Rain and snow day today, storm and not at all funny actually going out the door ...
However, I and a friend went to Kivbergs market and botanised among all that is there, things, smells, tastes, meetings with causes people from other cultures, etc. I love Kviberg!
I become uneasy at the prospect of this being squeezed out by commercial forces, forces that find this unbecoming of our society, that one can operate / use the land better than a lousy market for a lot of causes people of mixed descent. It does not take into consideration or look (if you choose commercialism, profit, and that they want the land) is that it is a highly social institution, where many come into their own, meet and socialize, shop and sell, hang out for a few hours Saturdays and Sundays.

Lucky me who just need to jump on the 11 tram and swish approximately 30 mitures later I ended up in Kviberg, another part of the town in many ways... Try it if you have time!
Nothing is perfect there, but everything is still very nice ... not at all like the city's shopping malls, these are people talking to each other, exchange smiles with each other and are generally friendly ...
Naturally, there are strange things here and there are signs warning of pickpockets etc. But I must say to the agency's defense, it is also in the city center of major shopping malls also, which is experiencing atleast I that those working are not always the happiest types ... but on the other hand, working the ones who work inside the town and in these large complex day in and day out, to earn their living bread ... on Kviberg is the selling Saturdays and Sundays, and what they do in between, I have no idea about, but that it needed a place Kviberg it I am one of many who endorse.
