Hello! We live on an island in archipelago of Stockholm. In Sweden there is thousands of islands and we live on Ornö. (Have a look on a map). Here are just 300 persons live. (But many elks!!). You have to go by ferry to come here. In summer there is a lot of tourists and summervisitors. Then you can fish and go bye boat to a beautiful island. But in winter it´s quiet and calm. You can for example skate and ski. Both seasons is beautiful. We have here on the island Ornö one shop, a restaurant, touristinformation, a café and a wonderful nature. Stockholm is the capital of Sweden and a little more than 1 milion people live there. One of the most famous things in Sweden is Wasa. A big ship from the 1600:th. ... read more

I think I dozed off quite fast, he was tossing and turning and clearly uncomfortable by it all. He said it was because of the night shifts that he has been doing the few days before I came which messed up his body clock. At some point in the night, I felt him move and exit his room. In the morning, I found him outside on his couch with a half-read book on his coffee table. I came to say good morning and sat on the couch and like a lightning flash, he muttered a reply, smile, jumped up, gathered his things and went into his room. Oooooooooooo KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK, I think I got the idea. We had a very nice breakfast of coffee, bread with cheese and tomato and a boiled egg which he ate with ... read more

The Ryanair Flight from London to Vasteras I arrived at the Stockholm Vasteras airport late at about 1130pm from London Luton. More than an hour late. We were delayed because there was an unidentified baggage on board the plane and the only primitive way to check whose it was, was to get the whole plane to go down, row by row, starting from the back of the plane where I was and identify your luggage to eliminate the stray luggage. Turns out it was a mistake made by the checl-in counter and after 1 hour and 20 mins on the tarmac waiting, we got off on our way. I was sitting next to an elderly couple who between them must have been more than 175 years old. I am not exaggerating. They looked really cute together ... read more

So it's September 17th, and my RTW trip has started. I'm in the SAS lounge at Arlanda airport at the moment, having my second breakfast for the day (and will get a third one on the plane). Today's itinerary is Stockholm-Frankfurt with SAS and Lufthansa in business class (except Stockholm-Copenhagen which is one class only). The check-in agent probably thought I was out of my mind flying Stockholm-Frankfurt via Copenhagen and Hamburg, but it's all about the points really, and I'm not in a hurry anyway. Too bad the check-in system didn't like my routing, it took me a good 15 mins to check-in, and I left check-in with a massive queue behind me, well not really my fault. 4100 points for three hours of flying is a pretty good deal, equivalent to what you get ... read more

Only four more days left until departure, I'm not exaggerating if I say I'm very very excited! :) I've been planning this trip since February, and now in four days I'm leaving, it is a bit strange to be honest! I'm taking care of the final preparations now, checking all the reservations, bookings, immigration rules etc to make sure everything is OK. Got the necessary vaccination last week (fortunately only one injection this time), a new suitcase and a digital camera have been bought, currencies have been ordered, and I got the three remaining accommodations confirmed today (Kyoto/Hong Kong/Guangzhou). So it all looks pretty good, basically just the packing left... My RTW ticket also arrived today...five days delayed. Apparently my booking was so complicated that the airline reservation system got messed up when they tried to ... read more

So my trip has begun, well sort of... I'm back in Stockholm, landed at Arlanda airport about an hour ago, at the inhuman hour of 0.40 am. My dad met me at the airport, and congratulated me of being a free man (or an unemployed former student perhaps :). So university is over, which is very very strange, it's going to take me a while to fully understand that I am no longer a student!! I handed in my master's dissertation this morning, 13,347 words of hard work!! I think the result was quite OK though, comparing the British and the Swedish business cultures and advising what adjustments a British company may need to make in order to successfully enter the Swedish market. I then checked my marks for the last courseworks and exams at the ... read more

G'Day G´Day. Gee you can´t half tell I´ve been hanging around with a whole lot of Aussies for the past 6 days!!! BERLIN-GERMANY 27/8/06-29/8/06 Well my grand adventures in Europe have begun. I managed to survive the gauntlet run, that is Healthrow airport, unscathed and with time to spare (a minor miracle), and landed in Berlin safe and sound. I actually found another couple in the airport who are on my trip as well which was great. It wasn´t hard to miss us looking like giant wonky turtles with multicoloured shells, doing the every so elegant back-packer waddle. So after a few false starts on the trains, first the wrong line, then the wrong direction, we managed to find the hostel in Berlin and meet up with some of the other people. Berlin was more moving ... read more

August 19, 2006 - August 22, 2006 My flight into Stockholm was fairly uneventful, with one exception. The woman sitting in the seat next to me had the worst breathe I think I’ve ever experienced. At first scent, I was unable to determine what the source of the crude smell was. Eventually I linked the awful aroma to her frequent yawns. The stench was appalling. I was very tempted to spend the rest of the flight in the airplane toilet, as that would have been a much more pleasant scent then what I was suffering through. I desperately wished I had a English to Swedish translation book so I could find out how to say, “Close your stinky, ass mouth” in Swedish. Instead, I pulled my jacket over my nose and fought through the chemical warfare ... read more
