It’s not every
day I have lunch in Trafalgar Square. My seventh Swenglish person is an
arts writer, and he took me round a few galleries in London. When we stopped
for a sandwich in the world famous square I felt strangely happy.To be in a place I’ve seen on TV and read about in books makes me feel connected, puts me on the map. That’s one thing I really like about living in England, to be part of the world. People all over the planet know about London landmarks, but I doubt anyone can name a square in Stockholm unless they’ve been there on holiday.
Perhaps it’s my job to educate people, so I've inserted a
picture of ”Plattan” ("The Plate"?) ,
or
Sergels Torg, a famous square in the heart of Sweden’s capital.
And as a bonus I'll give you "Dödens's Väntrum" ("Death's Waiting Room"),
the "big" square (stortorget) in my hometown Nässjö.
