Some time ago I showed you how Estonians celebrate the graudation of high school, or "gymnasium" (same word, spelt differently in places up here). This week I was in Stockholm for a few days and saw how the Swedish* also celebrate this important time in a young persons life… by getting wasted and riding around… Continue reading Cultural Learnings Of… Swedish High School Graduation
