Default Life in Sweden

Hey, is there a rule against sharing some of the non-game development slice of life here?

I hope not! Maybe you will find this interesting (if not, I apologize, skip this thread). There will continue to be game news and updates in the other threads.

I have been a poor foreigner living in Stockholm for three weeks now. I like this city very much, but I miss my motorcycle. To go places by bus is time-consuming. I have a bicycle now and maybe I can use that...but if I end up in Finland, please steer me back to Sweden.

Highlights of this trip:

I got to have some tacos with Subsim member Vendor


Here's where I am renting a house for the trip, Hasselby


Stockholm Computer Science Building, where the dev's studio is


Down by a river, somewhere in the city


I found a motorcycle but I could not get it started. I think it needs fuel.....


Last night I was invited to a Peruvian pachamanca, which is an old way of cooking by building a fire, heating some bricks to a high temperature, then removing the fire and placing the meat and vegetables (corn, potatoes, yams, and beans) on the bricks. Then they cover everything with banana leafs (or in Sweden some other grass), and dirt.


About 45 minutes later everything is uncovered....


...and the feasting begins!


Some interesting architecture, but I'm not convinced someone got a measurement wrong somewhere....
