"If you like drunk people, overpriced kebab stands and throwing up on picnic blankets, this is the place for you!
Welcome to ekonomikum park in Uppsala, where many gather duri g Valborg. My experience in Valborg started by sitting here. Then i tried to find my friend by the recycling container. He is very big on recycling.
He separated his glass beer bottles from the plastics and ended by keeping the metal cap in his pocket so that it would be segregated."
