I think we all need something like this, and it's a basic human need that we've sacrificed to work in this country. Time to relax? Socialize? Do that on your own time, or better yet, skip it and eat at your desk!
So true. I’m on the ferry back as I type and it was an incredible three days out there but I also kinda feel like I was speed dating processing/relaxing. I couldn’t help but wonder what I would be like if I — if everyone — had a week, two weeks, more — to do this properly. It would be a whole different ballgame, that’s for sure. Maybe that’s why I felt so out of step with the Swedes — I’m too much of a mess to fika properly, I need some time having the seagulls split me open before I’m ready for daily chats by candlelight!
