Ranking Swedish fika pastries… and yes, I might offend some people with this 😭🇸🇪

Some choices felt right.
Some… I already regret.
But I’m ready to live with that 😂

I’m curious now: how would YOU rank them? 👀

👇 Literal translation below 🫶

You move to Sweden, you try to embrace the culture, you buy a cute little wooden horse, and you vibe to a bouncy, upbeat summer pop song... and then you make the mistake of actually translating the lyrics.

This absolute masterpiece of a song (🎵 Rid mig som en dalahäst) is such a cultural staple right now that it has countless versions, remixes, and covers constantly blasting from the speakers of every EPA-tractor in the country.

In the video, I’m doing a singable English version, but for those of you studying the language, here is the pure, unfiltered (but slightly censored) literal translation:

Tell me sl*t/wh*re, who is it that drinks the most?
I can see that you want me
Dalecarlian-dialect girls, they are always the best
Ride me like a Dala horse
Tell me f*ckboy, who is it that plays the most?
Because I can see how you want me
Raggare, yes they are always the best
Riding you like a Dala horse

And because surviving in Sweden means constantly updating your cultural vocabulary, here is today’s homework:

🐎 Dalahäst (Dala horse): The famous, innocent, hand-painted wooden horse from the Dalarna region. And yes, they just turned Sweden’s most wholesome souvenir into a wildly inappropriate joke.

🗣️ Dalmål-brudar: Girls speaking the dialect from Dalarna. Dalarna is the heart of Swedish tradition, but simultaneously the undisputed capital of wild tailgate car parties.

🤬 Luder: Literally translates to sl*t or wh*re. Used here not as an insult, but as a very chaotic, aggressive party greeting between the two sides.

🚗 Raggare: The iconic Swedish subculture of greaser/country boys who drive loud, vintage cars and blast this exact type of music (EPA-dunk) until the windows rattle.

Honestly, the sheer disrespect to the Dala horse is kind of iconic 💅

🚌 A 14-year-old from Norway allegedly stole a bus and drove it all the way to Stenungsund in Sweden.

Police say the bus was taken during the night near Oslo and later found across the border in Sweden. The boy was stopped in Stenungsund and reported for unlawful driving.

And according to Norwegian media, this may not even have been the first time.

He is reportedly the same teenager suspected of stealing another city bus in Stavanger back in November. That case was later dropped because of his age.

Now Norwegian police are handling the latest incident and have taken him back home.

👩‍🍼Couples in Sweden could soon get double the number of publicly funded IVF attempts.

The government’s spring budget includes 327 million kronor to expand IVF access, increasing the number of funded treatments from 3 to 6 for couples trying to have their first child.

And that’s a big deal.
One IVF treatment can cost up to 50,000 kronor, so extra funded attempts could remove a huge financial barrier for many families.

But IVF isn’t the only focus.
🏥 250 million kronor will go to strengthen staffing in healthcare before summer
💉 112 million kronor will go to vaccinations for older people, mainly pneumococcal shots for those 65+

The goal?
More support for families trying to have children and a stronger healthcare system ahead of summer and autumn.

🍺 Sweden might change a rule that’s been strict for years

Right now, you can’t take your drink outside a defined outdoor seating area.
Now politicians want to remove that limit and make cities more like Copenhagen or Paris

👉 Supporters say:
more freedom
more jobs
more vibrant city life

🚫 Critics warn:
higher risk of violence
less control
safety concerns

The decision isn’t final yet but the debate is already heating up
What would you prefer in Sweden 👀

Czech food has a very special place in my heart… and honestly, I miss it A LOT in Sweden 🥹🇨🇿🇸🇪

So the second I got to Poland, I did what had to be done.
📍 Cesky Port, Gdańsk 🇵🇱
Targ Sienny 5
@ceskyport_gdansk

We started with:
🥩 tatarák s topinkami
🧄 creamy česnečka

Then mains (with the thing I’ve been craving the most 😭):
👉 houskové knedlíky
👉 hovězí guláš for Tomas
👉 svíčková (with beef cheeks) for me

And of course Czech beer in one of traditional ways:
🍺 řezané pivo (layered dark + light)

Everything was SO good. Like… the kind of good that makes you emotional 🥹

Czech cuisine is just comfort, nostalgia, and happiness on a plate for me 🤍

If you’re in Gdańsk, I 100% recommend this place.�
And if you want the full experience, more from this visit is coming soon on the blog and in my YouTube vlog from the trip 👀

Now tell me: what food do YOU miss the most in Sweden? 👇

🍤 Göteborg just had a shrimp crisis and yes, that is serious here

After Storm Dave hit Sweden’s west coast, fishing boats couldn’t go out.
Then Easter holidays paused the fish auctions too.
So for a moment, Göteborg ended up with something very unusual:
no truly fresh shrimp in the city.

👉 What caused it:
strong winds from the storm
rough sea conditions even after
red days delaying auctions and deliveries

📈 What happened next:
fresh shrimp disappeared temporarily
prices were expected to go up
even shrimp sandwiches suddenly felt threatened

This kind of shortage is very unusual in Göteborg, where fresh shrimp are basically part of the local lifestyle

The good news?
Fishing was expected to resume once the weather calmed down
