Painting Picnics and Chicks
... Cicci talk in Swedish about the church, and let us in when they talk about the church owning two thirds of all the forest in Sweden. Owning a forest is strange enough, let alone owning two thirds of al the trees in the country. As talk continues I notice ...

Stockholm - Shopping - Syndrome

Lapland
... of Europe as she can before going back, she has an interesting deviation that makes her like travelling with me - I'm honoured! Sweden has a row of unspectacular cities along the coast, and Gävle, Sundsvall, Umeå, Skellefteå and Luleå were nice ...

Bevore crossing the Atlantic Ocean the vessel makes additional stops at Goeteborg, Antwepen, Liverpool. ...
The Destruction of Fika!
... the two countries when it comes to coffee. If Americans were to embrace Fika they would understand what a great institution it is in Sweden. I fear though, that since Starbuck’s may be viewed as this great new thing from the States that has been in ...
Malmö, Sweden and Copenhagen, Denmark
... I got back to the station the bum was getting a fine by the police. Monday 11 May 12:00 It's been soooo relaxed here in Sweden. The people seem to be way more mellow than we are in Holland. Also the streets can be soooo quiet, I'm not really used ...

Long Nights
I just hit the hottest night of clubbing I've had, ever. All meanings of the word included. I won't go into the details, but, suffice it to say, wow! Points for Patricia, the bar on a boat and major points to a hot, young couple comprised of a Swede ...

Stockholme
