Because of the nice response to my previous blog, I have decided to keep the writing up. This time it's not just gonna be an awefully long text, but some pictures too! As I said in my last blog, I live in Sweden. Sweden is a quite big country but despite that, it's hardly noticed by the rest of the world :(
Sorry, it's pretty large... But lookie, it contains the time zones and all!:P
I live in the capital, Stockholm; I marked it for you with a red dot. Even though I wish I could travel more and see the world, I love it here. I'm most fond of the lovely forests, which unlike in most capitals are still here. I'm very proud to say that even though I live in the capital and biggest city in the country, I still am very close to just take a walk in a considerably undisturbed forest. However, sometimes I think about moving to a smaller city when I grow up, perhaps up north, but then I think about my future career that would suffer great damage if I did. There aren't many jobs up there and I don't know if it's worth it. My mother comes from up there, but moved down here to pursue her career as a psychologist. I want to be a doctor when I grow up, and I wouldn't be able to get the same education and job I need if I lived there. It sucks, but since my mother's family live up there, I travel there a lot... And I could always buy a little cabin in the middle of nowhere to go to when I feel overwhelmed by the city. I love it up there, it's so peaceful!
This is a picture of Stockholm. The tower in the middle with the three crowns is the Stockholm city hall. I will see if I can find another bigger picture of it later. Really liked this pic!
This is the city, The heart of Sweden, really. It's really pretty but it's so loud, crowded (not in the pic, though. Weird:?) and full of bad air, so I don't go there so often.
This building is called the globe. It's not situated far from where I live, actually. Things like Sport events and concerts take place here. They light it up like this during the evening, often with different colours too. When it's christmas they put a christmas tree on the top. It lights up really beautiful and can be seen from a very far distant.
Ah, here it is. Behold, the Stockholm city hall!
...Funfacts time! The Stockholm city hall was made out of 8 000 000 bricks and was desined by a guy named Ragnar Östberg. Inside are lots of rooms. One of them being the famous blue hall (pic later) The annual Nobel Prize Dinner takes place right there. The dinner is attended by many important people, among them the royal family and of course the Nobel Prize winners. The blue hall is not actually blue, Östberg itended it to be, but he liked the red colour better so he decided to let it be. Innit Beatiful? And here, a pic from the dinner.
Wow, it's almost only pictures taken at night... Meh. Who cares, they were pretty!:P You like them? You liked my blog? Comment me! Please!
