🔴 Summer beer may be now illegal?

Just as the sun comes out and the outdoor terraces start filling up - here comes the buzzkill ☀️🍻

A recent court ruling is now being used to block alcohol licenses for places with only outdoor seating. No indoor area? No booze.

It all started with one case in Karlstad - and now some municipalities, like Stockholm, are saying it’s the law.
Restaurateurs and legal experts are pushing back hard.
 They say the law was never meant to exclude open-air venues - and that the courts are reading it way too narrowly.

Meanwhile, seasonal bars are left waiting… and hoping someone rewrites the rules before summer slips away.

Thank you, Sweden 🇸🇪, for being so welcoming ❤️

It’s been 4 years since we’ve collected keys to our first Swedish apartment.

We’ve lived in Markaryd, Malmö and Göteborg.

Was it always perfect?
No. Definitely not.

But it feels like home. And knowing that, we can do everything 🥹

💶 The krona might not be forever
 Sweden’s PM says the euro is not off the table - and welcomes a serious national debate.

No official steps are being taken (yet), but with global markets shaking, the timing suddenly feels… less hypothetical.

🇸🇪 Meanwhile, SD fired back immediately: “We’re keeping the krona.”

So will Sweden move closer to Brussels - or hold tight to its currency and control?

This time, it’s not just an economic question.
 It’s about identity, trust, and who gets to call the shots.

🎉 Welcome to “Guess the Idiom” - your new Monday challenge! 🎉

Each week, I’m sharing an AI-generated image (thanks to Sora!) that creatively interprets a popular Swedish idiom. Your mission? To guess which idiom the image represents and share your answer in the comments below! 🙌💡

✨ Here’s how the game works:
1️⃣ Every Monday, a new image will be posted - each one is an artistic representation of a Swedish idiom.
2️⃣ Look carefully at the image and think about which Swedish saying it might represent.
3️⃣ Drop your guess in the comments below! Don’t worry if you’re unsure - everyone’s welcome to join the fun!
4️⃣ IMPORTANT: If you don’t want to spoil the answer for yourself, avoid scrolling to the bottom of the post!

That’s where you’ll find the answer, along with both the literal and actual English translation of the idiom. So if you’re playing for fun and want the challenge, make sure to resist that temptation! 😆

I’ll be posting a new idiom every Monday, so keep an eye out and test your knowledge of Swedish expressions each week. It’s all about having fun, learning a bit of Swedish culture, and maybe even impressing your friends with your idiom knowledge! 💭✨

Let’s see who can get it right first! Good luck, and have fun! 🎯

skita i det blå skåpet - translates literally to “to shit in the blue cupboard.” Figuratively, it means to make a serious blunder or go too far in one’s actions.

🌞 A sunny spring Sunday in Gothenburg + 17 corgis = probably the most joyful chaos we’ve seen in a while 🐶💛
 We joined a Corgiträff (corgi meet-up) in Slottskogen with our boy Roco - he’s been with us since August, just turned one, and although he lives with another dog, we could tell he missed being around other pups.

When we spotted the event in a Swedish corgi Facebook group, we packed some treats, grabbed the leash, and off we went.
 And wow - so many adorable short legs in one place! There were over 17 corgis running, sniffing, rolling in the grass, and making friends 🐾

They say kids and dogs are the best way to make friends as an immigrant in Sweden - and honestly, that’s exactly what happened.
 We chatted with other dog owners (in Swedish, English, and everything in between), made real connections, and even set up future dog playdates and board game nights.

Roco was shy at first - overwhelmed by the fluff party - but he slowly opened up and ended up bonding with two lovely ladies from our new friend group. 💕
 He came home dirty, tired, and the happiest he’s ever been.

📍Have you ever been to Slottskogen’s dog park? 🐕‍🦺 Are you a dog parent in Sweden? 🤝 And for fellow immigrants - have dogs helped you build a social life here?
👇 Share your story - I’d love to hear it.

✨Come vinyl hunting with me at Record Store Day in Gothenburg 🎶
 We stood in a queue longer than the Swedish winter - but totally worth it!
 Spoiler alert: we almost missed our dream record... but then Swedish politeness saved the day 🫣💿
Also: I bought memma for the first time and still don’t know if I should try it with milk or coffee cream. Help a girl out? 😅
 And tell me: 🎧 Do you collect vinyls? 🎯 What did you get this RSD? 📍And have you been to Bengans?

🧙🌸 Watch till the end for Wicked Movie Soundtrack RSD unboxing ❤️

🚨 Gothenburg’s most iconic swimming hall might be demolished.

Saying locals are furious may be an understatement.

Valhallabadet isn’t just a pool.
 It’s Olympic-designed, nearly 70 years old, and covered in original mosaic art made from Kosta glass. 
But the city wants to knock it down - to make room for a massive new event district with arenas, hotels, and shopping 💰🏗️

Estimated cost? 14.6 billion SEK
 Locals? Ready to stand in front of bulldozers. Literally.

So what do you protect when your city wants to modernize? Heritage - or hype?

👋 Hello, I’m Karolina!

I’m creator of LikeSweden - place where I share all things Swedish:
✅ memes;
✅ news;
✅ the best and most beautiful spots;
✅ amazing attractions;
✅ practical information.
+ some highlights from my personal life and travels.

I’ve moved to Sweden in 2021 but visited for the first time back in 2012. It was love at first sight, since then I’ve been a frequent visitor. I felt like home in Sweden long before I became actual resident.

I’ve been a content creator since 2011.
Since 2019 I’ve been entrepreneur for a living.
PikusIT (now Pikus Media AB) is creative studio run by me and my husband where we create:
👉 branding;
👉 web design;
👉 social media & ads;
👉 photo & video content for brands (and doing videos for PlayStation Nordic is our ultimate pride).

It’s nice to meet you! Take a moment, say hi and tell me, how did your story with Sweden start 💙
