| In the Malmö Museet- a poster that was used in schools. This one obviously about how germs are spread. Poor Svelka (that's the name I gave her) is now sick in bed because Olf hacked all over her. |

| Another poster used in schools- I'm not sure what it was depicting, but Jason and I thought it looked like a drag queen. |
 |
| Malmö Museet- a frightening art piece that had a crank. When turned, the mannequin hands would play the toy piano. I'm a bit happy that this was out of order that day. |

| Exhibit in Malmö Museet. The sign was in Swedish, so I'm not sure what the point was. But I used it to take a selfie. |

I loved your visit to Sweden. I would love to see it when we come over. Especially since it is so close. I think you should sing in May for Eurovision. This could be a great oppurtunity for you. Poor Svelka-that mean Olf hacking all over her! Looks like a beautiful country-see any Volvo's?
Eurovision isn't open to the public. I think they are already established performers chosen by the country. Plus, USA doesn't participate if I remember correctly. Yep, saw Volvos!
1. Picture of baby in a basket, probably Moses being found in the river by the Egyptian princess.
2. Harpsichord, not a piano, missing the pedals.
3. Onat can give the details about Eurovision.
Thanks, Bob. I think you're right about the picture. As for the harpsichord, I'm disappointed for not realizing that it was one, as I adore the sound that comes out of it. However, I don't think I've ever seen one in person. Just heard Tori Amos play it on albums.
It's so nice to see how CLEAN Europe is compared to America. We'll get there one day.
Harpsichords are really fun to play, they work by plucking the strings rather than hitting them like a piano. The harpsichord sound on a digital keyboard doesn't come close the the very distinct sound of a real one
