Sadly I’ll leave a few days before the Christmas…

But despite this São Paulo now sports a quite huge christmas tree. In steel.

Now, if I only could find some glögg. No IKEA here, so it is a bit of a challenge.

Yesterday I went out to IKEA to fetch me an extra mattress that I need for incoming Budapest visitors. On my way out I spotted a small area where they had put up store with ginger bread, the typical “christmas” chocolate Aladdin, special tea blends and so on. All of a sudden I see the glögg. Kind of Swedish glüewein. THis particulary bottle is a special blend that comes out in limited editions every year made from traditional Swedish berries and spices. And because of that it is always really hard to get your hands on a bottle. This years flavour is blueberry! Weeho!

It wont start selling until 3 November in Sweden, but it seems that abroad thery’re not as picky when and how to sell it :) So if you live nearby an IKEA, hurry hurry.
