Stockholm Rocks
Looking back at my first blog here it's ironic to think that I thought my summer was going to end up very calm and boring. I feel like I haven't been sitting still for the entire time! The time I have spent in Stockholm has been pretty good though. In fact, I love this city!
Where else can you start your day by go shopping for CD's in the world's best music store, named Sound Pollution and located in beautiful Old Town, and continue it with a sunny walk trough town with your best friend, constantly enjoying a mind-blowing scenery of water and islands, stopping for bit of coffee and cake at Kafé 44 on Sveavägen after having passed by the hectic heart of the centre, Sergelplattan? In what other city do you continue your walk along Sveavägen only to meet someone you for a split second think you know but soon realise is Anders Fridén, singer of amazing In Flames (also, your baffled stare is met by a friendly smile and you feel like you've just melted to the ground)? And where but here do you finish your morning with going shopping for organic food in a nice and cheap food store around the corner only to continue to your friends lovely flat and make plans for your move to Berlin (whilst wondering why you are moving at all)?
Where, a week later do you go for a beer on a Sunday night at Bröderna Olssons on Folkungagatan to find that the DJ is a bassist from an old Swedish rock band and happens to know your second favourite band The Hellacopters personally? In what other place else do you end up discussing the band and going on a musical tour down Hellacopter-history until 2 am in the morning together with that old rock-star and also where do unfortunately all of your male friends that you share this evening with dress in the same outfit as yourself; jeans and a checked shirt?
Stockholm is a wonderful place during the summer. However I wouldn't mind if it moved from under the massive rain cloud that is covering it at the moment!!
