer in Stockholm. There was also big newspaper article about what kind of ice cream Swedish people like best...they interviewed Swedes from around the country...what won? Vanilla, and chocolate was second...well, nobody ever said that Sweden was exciting, but its a solid nice :)
