What is "fika"?

I've already told you that I had "fika" without explaining what it is... First of all, it's one of the most used words here in Sweden (and also in Finnland). But what is it? It's what the Swedes love very much: drinking coffee. When you go "fika" it means you go for a coffee break. And they do that quite often here. Which makes Sweden one of the heavy-coffee-drinking-nations. I don't really contribute to this statistic but what I really can contribute is to the sweets-statistics. Often they take something sweet with the coffee.

The best day is Sunday - then it's Sunday Fika time! You can go to a coffee shop and have a cheap and good cake, muffin, ... with tea or coffee. Aaaaaaah, sunday fika is great... :)
