Sweden woman awoke to find stranger's tongue on her arm

A woman in eastern sweden awoke with a start recently to find stranger's tongue on her arm, man lying next to her in bed.

The young woman was asleep beside her boyfriend at the time of the stranger's unexpected visit. Upon discovering the strange man’s tongue pressed against the inside of her elbow, the woman first woke up her boyfriend to ask if he knew who the stranger was.

The couple’s initial attempts to force the unknown intruder out of the house were met with angry rebuttals from the man, who demanded to know who the couple was and what they were doing there.

The arm-tasting bandit has now been charged with sexual molestation, breaking and entering, as well as drug crimes, the newspaper reports.

In defending his actions, the 22-year-old man told police he was drunk at the time and has no recollection of entering the couple’s home or licking the woman’s arm.

The incident, which took place two months ago, is reminiscent of a similar incident from October involving a drunken student from skane in southern Sweden.

Following a party with his university classmates, the student broke into a home he thought was his own, but in fact belonged to a family who were startled by the strangers’ abrupt entrance.

The mother at first thought the drunken student was her son, but upon realising she instead had an intruder in her home, she called police and waited outside with her family in the pouring rain until five squad cars arrived in response to the call.

The student was given a suspended sentence, fined, and ordered to pay to replace the window he broke to enter the house.

Abu dhabi luxury hotel | Million dollar christmas tree

An Abu Dhabi luxury hotel that boasted an $11 million Christmas tree decorated with gold and gems admitted Sunday it may have taken the holiday spirit a bit too far.

A statement from the Emirates Palace hotel said it regretted "attempts to overload" the Christmas tree tradition by adorning it with premium bling including gold, rubies, diamonds and other precious stones from a hotel jeweler.

Abu dhabi, million dollar christmas treeThe statement was a rare bit of reflection on the Gulf's ethos of excess. The tree was unveiled last week with full fanfare in a hotel that features its own gold bar vending machine and a one-week $1 million package that includes private jet jaunts around the Middle East.

But the hotel management apparently had second thoughts after questions arose about whether the opulent tree was innocent good cheer or unfortunate bad taste.

The hotel regrets "attempts to overload the tradition followed by most hotels in the country with meanings and connotations that do not fall in line with the (hotel's) professional standards," said a statement carried on the state-run news agency WAM.

The hotel even tried to distance itself from the 43-foot (13-meter) faux fir in one of its rotundas, saying a hotel-based jeweler was solely responsible for creating and decorating the tree.

"The hotel is just a venue for exhibiting the tree," the statement said.

The hotel also claimed the tree was not a stunt, but rather an effort to boost the holiday mood for its guests based on the United Arab Emirates' "values of openness and tolerance."

Although officially Muslim, the UAE features many signs of Christmas for its huge foreign population. Lights, carolers and Santas are fixtures in nearly every mall.
