Rica Talk Hotel Stockholm

... the Nobel Museum.<br><br>The museum itself was pretty small as they were still constructing some displays but there were a couple of theatres where you could watch some short films on previous Nobel winners. Aside from that, there was not much else to look at other than a limited amount of displays. I happened to look outside at one point and noticed it was raining. Curses on not bringing ...

... in it and listening to the guy playing on the keyboard for awhile, we kept walking (after I used the free bathroom of course). I found these really strange poles where they were decorated with hats and scarves... not sure why... make them more festive?? There was a table nearby that had people sitting around knitting!! Very interesting...<br><br>There were street performers and so we stopped to watch them for a bit. They're very entertaining and talented. We found some very ...

... have been the best days to date. I've been trying to think which place was my favourite, but I don't know if I really have one. Each place has been different and lovely in its own respect. I do feel an extra pull towards London tho, but that is probably the closest to a fav I have. Fun facts: during this trip we have been on planes, trains, buses, subways, vans and a HUGE ferry boat! what a trip :-)

... burnt down. We watched a little movie and then walked around the museum and saw old things that were in the palace that was damaged by a fire. We then continued our search for Swedish meatballs but were unsuccessful. On our way we saw a big outdoor market. It was funny because everyone was yelling, even the flower sellers! We ended up eating in this large Food Court and through having a conversation with an owner of one of ...

9th - 12th August, Stockholm Peter and I had a quiet morning, feeling rather tired after St. Petersburg, I caught up on emails and some work. Anders picked us up around midday to take us to Anna-Karin's place. Anna-Karin and Kalle live in Nasbypark, not far from where I sued to live. The forecast was for rain, but it was nice and sunny when we got there. They have a lovely big house, with plenty of space for the 4 children. Leo was at our but ...

... and now wants to come to the US to study religion. She listens to American Christian rock and wishes she could wear American clothes. She wants Obama to become president so he can break down racism in the US and around the world. Then, I somehow befriended a group of friends from Spain. One was studying abroad in Finland, Adrian, who became my closest friend in the bunch. He had long curly hair, longer than mine's ever been. They were all very bad at English and detested ...

... at 3AM and start again. I did this some with success in 2005, but tried it again this year and found that I was too groggy and grumpy to dance. Anyway, I wasn't as keen as others on the 3AM dancing because you miss all of the live music and the general excitement of the beginning of the evening and by 3AM, its true, there are less people on the floor but that is because many of your friends have wisely headed home and gone to bed so your choices ...

... and partners. This, of course, creates additional demand for the items. And it doesn't dilute their brand with lots of unrelated merchandise. At the end of the visit, the presenter acted as bartender and let us all try a cocktail with their latest vodka flavor, pear. It was much better than I expected. I really did like it. But not as well as citroen. He found out we were taking the ferry to Helsinki and said, "Oh yes, it's very nice. You'll ...

... and I. (Hahaha) After the lookout point, Kristen and I went home to nap and change before Rasmus took us to his friend's birthday party. I know that sounds dorky, but when we are traveling like this, we don't often get to hang out with the people of the culture we are visiting. It was nice to meet people like the friends I have at home, doing things like I would do at home. They were really nice and we had so much fun, but everyone kept asking us why we came to ...
