Week 29

The Swedes are a bit odd. They keep on thinking in week numbers instead of dates. It makes me crazy. They really don't know exactly what dates are included in these week numbers. I ask a friend (or anybody) when they are going on vacation and they answer me: week 31-33. And then I reply with another question: and when is that? They don't know. I know that my vacations start the 11th of August when I walk out of the doors from my work and that I have to be back on Monday the 27th of August.

Then we have these parking signs. Forbidden to park Thursdays between 9-12 odd weeks! I end up parking somewhere else since I don't know what week it is. Since I live here no there is no choice but to learn how to think in week numbers. I found out that my Outlook can show week numbers (it is very useful for me). Maybe they think it's practical.
