World Pillow Fight Day

It's true what they say: Swedes are pretty reserved. It's hard to see anyone crack a smile in public in the winter, and in lines at the grocery stores, libraries, or clustered on the trams, a lot of your crowd-encounters are done in complete, stony silence. 

But (and this is what I like the most)---this by no means means that Swedes don't know how to have fun. :)

Here's a few clips from Gothenburg's participation in World Pillow Fight Day, brought to you by Flash-Mob-Gothenburg. At 3pm, the pigeons all flew up in a frenzy when a screaming man in dreads runs out from two blocks down, flailing a pillow. And then, all hell breaks loose.
