... I am now in beautiful Stockholm. But after one of the first row. After our pack mules converted to the car car was initially parked safely at the hotel, the city then screamed to be explored.
Full program was announced: The mandatory purchase tour the old town, postcards, little boat (how the hell write these diminutive actually really go?), watching islands. The absolute highlight (besides the really nice old town "Gamla Stan") for me: the Vasa Museum. And no! Here the highlights are not issued Swedish crispbread-back art, but the highlight of royal megalomania. King Gustav II Adolf came during the 30 years war on the brilliant idea to build a stylish new flagship for its fleet. So just as quickly in 1000 oaks were cut down and built enough guns to equip this one ship with more firepower than the entire Polish fleet. As this pile of guns, unfortunately not quite passs wanted a deck, the Vasa, of course, took a second gun deck. Unfortunately, you probably forgot to change the proportions and the ballast according to what turned out to be rather unfavorable. After trying the chic little ship - painted in bright colors and with plenty of nasty, scary decorated figures and faces - leaving the port, the maiden voyage ended on 10 August 1628 in the Stockholm harbor. And under water.
fell after 333 years, the Stockholm suddenly that they had once a very handsome flagship, which you could slowly raise it again. And again 20 years later was a good piece preserved and with a beautiful museum drumrum the public access provided. Highly recommended, even if an otherwise at the thought of the Swedish general and maritime history through rather less joyful showers. Also recommended is
Skansen, the first open air museum in the world. Here the 150 most beautiful and representative huts were collected from all over Sweden in order to provide a cross section of Swedish life and Crafts tradition. And here you can finally do the time, making the most fun on vacation: sit and watch others at work. And my fears to be in Sweden for six months without seeing moose have been shattered. This relaxed colleague here lounging around lazily in front of my camera:
And then on Monday: dorm romance. After we had our beloved Navi (beide!) once again happy 1 ½ hours shooed across the city, not to lead us even in the vicinity of my residence hall complex, we saw the student magnificent buildings of the 60s. To distract from the uniform gray nostalgic, a resourceful man came to the colorful idea to paint the window frames yellow and blue. Since my room is on the first floor and find quite good, everything was allowed to happen. After a short farewell was the bare minimum set up and I tried to get to know the people on my floor closer. Oh yes, I was very surprised to living here (ed) very nice people. Why in the last sentence of the "t" in brackets? Because about half of the nice people I met here within the next few days packed her bags and moved out. But the remaining and newly drawn to cooking area are all very sympathetic contemporaries. And we even have a "Guy on the Couch" which in our case but rather a "Girl on the couch," and although an Australian, which - also because of their living here best friend - find our material probably much cozier than their own Residence. These two Austalierinnen spend much of their time to review various student parties and the Stockholm nightlife to beer prices, choice of music and dance ability. Very practical and is extremely amusing source of information.
Our corridor bulkheads had unfortunately his last evening when I arrived, but made with beer mug and kilt and a very nice impression. In addition, live here a few German, Asian, and several Europeans.
whole, it is obviously quite comfortable living here, my room is large enough and with what is most necessary (bathroom, electricity, Internet) equipped, the rest was luckily quite fast inexpensive get at Ikea. Above all, the carpet, which makes the room only really comfortable. But do yourself a picture ... or Stop! Wait! I've already done for you:
