It seems we started to celebrate the National Day in Sweden on June 6 in the beginning of the 20th century, in honor of the election of King Gustav Vasa on June 6 1523.

Some other important events have also taken place on June 6, such as:

• the succession of Christina by her cousin Charles X of Sweden (maybe related to X-men but I am not sure ;-)) in 1654
• new instrument of government, which restores political power to Riksdag of the estate, in 1809
• Sophia of Nassau marries the Sweden-Norway king to be Oscar II in 1857
• new instrument of government , which makes Sweden constitutional monarchy in 1974.

And this year Chie and Johan sneaked into the ambassador’s private apartment 😛 Don’t tell anyone but we did. And then we had to sneak out the back door when he was returning.

After that little adventure we found a few friends, most of them working at sony Ericsson. Except for Jean and Oliver. Jean though is married to Mats, who works at Sony Ericsson. And Oliver has a father that works at Sony Ericsson and is named Mats. So pretty much everyone was somewhat related to Sony Ericsson, including Björn, BA, Chie and me.

We had a Swedish bento with meat balls (of course), daim and ballerina, and some other stuff too. Chie used her charm to get all the daims from everyone. I just got one ballerina cookie which was not a ballerina cookie because it was jam instead of chocolate 🙁

We also had time to play with Oliver. Driving his toy cars. Or just running around.

The others were mainly talking or showing of for the camera 😉
