Queuing for Chocolate

Saturday, October 8, 2005, quarter to one. A nice day to visit Stockholm's green island Djurgården. But what's that? Why are there so many people queuing in front of the boring Nordiska museet?

To satisfy my curiosity I asked someone in the queue. "Idag är den stora chokladfestivalen." So they were just queuing for free chocolate. The Swedes are like the Germans: If there is something for free, they take it.

Of course three hours later, the queue was still there ...
