DunewitSveden

Hello everyone, today is March the 28th so I have a lot of catching up to do.So the day after our big reggae night we accidentaly slept in until after 1pm which really was bad because I did not want to waste a minute here. Anyways we started the day slowly and went to the Old Town and visited the Nobel Prize Museum. Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm and after he passed he left his estate to various family memebers and educationial commitees. And what they did with the money was set up the Nobel Prizes. The museum was dedicated to all those who have won past and present, which was very nice to see and to read about, beautiful interior

Its kind of sad that we never really hear about the Nobel Prize winners even though they contiue to happen every year. So next we went to the Kulturhuset, any guesses on the name?? Here they had some photography exibits on, one being about child obesity not only in America but in the countries it is spreading to like Mexico for instance. And fast foward to the next day we rounded up our visit with the last few stops we wanted to make. We went through a really great aquarium, even Swedens fish are more beautiful than the ours.


We went to the Vasa museum one of stockholms main attractions for the hugest ship you have ever seen in your life that was built in 1632, sunk on its maiden voyage and brought up in 1958. Even I would have to say that this was fantastic to see. Just the size of the ship was amazing and the craftmanship was so detailed for every inch of that boat. Oh yeah and Josh met a nice girl, here he is with her.

Next we went on to the Nationial Muesuem which houses orignal paintings from the 1400 through 1600s including Rembrants. The other side which was my favorite was the design eras of sweden and europe. So we finished off our stay with the most touristic thing possible, a bus tour.

This was ok but I would say Josh and myself would have been better guides and we had pretty much covered all of this ourselves, it was nice to sit down though. So we finshed off our day with the normal rountine a 4 hour nap at 4pm and then up at 2am. Maybe I am not adjusting as well as I thought.......
So to sum up our expreience in Stockholm I would say it was cool, literally. I loved the city and the architecture and the history and the fashion and the design, but the people were not very friendly nor helpful. We did not have too much contact with the genereal public, mostly service industry.And if it is their job to put their best foot forward shouldnt we have seen the best. This city was amazingly efficent and we really saw this in their public transportation, traffice, and environmental control. It was really great for us because everyone speaks english if you ask. I will not look back and and have a negative memory though because this city was beautiful and because I am only here to live the cities so I really enjoyed Stockholm and hope to come back again. I know we were meant to be together, they have the most delicious tap water you could ever imagine!
