Stockholm

An incredibly clean and friendly city. The perks of having high taxes were completely visible.


the view from our hostel BOAT! We were only there for one night, but it was really comfortable.

Sweden.
seagull! and beautiful sky.
cherry blossoms + hannah cha
look at this mcdonald's!!
Outside the Modern Art Museum where we saw an Andy Warhol exhibiton. I enjoyed The Museum of Architecture that was right next door a lot more though. The swedish have amazing architecture: like IKEA all across the country!

other than the 2 museums, we also went on a boat-tour [we couldn't get all the way out to the archipelago] and then just to see the 'old city' we rode a public bus from its starting point, back to its starting point.

in this book Affluenza, it talks about Danes being the happiest people because of the small (relatively) gap between the rich and the poor, and I feel like this is true for the Swedish too. It felt more like a community of people than competitors trying to get to the top of the success ladder.
We were also there on the NICEST/warmest day! That was a huuuge plus.
