(April-May 2018)
What's happening in the country right now?
The most impressive Ice hotel of the country!
For another winter, Ice Hotel of Sweden opened and is more impressive than
ever before. Every year since 1989, the Ice Hotel is being built and rebuilt in
the village of Jukkasjarvi, 200 km north of the Arctic Circle, next to the banks
of the River Torne.
This year's construction is the 28th in a row. Many cubic meters of snow and
ice were used this year to manufacture its exterior as well as 500 tons of
crystal-clear natural ice to create the necessary ice and glass furniture and
decorations.
It features 35 uniquely designed luxury suites, a room where ice shows and a
brand new ice-cold children's playground. In the main room, 1,000 hand-made
frosted crystals were used to create impressive chandeliers. A total of 36
artists from 17 different countries around the world were selected to design
and build this year's hotel, which opened its "frozen" doors on December 15th.
The new culinary experience of the restaurant, featuring 12 dishes inspired by
local produce, is also special.
The hotel has also taken care of young visitors by creating a snow park,
where children can make snowmen or form anglers on the ground.
The Ice Hotel is open every year from December to March.

3. 2. Sharp increase in crime in the Sweden in recent years!
On Tuesday the Swedish Council for Crime prevention (Brå) released it΄s
lethal violence figures for 2017, with the body's definition of lethal violence
including murder, manslaughter, infanticide and assault with a fatal outcome.
The 113 cases of lethal violence in 2017 was a new record for Bra’s yearly
reports on the figures since they started in 2002, and an increase of seven
compared to 2016, when there was 106 cases.
The 2017 terror attack also had an influence on gender-specific figures: in
2017 a woman was the victim in 27 cases (24 percent) compared to 86 cases
for men (76 percent). But if the terror attack is excluded from the stats, then
the gender disparity ways even further towards men, who are overwhelmingly
the most common victims of lethal violence in Sweden.
From 2014 onwards the level of lethal violence in Sweden has reached a
steadier, higher level. Gun violence is a particularly strong influence on that
change."

Kladdkaka – Sticky Swedish chocolate cake.
Ingredients

9. 100g unsalted butter
2 medium eggs
200g caster sugar
150g plain flour
4 tbsp Fazer cocoa powder (or a good quality cocoa powder)
1 tbsp vanilla sugar (we recommend Tørsleffs) or extract
A pinch of salt
Instructions
1.Melt the butter and leave to cool slightly
2.Whisk the egg and sugar together until the mixture is light, fluffy and pale
3.Weigh all the dry ingredients and sift them into the egg and sugar mixture.
Fold in until everything is incorporated
4.Fold in the melted butter until you are left with a smooth chocolate mixture
5.Update 18/4/18: We couldn’t help but tinkering with these and added
some crushed mint candies to the batter before baking – the result isa
deliciously soft, mildly minty chocolate cake. So good!
6.Pour into a lined cake tin. This recipe fits a normal 20x30cm tin. The cake
will not rise, but it will puff up slightly during baking
7.Bake at 180°C for around 20 minutes. The exact time can vary, so keep an
eye on the cake. A perfect kladdkaka is very soft in the middle, but not
runny once it has cooled – but almost runny
8.If you press down gently on the cake whilst it’s baking, the crust should
need a bit of pressure to crack. When this happens, the cake is done.
Leave to cool in the tin for at least an hour.

10. Chapter 4: What is it like to be a young in your
country ?
In Sweden is the most often unclear weather. Sometimes it can snow and be
cold. But sometimes lately it will be hot and sunny. You cannot really
understand the weather here in Sweden. But it’s fun to live there!
In the school in Sweden there is a”bamba” Where you get free food. You get
free books and pens here in Sweden, which is good. I think the teachers here
are strictly what they are, for example, in Greece we have a lot of tests and
homework, so the school here is just stressful.
In the free time you spend a lot of time in the town, and if it’s hot, you usually
swim in lakes or the sea, you also play a lot of football and are outside very
much, but sometimes you have kind of like girls evenings at home and that's
cozy. Also you go to sea and sit there and grill and listen to music. Then you
can also take the bus to Gothenburg. You go there to shop, eat at cafés or go
to Liseberg in the summer. Liseberg is an amusement park. Lederberg it’s like
the same as Disney land.
The family life in Sweden it’s like every family life. Almost the average number
of families in Sweden is divided but that does not mean that they loved and
cared for their children.

13. Chapter 7: What did you like most about this
country?
What we like more of Sweden are the museums for example the Army
Museum, the Museum Tree Koror, because they are very interesting .Also we
really enjoy the Drottningholm Palace and the old town of Stockholm. But of
course we love and their food. Especially the Pit I pane , the Artfoppa and the
Köttbullar. We also like their deserts such as the Kladdkaka and the
Kanelbullar. Something that interests us a lot and impressed us was the
climate. Generally it has quite dry and cold climate, with large and cold
winters. Summers are limited in duration and do not reach high temperatures
in contrast to Greece. Moreover people are really kind and friendly.
