My mother recently came back from a buisiness trip to Sweeden, and brought back a giant puzzle of the Sweedish transportation map - including subways, highways, traintracks, water ways and all the other types of ways. Lucky for us, the map is written in Sweedish, in a cylyndrical tube and with a very limited drawing of what the finished map is supposed to look like. And by lucky, I mean that it is a wonderful oportunity to practice my Sweedish... yeah.. that's what I meant... Du fristard tu Swenska? Inteso-brah. Fristard Engleska (or something along these lines)
A few weeks ago I come home to find that my brother had started putting this puzzle together - after a hard day of work during tax season, he decided that staying up until 2am would be a good idea before he had to be back at work bright and early the next day. Good idea, but he only managed to get the edges of the puzzle together.
Now can you imagine my delight when I came home the next day after work to see this partially asembled puzzle on our coffee table? (It went a little something like this - Hey! Who did this? When? Why wasn't I invited?)
Over the next week, me along with various members of my family would sit in front of this puzzle, sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes a couple of hours and slowly pieced this puzzle together. It is now sitting proudly on the coffee table, being used as a glorified coaster.
