Anyone who has ever visited Sweden in early June will probably be familiar with scenes like this one. A flatbed truck party. Secondary school students celebrating that after three long years it is finally over. School is out forever. Or at least for the Summer if you are going to Uni come the Autumn. All Spring, they have been partying like mad. Their poor parents, probably broke because they have been paying for it all. Celebrations like this are legal, at least if you follow the basic rules, and that didn't happen here, so the police moved in and had a chat with one or two of the drivers. One rule says that you shouldn't drink while on the flatbed, but all the students tried their best to break that rule here, and it worked until it didn't. All this happened on the flashiest street in Stockholm, Strandvägen, last week. The girl in the bikini top tried her best to hear my response to where she could see the photos, but her friend's shouting made that impossible. Behind me stood a large group of tourists with open mouths shooting the same scene with their smartphones.

That is a fun tradition we don't have here...
Nice to see the police enforce the rules. Good luck to the students in the future!
Major party time.
There's a football event here in the fall that involves the two big universities in the city. The behaviour by the fans, mostly in the after-parties in their neighbourhoods, reminds me of that.
It was one big drink fest back in the day, everyone had parties.
