Would someone tell me about the June 23rd holiday in Sweden.
The only information I have is that I will eat pickled herring that
day. Is that Midsummer's day?
Since I'll be in Sweden at that time, I would also appreciate knowing
whether formal or semiformal dress is required at any of the
activities.
Do you know an inexpensive place to stay in Gothenburg?
How much does a train ride from Stockholm to Gothenburg cost?
Also, what is the acceptable mode of attire for sunbathing? Is it San
Tropez style for women?
Thanks
Harriet

P.S. I did read the note file on "Midsummer".
I would still appreciate knowing acceptable attire on the day.
P.S. What could I bring as a gift? A bottle of whiskey, and what else?

>Is that Midsummer's day
In Sweden 1995, it is.
>I will eat pickled herring that day.
Only if you follow tradition. Nobody is going to insist. FWIW: you
should try it if you haven't had it before.
>Also, what is the acceptable mode of attire for sunbathing?
The least that will keep you from hypothermia. It's not July and August
weather just yet.
>I would still appreciate knowing acceptable attire on the day.
It's a party in the country, so dress for the weather - being out all
night in natural surroundings - and such.
>What could I bring as a gift?
See note 285 for some suggestions. Gift-giving is not nessarily linked
to what is specifically happening with the midsummer celebration
itself. [But you might be invited somewhere in any case.]
