Wed 3 Sep
Gothenburg


it was all good at the fair.

we had Alex join us @ the booth. he was fab' with the local kids!! having studied with us for 3 years... having actually lived in SG... plus! i suspect lots of the younger girls wanted to talk with him cos he's pretty cute! everyone loves talking to beautiful people right?? :p


a group of us went out that evening.

took a short boat ride down the canals of the City. coolness! the bridges we had to go past were so awfully low! many times we had to bend forward / lean back / sink into our seats so our heads wouldn't hit the bottom of the bridges.

and then...! we went for dinner!!! and i finally got to eat authentic Swedish meatballs!! awesome!!! i think i have photos somewhere... will post 'em up if i ever bother to transfer them onto the lappie :p


Gothenburg being home to Alex, he took us for a walk down The Avenue after dinner.

the weather was just beautiful that night! it had rained earlier that afternoon, but that evening, with the rains gone, what was left was a kind of crisp coolness and freshness in the air. haha! i sound like i'm talking abt some mountain resort eh? :p but seriously, it was fab' just walking down The Avenue back to the Hotel.


then we had drinks up @ Heaven 23. very nice!


Thu 4 Sep
Gothenburg - Stockholm


nothing much happened that day.
CIS organised for us to take the train up to Stockholm.
First Class.
wOOoohoo!


uneventful train ride.


Stockholm, to me, is another big, European city - very many old-ish looking buildings... some beautiful, grand archi... pedestrian walks dotted with SHOPS!! woooo!! shopping!... huge gardens in and around the City... there was a diff here though. Stockholm apparently is made up of very many 'lil islands; an archipelago-ish City. So there were a fair few bridges that linked the various parts of the City together.


no time for any 'exploration' that day. we all went out for Wine & Cheese that evening. OMG! it was like, the first time i had so much wine and cheese at ONE TIME!!! just thinking back on that evening is making me feel fat fat FAT!!! argh!!! i'm no good with wines... so i have no idea what we had now. 'xcept they were all Reds. haha! and the cheese! 9 diff varieties. and many diff crackers to go with it!! so proud of myself leh... im not a huge cheese person. but i did try abit of all 9 cheese :p didn't take to the goat's cheese thingy much. also didn't like the blue cheeses. yucks!!! but there was a herb-y thingy i loved!!! i polished that off the plate. naturally. ha!!


more on Stockholm when i find time to upload piccies :p
i is wans to watch Breakfast at Tiffany now! don't ask me why, i just feel like watching it NOW :p
