Swedish National Day

6th of June is the National Day in Sweden. This year is the first year that this day was a public holiday. No one makes much fuss about the Swedish national day. That is something I'm quite proud of.

The Swedish embassy had a reception in the backyard. Since we were all dressed up coming from the Belgian embassy, the party just continued. Actually, I had had the runs the day before and not eaten for almost two days, so it wasn't much of a party for me. It is fun though that I know more and more people each time I come to the embassy. The foreign and particularly the Swedish community here is not that large.
