SVENSKA

hello all who are reading this blog, i made it to stockholm safely.

there was some crazy turbulence that scared me as we were flying over the icy tip of greenland, but we made it through and now i'm here in the city of h&m's and ikeas (although i have yet to see an ikea here).

i actually took it pretty easy today as i only had 3 hours of sleep. the first leg of the flight was 6 hours but i couldn't sleep because the plane was shaking so violently. i slept the second leg of my flight (iceland to stockholm) but i've been awake for like 36 hours now.

my hostel is great, the staff is friendly, and everything is super clean. it's located central to all the shops in downtown stockholm which is great. i'm about 2 blocks from wesc, weekday (cheap monday flagship store) and a slew of h&m's.

tomorrow i'll be going on a bar tour with the hostel at 9pm so i'm hoping to make some friends there. on thursday morning, i'll be going on the famous viking sauna tour (where you sit in a sauna until your blood reaches a very high temperature and then you slowly lower yourself into a freezing lake). we'll see how well that goes over.

more pictures to come. for now... this is all i've got :) enjoy.

also, here is a short video of the landscape as i was riding the arlanda express bullet train into the city from the airport. lots o' snow.
