STOCKHOLM

I had the pleasure of spending last weekend in Stockholm! Although I didn't do the touristy things, I did take some photos of the good stuff I passed.

TURNING IN A CIRCLE IN STOCKHOLM

If ever you find yourself in Stockholm, you might try to stand in one spot and then turn around. If you do, this is what you're likely to see.

And PS didn't really take this for you to see my toilet, but rather, i quite like the new towel i bought.

Due to popular demand (Eamon mentioning it in passing on the phone) I have uploaded some photos of my room. Not inspiring stuff, but a roof over my head! This is intertwined with some photos of snow sculptures that have been on display throughout the town this week.

Oh and PS, Eamon has a much more interesting and aesthetically pleasing blog which can be found here. Sure he's a left-wing, tree hugging, Rudd-worshipping, Labor-lover from Perth, but we all have our faults, right? (NB: description may be slightly exaggerated. He hasn't been in Australia for several years and forgets where it is on the map). (NB: "NB:" also slightly exaggerated).

long time, no see! i would say this delay between posts is because my schedule has been brimming with meetings and uni etc. But we all know it's just because i'm inherently lazy.

not much has been happening, besides the usual. it has just been snowing and snowing and snowing....

computer rage - Swedish style.

as this sign indicates, a rack of lamb will set you back about AU$54 per kilo. i dare say this public declaration is supposed to suggest that this is cheap.

remember when your mum used to always say "don't just throw your bike down and leave it... put it away properly"? I finally know the reason why...

Välkommen till Umeå!

Hej! Here is a small glimpse of the city so far. If you scroll down to the bottom and click on "older posts" the photos on that page are probably nicer.

swedes are funny....

this looks like another boat on the river, but in fact it is a cafe.
