Let's celebrate!




I'm thinking not to continue my Berlin story today.I do it tomorrow instead.Let's celebrate today's big day here in Sweden. "Midsummer's Eve"that falls every Friday bet.19-25 of June. It's an ancient tradition in other parts of the world among other things Sweden and Finland.




Why they celebrate?It's a thought and connection of the sun high level. This time night getting shorter. Most of the people are on holiday from their work.




They celebrate by dancing around in the midsummer pole. It's unusual for me for the past 2 years but now I did understand why this day is so important. To celebrate midsummer is like Christmas Day and Easter. People here ,partying the whole day and counted as "red day" in Swedish calendar means people who are working get double paid.
Have a nice midsummer every one!

About Me

From Cebu and landed here in Northern Europe a Nordic Country on the Scandivian Peninsula ..soon to be a Mom. Life living outside Philippines is interesting and a lot of challenge ,of course difficult because of the language.People in Sweden speak Swedish and I need to step back from the basic just to learn their language and to have a job.I created this blog for my family and friends in Philippines,easy for them to update my life here. My other reason is to keep updating my english language.
