🍺 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

🎨 Gothenburg is about to spend over 1 billion kronor on an art museum makeover.

Göteborgs konstmuseum will be renovated and expanded in one of the city’s biggest cultural investments ever.

💸 The price? Around 1.05 to 1.12 billion kronor
📈 Yearly rent? Jumping from 10 million to up to 66 million
🏗️ Timeline? Closed between 2028 and 2032

City officials say the goal is clear:
👉 Double the number of visitors: from 250,000 to 500,000 per year

The project has now been officially approved, despite the rising costs.
So… more culture, more tourists, but also a much bigger bill.

Trying to rate Swedish cities with a filter was very bold of me… especially considering I haven’t even been to all of them 😭🇸🇪

Some rankings were based on personal experience.�Some were based on things I’ve heard.�And some were based purely on vibes, delusion, and travel aspirations.
And what was left at the end 🤣

So yes, this was less “official ranking” and more:�✨ gossip�✨ wishful thinking�✨ and spontaneous cultural confidence

Still… I stand by SOME of my choices 😆

Which Swedish city placement would you argue with immediately? 👀

😭🇸🇪 Swedish parking signs are one of those things that look simple… until you actually need to understand them while driving

Because if you’re new here, they can be incredibly confusing.
Not just one sign.�Not two signs.�But a whole little tower of legal information stacked on one pole like you’re supposed to solve a puzzle at 30 km/h.

And yes, I know, technically you read them from top to bottom.

That information is very cute and very useless when:
🚗 there’s a line of cars behind you
🧠 you have 4 seconds to decode everything
💸 and you know the parking fines in Sweden are not exactly symbolic

So instead of calmly “reading the signs”, it often becomes more like:
➡️ panic
➡️ guessing
➡️ spiritual interpretation
➡️ and hoping for the best

Tell me honestly: have Swedish parking signs ever personally humbled you? 👀
