What main languages are spoken here?:

People here primarily speak Swedish, but the majority of the Swedes are also fluent in English! 

What type of money is used here?:

Sweden is not a part of the European Union, so it has its own currency: the Swedish kronor (also referred to as crowns, or SEK).

How much does a bottle of water cost?:

As with many European countries, the tap water here in Stockholm is quite clean and suitable for drinking! Thus, a bottle of water is expensive and can cost you up to 15 SEk (1.5 € or $1.65).

What was the best meal this week?:

My friends and I had a party celebrating "50 days till Christmas," which is the first of a few parties counting down to Christmas. I saw a video by Buzzfeed's Tasty and wanted to recreate their "Scalloped Potato Roll". This resulted in a tasty, cheesy mess of potatoes, mozzarella, ground beef, onions, tomatoes, and spinach/ricotta cheese spread. (Here is the recipe if you'd like to try your hand at making it!

What music did I listen to this week?:

One of my favorite Chinese artists Gen Neo came out with a song called "你會不會" that I really enjoyed. Otherwise, I've been listening to a lot of podcasts during my commutes to school.
