Today instead of the usual lecture our teacher Tanja led us into the city like a mama duck to visit Medeltidsmuseet. We've been talking about Swedish history all week, focusing especially on the Vikings because, well, they were SWEET, but, as I'm about to illustrate, shortsighted. Did you know that about five centuries before Christopher Columbus the Vikings landed in North America? They named it Vinland because of all the grapevines that grew there on their own but ultimately were like "pshht, nothin' good here" and abandoned the place to the likes of, well, me and the rest of melting pot. Just think: we all could have been Swedes. But then there would have been no hip-hop. I shudder to think.
