08-08-08

So it is the day of Stockholmers :)
'Nollåttorna' is celebrating today.
08 (nollåtta) is the area code to the Stockholm area. So there are all kinds of activities and stuff going on. Some stuff is free, some stuff costs only 8 SEK. If your birthday is today you can get in to the amusment park in Stockholm for free. But even better, if you are born today you will not have to pay for the rides for the rest of your life.


Together with the Stockholmers I guess the Chinese is celebrating. Since the number 8 is seen as a lucky number. Perfect day then to have the first day of the Olympic Games. They planned it well.
