After that, we had lunch in their new canteen that is amazing. We can select any kind of food that we want. They provide varieties of food from Swedish to Asian food. The canteen has a very cosy furniture and lighting. But we ate in the VIP room. After eating, as any other canteen, we put the cutlery in the dish room, and then we have a tea/coffee and chocolate cake.
