As you can see, my hair was looking kinda scraggly, so wondering what a holy barbershop was, we walked inside. A young man from Eritrea, named Tsinat, who had been living in Sweden for 6 years, who owned the barbershop, gave me a haircut. And … he didn’t charge me a thing. “Pay it forward” is what he said.

The Feskekörka. It used to be a fish market, but it was remade into 4 different fish restaurants

Just outside, we saw a boy and his Dad playing with the fish mongers
