[EN] My trip to Sweden
[disponible ici en français]
I’m now back from a whole week in Sweden, spent between Stockholm, the capital, and Uppsala, one of the major student city of the country. My trip had two main reasons: meet up with some friends i met in Salamanca (Spain) – two Swedish and one French; and of course discover Sweden.
It was my first time in Sweden, and i really loved it. I actually fell in love with Sweden. Nice museums and monuments, really authentic and typical cities, a good mix between urban life and nature, amazing student parties, a nice and singing language, very warm and welcoming people. Sweden really kept me voiceless for one week.
Stockholm under the snow
I was really helped by my two swedish friends: i lived in their parents’ place and then in their student flat. So i was in total immersion in Sweden, and that’s the way i like to discover a country: find out about hidden places, go around with people who have memories and know their way around, discover and share the daily life of the people.
Weather also had his important part to play: the all country was completely coverd with snow. It is obviously very cold, but the snow everywhere gives the city and the countryside a particular charm. I’m convinced that there are two Stockholm: one in summer, one in winter; and both are worth the visit.
Pictures are already available on my FlickR account, and in a few days i’ll also post on this blog some pictures and articles about Stockholm, Uppsala, the student life, some differences with other countries… So please come back soon, you’d be surprised about what you will read and see.
