When the present and history meet. The outdoor café guests probably choked on their wine when the 17th century came marching through town on Storgatan, which otherwise has almost exactly the same layout as it did 350 years ago. And it should be added that cannon blasts don’t sound a bit weak in real life. And that black powder smells like eggs.

That shows what I love about Swedish. The words look logical (when you have the translation. nutid = present (nu = now, tid = time as in tidings.).
Uteserveringsgästerna = outdoor cafe guests: ut pronounced like Scottish oot, i.e. out. Servings relates to serving, the cafe bit. And gäst sounds a bit like guest (but with a Y) . And ägg is pronounced like egg!
