Svenska posten (Swedish post)

Trying to get back some money from crazy custom taxes.

The whole combination of post + customs looks completely random to me. I wonder whether there’s anybody in Sweden who knows how this actually works…

Gud finns nog inte

Gud finns nog inte

Gud finns nog inte

Gud finns nog inte

Gud finns nog inte

This is an advertisement campaign in the Stockholm’s tunnelbana (underground). “Gud finns nog inte” means “God probably doesn’t exist” and as you can imagine it’s a pro-secularization campaign pointing out the influence religion still has on swedish society, even to those who aren’t religious.

I found the joke with the swedish flag quite original and amusing. It really points out the pervasiveness of religion — christianity in this case — into such a common thing as the swedish flag.

The International Brigades in Sweden

The International Brigades were Republican military units made up of many non-state-sponsored, anti-fascist, mostly socialist and communist, volunteers from different countries who traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in the [Spanish Civil War][spanish-civil-war.

This poster seems to be for recruiting swedish volunteers for these International Brigades. I found it in Skansen, Stockholm.

An attempt to translate it to english:


  Now it can be possible!
  
  Support the spanish people’s fight for freedom!
