Well, it seems like some offense has been taken by me not mentioning the other Swedish influence in my life. As well as my very lovely aunt, one of my closest friends also happens to be Swedish.
Coming to Sweden with my aunt didn’t work out, but my friend served as an equally wonderful tour guide and translator when I made my first visit here a couple of years ago.
We took in some typical cultural sites such as the Vasa museum, some childishly cultural sights such as Skansen, as well as a great mix of pubs and hot dog stands.
Those two perfect weeks in Stockholm only added to how much I wanted to be here. Also, this meant that for a long time I really liked all the Swedes I knew (hey, 100% success rate is pretty good, no matter how small the sample size...).
The photos are from that first visit and show a little of Stockholm as well as a random reindeer from Skansen (as an animal science student I thought I should make an effort to include at least one animal photo).
