Korea and Sweden aren't really that different are they? Both are on a peninsula bordered by Russia. They're practically right next to each other!

[–] RedIce25 5 points 5 months ago

It's just one country between North Korea and Norway, both have North associated with their name and lie on each end of Russias border

Looks awesome!

I really don't get how Heineken became such a big brand. It's the shittiest pils I've ever drunk, and I've drunk Cara Pils.

[–] Sylvartas 7 points 5 months ago

I think a big part of that is that it's exactly as shitty as you'd expect everytime. That's some impressive consistency for a beverage that is sold worldwide, and in huge quantities

Glad midsommar! Hade ni något regn med?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Nope, vi hade 32 grader Celsius :D

I was wondering why there was a can of Milkis in between all these extremely Nordic-like dishes LOL

I have to ask, what is it that makes the Heineken Danish? The beer originated in Amsterdam.

Og glædelig midsommer!

Ha, my whole life I thought Heiniken and Carlsberg are basically one company and from Denmark. Turns out I was wrong my whole life.

But they both taste almost identically as far as I remember.

It's interesting that the solstice is considered mid summer in Sweden. In the US I've usually heard that the solstice is the start of summer

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I'd say that the summer months in Sweden are considered to be June, July and August, making Midsummer fall slightly earlier than in the middle of summer. Summer weather lasts for more than that nowadays though, with the weather getting nice in May and lasting a bit into september.

Do I see a bare foot on the table?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Haha, yes you do!

It looks like 4PM outside, what do you mean "dinner"?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Dinner times in Sweden are generally on the early side, with 16:00 not being unheard of in families with small children, and 17:00-18:00 being a common time to have dinner.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

This and in Sweden during Summer the sun doesn't go down, so it looks like it's 19:00 while it beeing 12:00 am.

Having said that, the picture has been taken in South Korea at 18:40.

When do you guys eat dinner when the baby needs to go to bed between 19:00 and 20:00?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Usually we let the baby having his meal first (he is 8 months old), when everything is said and done, we put the baby to sleep. Then we have our dinner in peace or do whatever we want.

That being said, I just thought it's super early outside based on your picture. What you're saying is totally reasonable and I completely agree.
