Re: [Wikimania-l] Surströmming

[Johan Jönsson]

So the best way to do this is probably to find a restaurant or some other
place that will serve you surströmming, but should anyone get a can, do
*not* open it indoors and preferably keep the can submerged in water when
you open it. Fermentation continues in the can, which builds some pressure,
and upon opening it might greet you like the enthusiastic sprout of a whale
breathing out.

Of course, not being hit by the full force of the smell takes away some of
the memorable, exotic part of it, but that way, you'll experience it as
reasonably normal food rather than a potentially vomiting-inducing aroma.

[Wikimania-l] Sticker needed for bus to Soumaya reception

[Johan Jönsson]

Hi,

So this was mentioned at the end of the last keynote today, but a lot of
people seem not to have got the information. Apparently there are stickers
you need if you're to take the bus there. These are currently handed out at
the reception desk on the 2nd floor.
