Sweden / Sverige

[jayen_aitch]

Glad Midsommar.

[jayen_aitch]

Yey, we're in Stockholm again. But only for a couple of days. What's with all the rain?

[cupcake_love]

the weather is weeeeiiird. it's sunny, then raining, then storming but still hot, then it's thundering and then all over again. weather changes several times a day! i suspect this actually has something to do with the climate change, that everyone has been talking about for the last couple of years :(

[jayen_aitch]

Well something is up. This is the first time I've ever felt the need to use the word muggy to describe Sweden.

[jayen_aitch]

Yey just two days now until we're back in lovely Sweden. I'm very excited. Doesn't look like there's much on gigs-wise though.

[cupcake_love]

for how long are you staying and where-abouts? i know of a lot a gigs i want to go to, but that's too far away.

[let it ride]

Oh gigs schmigs my love, we'll have all of Stockholm to have fun in, hurrah! Let's not spend our time in dark venues watching bands. That's what we do here, haha. I want to play in the snow! I want to go and look at the Christmas decorations! I want to go ice skating! I want to go to museums! And have dinners and fika and fun with people!

... Can you tell I'm excited to have my yearly month in Sweden now? I had to have six days this summer because of the wedding and now I am insanely excited to get there and start being as social as jayen_aitch always is.

I'm homesick in a really good way :D

[jayen_aitch]

We'll be in Nacka and I'll be there until January 3, while my lovely wife is staying a couple of weeks longer.

I just don't want to miss anything ace.

[cupcake_love]

well, anderson tapes and something else i can't remember is playing in stockholm on the 30th.

and there's going to be a lovely pop fest in jönköping this saturday.

[jayen_aitch]

Oh I knew about that one, but it'll be mostly done by the time we get to Arlanda.

Not long now though. yey.

Did you look up any Stockholm anoraks while there?

[staralfur]

we were at a wedding in the city, with friends from here - but next time!

what a fun (and damned expensive) city. Only fell on my arse twice, which was less than I expected

[let it ride]

Haha yup, it's so cold here, isn't it? I realised how absurd it is today when it was -9 and I was like "Oh, well it's warm today so I'll just wear one layer of tights!" because it's been so cold. Brrrr! Can't imagine it being too nice touristing then, but it's been nice to go for walks, even if it's quite hard to walk around in all the snow!

[staralfur]

Think the most I had on top was 6 layers, plus jeans and ski leggings underneath the jeans and 3 pairs of socks.

when we got back to barcelona it was 10º - pretty much 30ºc in difference :D

A friend of mine is going to Göteborg to study there for a few months and has asked me to do a little research on interesting places and things around. I've sent her to the indietravelguide site to start with, there are a few cool things in there but I wonder if any of you has more ideas. Any information would be well appreciated. Now I'm jealous because I want to go myself. I'll probably go to visit her at some point over the autumn though, yay!

[cupcake_love]

i've never been there, but i sure would love to go sometime. club i gbg: http://www.myspace.com/onourhoneymoon

[jayen_aitch]

We're moving to Sweden this month, it's very exciting. There's quite a lot to do though.

[jayen_aitch]

... for a start finding an apartment.

So far we've had two scam artists trying to con us with a fictional Yahoo Escrow service, but no actual genuine offers. Gah.

[jayen_aitch]

Yey, now we live in Sweden.
