Pay Day Weekend

Everyone in Sweden gets paid on the 25th of the month. I guess this makes sense since all bills, rent, etc are due by the 1st.

Since everyone gets paid on the same day, it's actually something that you have to think about when making weekend plans. Restaurants, bars, clubs, movie theaters, and so on are all much more crowded on the weekend right after pay day than any other weekend. This weekend is a pay day weekend so plans to fight the crowds to see the Pirate movie and to stand in a long line to get into a club have been scrapped - I'll be at parties at friends' apartments instead.
