“Stängt”: Last One Out Switches Off The Light
Even if you are not taking a Swedish course, you probably come across this word these days: "stängt". It means "closed" and everything seems to be closed due to the Easter holidays.
The whole corridor I live in is emptying. It all started already a few weeks ago. Today, I only saw two of my Swedish neighbours. Only we, the exchange students, are holding the fort.
When I look out of the window, to the house opposite to me, most of the windows are dark. In Uppsala as well, many shops close completely during Easter. One has to adapt to that because normally the shops have quite long opening hours and open even on Sundays for instance.
So my only hope is the local ICA supermarket. It says "Öppet alla dagar 8-23", open all days from 8 am to 23 pm.
