Day 10

Today I awoke rather early at 9:00 (that's early for me) because Katarina and I were going to Stockholm. We took Iliyas (from France) with us because he hadn't been to Stockholm yet. We also gave our neighbor (I think her name is Anita if I remember correctly) a ride because she was going to meet with some friends and it would save her a train ride. Anyways....

So we had a nice time in Stockholm and saw some of the sights that we missed last time I was there. The Vasa museum was pretty interesting, as it housed a ship (called the Vasa, named after the king that time) that sank in Stockholm harbor when it was first launched. It was excellently preserved, but they estimate that it will only last about another 200 years before it completely deteriorates. It was pretty amazing actually.

After that we met up with some friends and went to fika at a nice cafe. The food was really good and we had a nice time.

After that we parted with them and walked around Gamla Stan (old town) with tiny winding streets and souvenir shops selling Swedish flags and shirts. It had such an old world feeling and I really liked it.

Well that about sums up the day, for dinner we had some sushi and it was alright, but we're going to try a different one next time. Hopefully I can find a Korean BBQ place here... After dinner we watched a movie called 21 Grams and it was really good, I suggest that you watch it. Right now. Seriously. Now.




Just kidding, not now. But soon. Very soon. In about six minutes and thirty eight seconds from now.
Anyway, that's it for today so God natt
