Scandic Sjofarthotellet Stockholm

... the end, we walked to the Tourist Information Center to get the card. I would highly recommend doing this so that you don't walk around trying to do the same thing we did.<br><br>After we purchased a 3 Day card using the bikes was easy as you put the card in front of the reader, the display will tell you what bike number you have been assigned and you just pull it from ...

... 69 SEK (10.31 CAD) gets you on the bus but I'm not sure if it's a return or not.<br><br>I'm sitting here at the University in the Psychology department (hhmmm... ) in the kitchen blogging away while there's a bunch of guys in the big room hacking away... well, there's 1 OpenBSD girl but the rest are guys... way too much testosterone for me!! I'll sit here with my NKOTB instead! :) Speaking of them, I went to a few stores (whenever I walked past a music store) and asked ...

... in the distance, and say goodbye Baltic states from the sea. Quite lovely watching the tall spires slowly fade away. The next move was to have a good stroll around the ship to see what was on offer. It turned out to be more of a cruise ship than a ferry. There was, a pub, club, buffet restaurant, Russian Al a Carte restaurant, Galleria, huge supermarket (mostly booze &amp; fags) and then the entertainment area. This needs a mention on its own as ...

... weeks in the beginning. It was awesome travel with everyone again. Brandon also brought his friend Tony who is studying with him in Barcelona.  So on the first day, we all met up in Germany at the "Frankfurt Hahn Airport" (that's right, Hahn!) for our connecting flight to Stockholm. The name of this airport is extremely deceiving because it's actually like an hour or two outside of Frankfurt. We had like 8 hours to kill before our next flight, and we did NOT want to sit ...

... 150 buildings and all of the critters on display. I gave Skansen a separate entry so you would understand where each of the photos was taken and I could use the limited photo description field to better describe the photo. The buildings were pretty interesting and I was impressed with the quality of construction given the age of the buildings.

... s house and found a really woman sitting there knitting. This was the first time I have been to a museum with live people. She explained to me what the life of a farmer laborer was like in Sweden- they basically worked on the farm in exchange for a bit of food and the small cottage and were only contracted for a year. Skansen is well worth a visit- but make sure you do it on a nice day.

... there, or where I would stay once I got there. I stzarted to become frantic when I discovered that all of the hostels in Copenhagen were booked solid, so I decided to give CouchSurfing a try. I posted a last minute plea for a counch in Copenhagen for the next night on the Copenhagen message board. A man named Silas responded that he could offer me a place to stay for two nights, so I took him up on the offer and write down the directions for his house.

I wanted to continue contacting people, but no one was at the office. It seems like I was in the wrong country at the wrong time. Even people in the US were having the day off. Oh well. Who ever said that Europeans were lazy? At least not the ones in ...

... highlighted in Borat - high five). The love American music, movies, fashion mags, TV shows (even the bad ones), etc. So walking around Gamla Stan (Old Town, where my office is) and Vasastan (my 'hood) or on the tube (T-bana), people looked like they dressed pretty much like they do at home. But then the weekend came and it became very clear that I dress like bag lady who is wearing someone else's clothing. Men and women wear really tight clothing - not quite the level of Italy ...

Today there was record high in Stockholm- 32 degrees which i guess is around 90 degrees. it is very hot here and I am feeling hot a lot and very sweaty. this i dont care for. Today was a lovely day in Stockholm. it is such a beautiful city. i cant remember if ive said this before, but the people in sweden i believe are the nicest people as a whole of anywhere ive travelled. they are very respectful, friendly and polite ...
