By the way, do you know why there is not a Noble prize in Mathematics? Maybe Mr. Noble was not too fond of Math?! I have also read that in the cellar of city hall in Stockholm, you can order previous years Noble prize banquet menus. Have you or anyone you know has done that? With the advent of winter, the festival activity likely has subsided in Sweden. Which is the next big festival? In a future blog, please share with us which is/are your favorite Swedish slott/slottet, and why? Thank you again for your time and effort for writing these insightful blogs about the wonderful land of Sverige! Sincerely, Arsh Hej Anna!Thank you so much for keeping us up to date on
