This morning I got a cup of coffee from a vending machine during a class break. The following was printed on the cup:
Sun is pure and intense
Sun is enjoyable everytime again
Sun is warmth on your skin
Sun is gold and fire and party
Sun is a gift from heaven
Sun is luxury
Uh, what? This is like some kind of engrish you'd read on some knick-knack from a 100¥ store in Japan, but with a little better grammar. Is this supposed to cheer you up and get you excited about summer while enjoying your coffee on a winter day in Stockholm? It can be dark more than 18 hours of the day and typically down to -7°C in the winter here (though I've heard it can get substantially colder), so I think reading something like this while I'm frozen in the dark would just annoy me. Pretty bizarre.
P.S. I know free speech, and other constitutional rights, have been on the decline in America in recent years, but it would be really cool if that trend gets reversed soon. Like, before I come home. These videos make me sad:
