Have you ever been to Stockholm?I think it is the most beautiful city in Europe… with its many little islands, the atmospheric Gamla Stan, all its beautiful bridges…
However my memories might be a bit coloured by the circumstances under which I first visited Stockholm… I was doing my Erasmus in Finland and - to put it bluntly – Finland has no real “city”… Helsinki comes close, but still is a provincial town compared to the grandeur of Stockholm. Me and my friend Maria decided to embark on a hitch-hiking adventure leaving from Turku in Finland, via Vaasa to Umea and then down to Stockholm… So after hitchhiking more than 1000 km through Finnish and Swedish nowhere-ness, you suddenly arrive in this magnificent stylish metropolis.
Why do I mention this now? Because Joris is leaving tomorrow to go there for the weekend, to work with the internationally acclaimed “Peeping Tom” dance-theatre company for their performances in Stockholm... Lucky bastard…
PS: If you ever have the chance of going to see one of the performances of this theatre, it's definitely worth it! check here

Hello! I found your blog in blogspot.com.
I have a friend and he is working in Denmark. He was here in the Netherlands. But now he wants to have a house in Stockholm to bring his girl.
Nice to see the pictures of the city.
Don't forget to drink some hot chocolate at "Sjokoladskoppen"!! Hmmm.. :)
I'm already counting the days when I can go back to the city where my heart lies (apart from Antwerp)
mmmm, I wish I could go back to that wild life, and not be slave of work...
