sweden, again

Arguably the most famous bit of architecture in Malmö, and the most visible, is Santiago Calatrava's "Turning Torso".



Not sure what this red thing is; fish trap? Some kind of anchor? A buoy?

Google tells me the translation for Majs Krokar is "Corn Hooks"

These were without a doubt the least satisfying snack food I have ever eaten. "MAJS KROKAR" are quite literally just like biodegradable packing peanuts. Perhaps a slightly more charitable interpretation would be that they're like unflavored Cheez Doodles. And let me just say, before this I had no idea how much the "Cheez" was bringing to the table; the "Doodle" alone is, as the French say, "trés grody". Even my jokes about the puffed treat being 2% Fett and 98% Boba were not enough to get through the whole packet. It's not that "Corn Hooks" were disgusting; it's that they were all texture and no flavor. Eating them was tedious. Fortunately Jed will eat almost anything that is served in a crinkly bag, so he was happy to lend a hand. Or tooth.
