I try to make the most of my vacation – sometimes that means seeing very small things.
Yesterday afternoon I took a walk through Stockholm; it was Christmas Day and predictably grey, wet and empty. On my way home I got hungry and stopped for some kebab at a small, nice place run by foreigners (who don’t mind working holidays).
On my table was a small picture of a Coke, with the text: Refills – add 5 swedish crowns. Great to know, if you wanted a refill – which I didn’t. But then I noticed… at all the other tables the price was 8!
Looking closely I saw how a very, very careful touch-up had turned 8 into 5.
This made me feel rather sad – such an obviously futile little fake. Eight swedish crowns is not quite a dollar, and the kebab-sellers would never fall for it anyway. On the other hand, let’s say we add a lot of zeroes and a “dot-com”…
Tomorrow I am going to pick up a digital camcorder. If that sign is still there I will upload it. Done! 
Too bad newbies with camcorders always slow down the pages, though
