For us it’s normal, but for the majority of the world education is not for free, which is sad…

Whaaaaa!!!

Highschool was sort of free (property taxes went into it, somewhat) because I went to a public highschool (the same can be done for Catholic board here, as long as the right box is checked… or something?)… but I didn’t get paid to attend classes! I’m sure attendance would’ve gone up and we wouldn’t have had any skippers. Also, that would’ve been quite nice… I wouldn’t have had to babysit for spending money, ever.
Oh, the many wonders of a wonderfully social culture~~~! <3

Kan ju inte låta Stockholm vinna. 
Saigon är enda stället jag vet här som har grejer, hittade ok te på Ica Focus för några år sen, men sen försvann det och jag har flyttat så har ingen aning om deras utbud längre.

Välcome! 
What is you favorite food? And what do you think is the most popular thing in other Scandinavian countries?
My favorite Finnish food is Carelian stew. It’s basicly beef, pork, onions, salt, black peppers and water, cooked for two hours in an oven and served with potatoes.
Sweden makes me think of Ikea köttbullar or sill. Norway would be lax or torsk. Denmark with smörrebröd. But I have no idea for Iceland. All I know is the Islandic horse’s and volcanos.
And I just made myself terribly hungry!
Woho!!
Här är en svensk göteborgare!

Typically Swedish foods barely exist, hahah… We do have pannbiff, knäckebröd and mashed potatoes with meatballs, but to be honest we don’t eat them that often. We’re very multicultural. My favorite “all-Swedish” food is probably a toss-up between mashed root vegetables (rotmos) with pork sausage, and mashed potatoes with lots of butter and meatballs.
Finland? Pirogies! Carelian pirogies.
Denmark? Uh, food-wise I have no idea. It just makes me think of sand, milk, and designer children’s clothing.
Norway… probably something fishy. Lutefisk. These are just the things I associate with the country, not what I actually think is popular, of course.

Oh, I hadn’t even thought of Maxi. A new one just opened near me, maybe I should check if they have Japanese stuff too

@Kumirei Do it! 
It’s nothing fancy really but they do sell the most basic stuff like mirin, sake, soba, sushi ingredients etc.
They have those at my local normal Ica… 
Some people are luckier than others… Sthlm vs Värmland 1-0
Oh, yeah, pretty sure I’ve seen that stuff in my local ICA as well
I’ve found some at Coop as well!
Oi! I’m from Gävle, though I’ve been living in Stockholm for a few years now. Just starting to pick up my Japanese studies again after a semi-long break.

So basically all local Icas (and Coop) have Japanese stuff. 
Perhaps this is the start of the great war between the supermarkets Japanese selection.
