Killer snails

Irony is one of the highest forms of humor. Especially when it come unexpectedly.
Swedens gardens is suffering of a plague called "the killer snails" (mördarsniglar) it is brown snails that eats everything, really everything in their way. It has gone so far now that the issue has been brought up in congress on how to get ride of them.

This summer I went to the botanical garden in Gotenburg. And this is what I saw, a tribute to irony.

Comparison no.1

Now that I'm back in Sweden, I can't help but compare Poland or should I say Warsaw to Sweden (Linköping in this case). I compare everything and in the back of my mind I keep track on plus and minuses for each country.
There are a lot of plus for Poland of course but just since I have picture evidence I will focus on one negative thing in particular that differs Poland from Sweden. And I know people might think but hey you can't compare a 2 million city with a 100 000 city, but I don't care I will.

The thing is toilette manner. I could never get use to the toilette manner in Poland, to be frank it was disgusting. And me being on several festivals with the worst toi toi (baja-major) ever should know. I have written a post about this before but to remind my small but faithful group of reader I will post the picture again of one normal sight in night clubs in Warsaw:

Ok so this is Swedens contribution:


Sorry Poland but this time it is 1-0 to Sweden
