The beauty of this green island city-state. Admittedly a luxury retail location to world-class international cuisines. But Singapore is more than famous shopping precinct, it’s a home to a wealth of experiences. Innovative architecture, exciting tracking trails, heritage buildings & shophouses + parks & enormous greenery all over the city-state.
Two historical events were crucial to our country & hence the celebration of Sweden’s National Day.
June 6, 1523 Gustav Vasa is elected king of Sweden. Sweden then broke out of the Kalmar Union with Denmark & Norway & became an independent country with its own king & a new royal dynasty – the Vaasa family.
June 6, 1809, Parliament wrote under the form of government that laid the foundation for modern Sweden & the foundations of our state, which paved the way for the democracy Sweden is known for today.
National Day is also a secular holiday. Which makes it possible for everyone, regardless of belief, to wind up around National Day.
It strengthens the image of a country based on shared values & democracy – important pillars of our development.
We also celebrate our fantastic nature with the universal right, the long period of peace & freedom, the modern industry, our cultural heritage & architecture.
In the spring of 1893 the first spring party was held at Skansen in Stockholm – the party got its end on June 6 with a big flag party. Flag Day 1983 became our official national day & from 2005 also national holiday.
We live in an old house that’s that is classified as heritage but it’s not older than around 110 years. We can’t change things on the outside which is fine with us since this is something we care about. But we can change luminaries in the entrance, although it’s important to be careful so it fits with the surrounding. I think this one would look really nice, modern but still with a hint of tradition & respect for timeless style.
