Swedes never have problems with their flag. The swedish flag is pretty and they know it with pride. Therefore it is no surprise that you see every day swedish flags everywhere. When I came to Sweden I learned that there are some days known as "flag days". As the name implies at these days you hoist the Swedish flag. I wondered, how such a day could differ from other days, because they did not seem to run down the flags on usual days. But today is the Swedish national holiday. And since today I know how a flag day looks like. The difference is that one flag on each building is not enough. Not even sufficient. It feels like at the top of every single little corner has to stand a flag.During this so called "Nationaldagen" 
I've been with Benjamin, Cedric, Celine, Nawelle and Selene in the town center. A lot of people have been there as well and it was the biggest convention I've seen in Sweden by now. But with this amazing weather which we have since at least one week, it is not surprising that the people are enjoying ever opportunity to get out. After a walk through the town, we went to the harbour, went back to the town, ate an ice from Hemköp and lay down next to the river enjoying the sun. At half past 5 we left for walking back to Nacksta. I uploaded some of my pictures.
I did not work further on my article, but I guess, I will finish it tomorrow. I really hope I will, because this week is the week of GoodByes. In difference to last semester the erasmus students leave quiet. Everyday you hear from somebody else who is already at home. I guess, the reason for this is not only the difference between the first semester and second semester. In the first semester christmas was a fixed date for everybody. Most of us left at christmas Sweden for ever and only a few of us came back in January. Therefore the first semester ended in one huge erasmus feeling in the end of December. But because of the summer this semester does not have a fixed deadline. Since last week almost everyday leaves somebody the town.
