Hi, just a quick update. Im in Stockholm right now. Its a real beautiful city. Corie, it does resemble Sydney, but I think it looks even better! Oh boy, it is more expensive than I thought. Its a cosmopolitan city, without the chaos of London, HK, etc. So I reckon, living here will be so comfortable. The weather has been good to me...all day, its been pretty sunny. I cycled around the city. It was so good riding a bike around...you have as much right on the road as the car or bus next to you, plus you got the..prehaps.. illegitimate rights of pedestrians as well. So if you suddenly hit a red light, while the other cars have to stop, you just move onto the pavement and keep riding away, or make a turn on the zebra crossing and cycle admist pedestrians. Its so good! And cars dont beep at you as they do in Australia. I kept getting confused and riding toward oncoming traffic because they drive on the other side of the road! I kept going in the wrong lane. eek.

Ooh, Ive only got 5 mins left. The internet is eating my money away. So Im going to go off now. In two hours, Ill be boarding a bus to Copenhagan. Yes, a bus. Its an overnight one, so while Ill probably come away from it with neck pains and little or no sleep, at least Im saving on lodging.

Bye noww

update: photos added
