Lucia at the embassy

Lucia at the embassy

Yesterday was the Swedish Lucia festival. I went down to the embassy
to watch the students from the Swedish school sing some songs, eat
"lussekatter" (yellow bun with saffron) and "pepparkakor" (ginger
cookies), and drink glogg (a hot, sweet drink).

I mingled with the other expats, expat's wives, students, students'
Chinese girlfriends, and Chinese studying Swedish. It's quite a mix of
people coming to these events and I've got a feeling that most of them
know each other. I'm starting to recognize quite a few of them too.
