Celebrating Swedish National day

All Swedes registered at the embassy were invited to a late celebration of the Swedish National day. The reason why it wasn't celebrated on the national day is that the ambassador was in Sweden and followed China's president Hu on his Sweden trip.
It was nice; they served some leverpastej- räk- ostsnittar, meatballs and Janssons. And you can overhear conversations! Something underestimated if you live in a country where you understand the language. We weren't that many because many people are in Sweden for summer vacation.
