Stockholm: (Arrival), (City Terminalen), (Lappis)

Stockholm Arlanda airport



Roger Fredriksson--my Swedish "fadder' (Godfather)--who so kindly brought us around Stockholm
Behind is Pressbryan, the Swedish convenience store found everywhere




Hmm.. The taxis drivers kept a respectful distance, not like in Delhi airport
Everything you want to do and get in the airport is pretty accessible and convenient, yet it isn't pushy, thus giving everyone his own personal space



Arlanda to Stockholm Bus (59Kr)



Rays of light piercing through cumulonimbus clouds



They have 2 types of trains:
1.)Pendeltag = Commuter train
2.)Tunnelbana (T-bana) = Underground train

Almost all gates in Stockholm are auto, including the above revolving door



Above is T-Centralen, a T-bana stataion
Spacious and beautiful, with sky light shining thru the top



Many pp at the station seem to be going for hiking trips
I will too, if I were born here
Where can I hike in S'pore w/o fearing mosquito or stinky clothes?



Viking line to take you to neighboring Scandivanian countries
We'll be back here again

Hiss = Lift
Yes, it smells like somebody piss in there too
Why? Cos there's no public toilets in the train stations

All their "hiss" operate with a door to be opened outwards (requires quite a lot of strength) rather than our sliding lift doors
So can I dare say I've finally found sth Singapore is better at?





Inside their train
Comfortable seats, subtle advertisments, relatively quiet--no hp ringing from calls or sms, no voice that repeatedly says "Watch out for suspicious objects" in 4 different languges, "door closing", door closing warning sounds...

It's just more peacful, even in the main city, Stockholm



Cute little boys and girls wearing the bright yellow jacket waiting to cross the wet road
Supposedly to be from a kindergarten or child-care centre



Everything in Sweden is beautiful
Every corner, every angle you take is just so picturesque
Though they sometimes have objects on the streets that make you wonder what they are for, like the big ball up there



All their public toilets require 5Kr (S$1.11 to enter)



Waiting for the bus 40 to take us to Lappis(below)





Horrendous to drag your 30kg luggage, even on wheels



Finally reached Forskarbacken



Even the spiderweb looks picturesque



My room in the day



After Sun sets at 8pm



Where I'm writing this now



There's no min age to start hitting the tobacco
