Party Town of Stockholm


Look at this statue, so much confidence. "THIS IS MY BODY AND DAM! I AM BEAUTIFUL". I so like its spirits. Love it. Thought I share it with ya'll..

Today is Sweden High School graduation day, all the kids on the utility trucks, decorated with branches drinking, yelling, singing, music blaring, police everywhere, jammed-up city. Cool atmosphere for Stockholm, like it or not they are lifting up the city-spirit for the weekend. Grona Lund – is on the other side, the amusement park. Gustav Adolf Square, with the Royal Opera. Mynttorget opposite the parliament building and the Royal Palace. This is where Vasterlanggatan starts, a very popular pedestrian st in Gmala Stan. Drottninholm palace.

Note: We are not going to make it to up-north of Sweden, Kiruna where the ice hotel is at. Because its only exist from October to March. Then melt.

Walked down the old city shopping street “Stortorget” and bought lots of Beer. In the supermarket or any groceries store, all the Beers are 2.8% max. We were very confused because the same packaging the same brand but yet smaller % of the Alc. Then we learnt that only at the designated liquor stores you can get REAL beers and Spirits. Again, we learnt that all the brands of Beers have a max content of 10%. So we really had to watch what we are getting into, because the same color, packaging of a brand made it confusing. We selected a variety of Swedish beers. We drank and shared it with some Canadian who also was very confused like us about the Beers here…. The % and all, etc etc… Good conversation though. Shared many wonderful experiences of their journey. In the late evening…we headed to a bar (BlueRain) or something…. By walking through Sveavagen street. Went to the Hotel and checked out the Ice-Bar. But it closes at midnight, so we missed it.
