The course of the week according to the Swedish

Yesterday someone described me in detail how the Swedish week works: it really starts off with Tuesday, which is called something like Glada Tisdag (Happy Tuesday), and of course means partying. Next day is of course Wednesday (Onsdag), called Lilla Lördag (Little Saturday), and, as it turns out, means partying again. Thursday is just Thursday (Torsdag), gathering power for the upcoming weekend, but probably a small beer or two is always ok. Friday (Fredag) then is the beginning of the weekend. You guessed it, to celebrate this some partying just will be fine. On Saturday it is the climax of the weekend, which exceptionally means heavy partying. If you're still going strong Sundays (Söndag) you can celebrate the end of the weekend. As a result of all this celebration and partying on Monday then (Mandag, with a ° on the first a) everyone is dead and tries to recover. For instance you shouldn't go to Stockholm on a Monday to visit museums, as 2/3 of them won't even have opened on that particular day.

Hehe, was just wondering when Lill-lördag would get mentioned here :) This we-are-half-waz-to-the-real-saturday-name for a day is just glorious. Trevlig helg på dig!
