		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s funny how things come around in a full circle.
Earlier this year, I found myself taking a beer with a friend (let&#8217;s call him Matt) in a pub in Uppsala. We were both language rookies, cautious of the frightening possibility of any Swedish encounters.
A waitress approached and said something, holding out a piece of paper [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As far as I can see, there are two main Uppsala Problems.
1. Uppsala is a student town. This means there are potentially thousands of foreign students who compete to get student type jobs &#8211; that&#8217;s to say in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops etc. As the majority of the foreigners can&#8217;t speak Swedish, the supply outweighs [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s the same thing with Sweden. Here are the&#8230;
Bottom ten:

The winters are intensely cold. Like, two pairs of socks and everything tucked in cold. The rivers and lakes freeze over, everything below knee-height disappears under snow. [...]]]></description>

Well, life goes on for the Uppsala Koala, even though this blog doesn&#8217;t, and has somehow become invisible on The Local.
I thought this would mean nobody would read it anymore, but thanks to my regular fans and people who must lose their way on google, people keep coming back.
I added a stat tracker to see where [...]]]></description>

I have nothing left to say about The Land Down Under. Swedes know it all already!
It was odd in the beginning. I would tell Swedish people stories about Australia and they would have a knowing smile, a glint in their eye. Sometimes they even finished my sentences. But I could never figure why or how.

First, The Local ran this enlightening story about Leffe the Moose man who smooches mooses at his own safari park.
Then, they ran another story about a drunk moose getting stuck in an apple tree.
If that&#8217;s not enough for you, Aftonbladet ran a story about a woman [...]]]></description>

Jag stod under körsbärsträdet och tittade upp. Trädet var jättestort, och helt täckt i röda bär, precis som en julträd. Vi placerade en lång stege [...]]]></description>

Many winters ago, lonely Vikings were tiring of the boredom that comes to Sweden with the snow, and were finished with that day&#8217;s raping and pillaging. One of them noticed a pile of firewood and stood pieces of wood on end for his pals to knock over.
A new game came into the world. A [...]]]></description>
