... and have a certain ethnic background experience more violence in toilets, too. Secondly, talking about the right to use toilets is just an entry point for the discussion about gendered spaces in society. For example, prisons and shelters for homeless people are also gendered and put transpeople in a vulnerable position. (Dean speaks about the US so the question about imprisonment is important, especially among the black people.)

... is quaint with it's different colours & shapes and quirky doors & windows Within Gamlastan there is the royal palace, which is impressive in it's size and craftsmenship. We also saw the changing of the guards where the royal band play, which was pretty impressive(attached is a video) I also went to the Nobel Museum which was cool, I got to learn about the how the nobel prize came about ...

Hier, j ai profité de la matinée a Helsinki pour visiter le sympathique musée d art contemporain "Kiasma". J y suis rester jusqu a 14h. Puis direction la gare pour voir quand est-ce qu il y a un train qui part pour Tampere. J ai de la chance 10 min plus tard je suis dans le bon train direct ! Apres 2h de train, je me rends a la 1ere auberge indiquee dans mon guide, malheureusement complete... Alors je vais voir la seconde ...

It's JUNE!!! CRAAAZY... not my first thought when I woke up by the way. I'm pretty sure my first thoughts went something like, "Ughhh... where am I? What just happened? It wasn't me???" I shower and feel oddly good by the time we run out to grab the train, minus her boyfriend and other friends. We sit in the restaurant car to have a bite to eat and Malin actually asked if I wanted a beer with my breakfast... I look around and see most people decked out in ...

... 3:00 so we dropped our bags off up in the storage locker and went downtown. At the first café we went to we met two people from California. We chatted about the west coast for a while and compared our European vacation experiences. The day was nice so we walked down to Vondel park and sat by a lake for a while. Our hostel room was an 8 bed dorm and completely full. The roughest part about a full dorm of people is the schedule of people going to bed and getting up. In the ...

... a Saturday night so everyone on the boat was hitting it pretty hard. Our night started well when we (ie benny) decided that 'what happens on the boat stays on the boat' and all of a sudden we were belting out Barnsey at the karaoke bar. Then Jay picked up some Swedish girl who had a boyfriend (who was in jail for 6 months because he was a professional fighter in an illegal fighting ring). He took her back to the room for a few hours, only for her to pass out stone cold as ...

We had finally left the United Kingdom after rushing around for almost 4 hours before our flight. It was a Ryan Air flight and we knew we had to be right on time after our experience in Ireland. We arrived on time in Stockholm Skavsta airport where we were greeted by Saman and Amelia who we had met 5 months earlier in Thailand. It felt like only 2 weeks ago that we had seen them. Our first impression of Stockholm was amazing we ...

... Our dinner that night was Pizza and Kebab. It is a dinner familiar with budget travelers all over Europe, the cheapest thing to eat in whatever city you visit. We found new roommates when we returned to the hostel, an older couple from Switzerland. They were very friendly - teaching us many things about Switzerland and giving us a delicious bar of Lindt dark chocolate. He showed us the biggest Swiss army knife we had ever seen. We hope to get more roommates ...

So, up at 4:10am, into the taxi at 4:30am, 10 minute Taxi/death ride through down town Luton to the airport. Flight left (on time) for Stockholm at 6:25am. Arrived at Vasterus Airport in Sweden 10 minutes before schedule, the passport control queue was a bit tedious, but the sun was shining and by the the time we were allowed in - the bags had been unloaded and we were on our way. We caught the Flygbuss which was waiting right outside the terminal (timed to meet the Ryanair flights ...

... to my chagrin discovered that I wasn't supposed to check in for another 4 hours. Thankfully a friendly Swiss took pity on the silly American and told me the code to the 15 person multi-sexed dorm room I was to be staying in. By this time I had only slept briefly and fitfully for the past 4 days so I was exhausted and my back hurt from sitting in the plain and lugging all my luggage the wrong way down the ...
