Hej everyone. I’m still in the beautiful capital of Sweden which is a wonderful city even though most Swedes have left for Midsummer. What I really like about Stockholm is that you can reach everything with your feet.
My hotel is just next to T Centralen (Main Station) and it is only a few hundred meters to the Old Town with the King’s palace and many other remarkable buildings. Most stores were closed yesterday which was rather unfortunate.
My suggestion would be to not reside directly in Stockholm during Midsummer. You sure see a lot of tourists but that is it. The sun is shining today and it will hopefully a more pleasant day. We had some heavy rain yesterday evening which made our visit to Skansen a wet experience.
I will be staying another night and head back home tomorrow morning which means I will be on my daily schedule again at that time. I probably begin writing again tomorrow evening but this depends on my mood.

I am planing a trip of Japan & China in August this year. I am not sure if I can post or translate blog any more while I traveling even I will bring my laptop, I mean I am not sure if I have time or can access internet on the road. I do not like still think about work when you take a relax time.
I live in Sweden. I read your blog everyday, so its almost like having a celebrity come and visit my home country, lol :D. Be sure to go to a party with some of the naitives; Swedes are amongst the most shy people in the world when they’re sober, but get over the top drunk when they start drinking, regardless of age, social class or gender.
Another thing you might notice is that Swedes don’t talk to each other in public places (buses have volume levels akin to most funeral halls). Be sure also to stay up an entire night, maybe sitting by a lake or something, around this time of the year one is lucky to have one or two hours of darkness and it is an exhilarating expierence to practically live through daylight during an entire night. Sorry if I dragged on, hope you enjoy the rest of your stay.
erik thanks for the nice tips. I had some pretty bad weather yesterday but today was a really beautiful day with lots of sunshine.
I write more when I’m back :P
Enjoy your stay :)
