Stockholm: (Stockholm uni), T-centralen



Accomdation Instructions for recycling glass, plastics, cardboards, paper and metals. Pp here really follow. And one automatically feel obliged to do so



Impossible to have underground power cables thruout such a big country, unlike S'pore.



There are no carparks around and most pp just park along the side of the road
This is my long path from my place to the nearest train station, Universitetet



Fortunately, there are always these animals to observe
Sorry, deprived childhood on an urban island



Monster slugs all over the place.
Supposedly killing each other, so i'm witnessing a slug-fight fest
Too bad there's no gore, it's just wet and wetter.
So it's PG, not NC-16.



Deprived childhood again
You dun see such bright flowers growing everywhere and plants scaling the wall back home



A monument to their glorious Viking days (top of the monument)



Stockholm uni, which is along the way
Beautiful architecture it has
Simple yet elegant





Bicycles are expensive here, yet it's in high demand and found everywhere





Minrui, my hc junior, one of 4 NUS overseas college based in Stockholm
Bloody busy they are, yet he was kind enuff to bring us around



Is it the splendid-looking plants or



artistic, simple structures dotting the landscape,
that made me feel as if every journey is a special, unique one?



There's no "Bicycle parking lot"
Nor white lines on the floor to indicate how u should park your bike

Somehow, things in Sweden run in an orderly quiet manner. Everybody seems to know what is the correct thing to do. It's just respect for the unspoken practices, not fear of getting caught for breaking certain rules

Is S'pore ever ready to do that? Or will it never be able to shake off the image of a "fine' city?


Ahlens City, their equivalent of our Orchard Road
This is supposedly the most crowdy street in Stockholm



A plaza outside T-centralen



A monument or ?



More statues



It's funny why a country with 9 million population



can produce so much more art works than us





Henry finally got to meet Daniel, his Swedish "fadder"



These snacks are everywhere
Dun understand why any kid will fancy the gum-lookalike
