It's come to my attention that Converse All-Stars, while quite stylish indeed, are not great winter attire. It's also come to my attention that going shopping in Liljeholmen when everyone I know is telling me it's way too cold to go out is not a great idea. Despite the fact that this weekend has been the coldest temperature I've felt in many years, I went out Saturday night and Sunday. Shoe prices here are silly and I mean silly, we're talking $110 for some basic Reeboks. This weekend has made me realize that even though my feet are frozen and the temperature is cold enough to flash freeze your mucus within about 10 seconds of getting outside, I can in fact tough it out.
Once again exploring the city, Amy and I met up at a pub called Oliver Twist. The place was actually really neat, and the beer selection was ridiculous. The prices were pretty reasonable (sad that I consider $7 for their cheapest beer reasonable now) and the atmosphere was great, lots of locals.
I've also managed to find a tumble dryer in the laundry room. Turns out it's a steam dryer, but I couldn't read the settings so I just guessed and left it. My clothes are certainly wrinkle free now though, hoorah!
The snow accumulation has gotten absolutely ridiculous, if I weren't lazy I'd show you a pic of the bicycles outside that are literally buried at this point, but just picture it. It should be warming up soon (all the way to the 20s! Wooo!) but until then I just hope it isn't windy.
The end of this week is when a lot of Swedes get paid, and everyone tends to go out. Hopefully this weekend will bring interesting stories that don't involve me freezing.
