hej hej, as in Sweden you'll be greet from everyone,
I'm Legend, my dream since I was young was go to Sweden, the Blonde's land.
CdSA made this dream come true. Three members of it, Cioa, Tobyz and Giandu came with me in Stockholm. We made one of our low cost trip, through Ryan air flights. 10 euros to go and come.
Till a few days before the leaving I wasn't sure, I could have come. Finally two days before it, I had the permit.
Our idea was going to visit two other members of CdSA, il Biondo (Marco) and Sommelier (Fede). We had a special guest with us, Marco's girlfriend Angela, that got our same flight on the round trip.
By chance during our journey there was also Sommelier birthday, another reason to go there.
It must be said that dream had been close to stay a dream for all of us, because we had been very close to lose the flight.
Luckily we caught on the fly the plane, after a long run by car. In this way we couldn't load the luggage in the plane, we left with only our hand luggage. So we payed 50 euros for two luggage and we arrived in Sweden without any of them. The first was lost because was refered to On. Neckerz that couldn't come with us, we bought a second one during the checkin on the fly, but we didn't have time to get it in the plane. A great start!
When we landed we immediately realized that we were in another world. I don't know what make us think so, but we were sure about that, we felt it inside us as we felt the wind whipping on our faces and the cold frozing our bones.
The journey had been awesome, we enjoyed it very much. We'd love Stockholm since the beginning, and the more we walk in it the more we fell in love of it and of its wonderful girls.
I'm famous for my passion for blonde girls, and I find a lot of material in this country, but I have to say that I discover that also dark haired with light eyes are wonderful.
The Swedish way to say coffee break is ficka, so when we saw one wonderful girl, we say each other “ look at that coffee break”or “ Over there what a coffee break” or similar sentences.
The first day I totally lost my mind, there were coffee breaks everywhere.
As it's known, in Sweden almost all people know English, it took us a little time switching from Italian to English. Although everyone can speak English, I don't know why I was always used as pacer when it was necessary to talk in English.
>THE FIRST DAY<
The first day we went to Gamla Stan (the old city), where there are the royal palace and Nobel's museum for instance. The game of the day was me to take picture of every beautiful girl I saw. We found a lot of German girls, nice one nothing to say, but very few sweden girls were around. After that we went to KTH , the university were Marco and Fede study, I noticed only a difference beetwen KTH and Dei, they are complete opposites. It looks like a big garden with a lot of nice structures and building, like an harry potter film's scenario. At five we went to a perfumery to get bubble bath, shampoo and so on and we fell in another world, I thought it was a sort of heaven. Blonde wonderful girls everywhere, all smiling, from that point I don't understand anything else.
The night Marco took us to a very nice and good typical Swedish restaurant, where we ate typical dishes. I was suggested for trying the moose meatball, and I've to say I liked them a lot.
After that we went to Stampen a pub where there is often live jazz music. There was a lovely jazz group, useless to say that there were two beautiful blonde girls singing. In that pub we also met Bastian and Stephy, two marco's friends. They were very funny and nice, I must be honest Stephy was also a very good looking girl. That night going home we found Fede, that in the mean time had been reached by his girlfriend Claudia. This unexpected but very pleasant meeting ended the night.
The next day the main event of the journey was expected, Fede's birthday party.
> THE SECOND DAY<
During the day we took a sightseeing ship, where I could sleep for a while. I'm kidding (a little). It has been interesting and amusing, there are wonderful landscapes in every angle of Stockholm. During this trip we discover that in winter the lakes of Stockholm froze and people skate on them, it must be great.
After this trip, we go the a shopping center, Did I say that there are 5 H&M store in about 300 meters? In this shopping center I really fell in love for the first time in the journey, the wonderful coffee break of the 3 point. (it was so cute guys!!!!)
The night what a night, guys!!!!
unforgivable!
We had a party at Fede's apartment, with all his erasmus' friends Stefy, Bastian, Kathrina, Sarah, Alex, Cuba, Arnaud,( damn, I don't remember the name of all of them). They were all enjoyable and funny people, we had some troubles at the beginning, because of our scarse practice in talking in english, but after a few glasses of wine, and a few drinks of orange juice with wodka our tongues became more actives. Thereafter they make we try a new shot, a glass of water with a drop of strawberry syrup. To drink all in one. You don't feel it in the throat but the effect is evident in you after a few minutes. Cioa became a tough fun of this shot, and he madly drank I don't know how many times and how much wodka in each time he drank. He seemed an highlander.
There had been a lot of funny events in the party, as when Arnau and Sara started dancing something that I think could be salsa, they try to teach it to Marco and Angela with discrete results, then came my turn with Kathrina , a true disaster, I remember only 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7... mmh I'm not sure I remember that don't all numbers have to be used.
But the topic couldn't be anything else of The Somelier english show, when he tried to analyze a Porto ( I'm not sure what wine it was), using english words.
We drunk a lot, and when I looked at the clock, it was only 9:30. In Sweden they ate very early in the evening at six more or less, so the party night are very long. At ten o clock we moved to a club to dance, and we enjoyed it a lot. It was gourgeous! How many lovely girls and what a mess we did!!!!!!
You can't believe it if you don't see it. I would that the night had never ended.
A nice event took to Giandu when a bodyguard wanted to get him out because he was sleeping with his hands covering his face, he thought it was very drunk. Luckily I arrived in the right moment and I talked with the bodyguard, Giandu was a bit stunned and didn't know what to say and to do.
In the way back for the series the world is little, we found an our old colleague, Mucciardi, a Padua student that was getting his degree in Stockholm. Incredible this is....
>THE THIRD DAY<
This night had been a very tough night, we went to sleep at 4 o clock, at 5:30 we had been woken up by some unbearable guys that make an incredible mess. After that at 6 I woke up with migraine, I hate it very much, Cioa woke up with a great headache, Giandu was a bit ill since the night before and finally we had to move to another hostel for the last night, and the check out was at eleven. You can imagine how we were after bringing the luggage at the new hostel, when we got breakfast at 12 in the central station. Therefore we took a wise choice, a relaxing walk in Djurgarder for the incoming day, with a quiet rest on a sunny bench after lunch. There are evidences about our condition, we seemed like zombies. We were out of work.
Before going on with the narration I must talk about the second time I felt in love, we were going to Djugarder in bus, seated in front of me there was one of the seven wonderful of the world, a magnificent blonde with green eyes coffee break. I really loved her for a while.
That evening we were expected the last crazy Stockholm night. Another great night.
But before there had been one of the greatest crises of the journey, second only to the risk of losing the flight at the departure. In the morning we took the luggage to the hostel, but we couldn't make the check in because it was after 2 o' clock. Coming there form the park we get a deviation to the hard rock cafe, one of the two great deviation that Tobyz proposed us. This deviation made us arrive to the hotel at 6:15, and the reception was closed from 6, we couldn't make the check-in!!! argh and now what we can do!!!!
the panic had the best of us. Till we saw the number of safety. As my name says I had to manage the emergency situation, it started an infinite series of phone called between me and the receptionist, useless to say that she was beautiful, ( we met her in the morning). Luckily they were prepared for these situations. Finally we got our rooms, so we had dinner than we exit for the last night. We went to a pub to drink a bear or a cider, with Marco and Angela I learned to love pear cider. Then we reached Fede, Claudia and the others and we went to another club, we were listed, ( to be listed it was only necessary to send a message by facebook...), but to enter without paying, it was necessary be in before eleven, when we arrived there was to much queue, so we decided for another club, near there. A pub where after a while they move out tables and let people dance everywhere. We had a very nice time, wonderful place, amazing friends!!!!! Tobyz tried his italian charme with a croatian girl, and then Cioa tried too, both without much success. But don't worry, be happy. We had a great time the same. At the end of the night we said goodbye to Claudia and Fede, two great fellow-travelers, and their erasmus friends Alex, Kathrina, Bastian, Arnaud, Stefy, Alex, Sara I'm sure I miss someone, I'm sorry.
Thank's all for the two crazy and amazing nights!!!!!! We enjoyed it a lot.
>THE LAST DAY<
The next day was the last, and the sadness came out, we wouldn't leave the Land of toys( side by side translation of Pinocchio “paese dei balocchi”)
Unluckily we had to do it, before going away we had a last landscape view from one of the best point of the city a bridge..... another fantastic deviation by Tobyz.....
the next steps are hard to tell, every walk step is a cut to the heart.
I think it's enough to say that Marco come with us to the airport, it has been very kind for all the trip, we say goodbye each other running to the plane. The journey finished how it began, running not to lose the flight!!!!
Stockholm we'll be back as soon as possible!!! I promise!
Legend
p.s. There is still a lot to say, but I wanna be merciful, especially with el Biondo, In these few days he collected a lot of blunder, as he told us that on sunday shops close at 12 and at 15 they were all, ALL open, as he tried to reach us that were in the west of Gamla stan, in Riddarholmen, and he understand we were in another island... as he told us that the sightseeing ships was at 11:30 when it was at eleven... and we lost it... these are only some of his numbers. But we love him the same! Thanks a lot Biondo.
At this point Cioa could think, great he forgot to mention about my shower. I'm sorry, I can't avoid it.
The first morning Cioa decided to have a shower, nothing strange in this, till he realized that he forgot the towel in the room... He started calling me whispering, without results, so finally when the door of the bath opened, he put out the head and asked a girl if she could bring him his his his, oh damn what's the english for it, he didn't remember the english for asciugamano... obviously he didn't find a wonderful sweden to help him.... poor Cioa, an ugly france girl arrived....
Oh my god, it's sooo looong!
RispondiEliminaCan I rent you to help writing my thesis? :D

I agree with On.Neckerz...I didn't remember we should have done all of that :) :)
RispondiEliminaI'm kidding of course!!

I didn't know where Ponch was, maybe he was in your home or he hid between us?!?!? :D
Bye
It takes too much writing in english, I'm sorry but I have to decline your request for writing also your thesis. I tried to cut the most things, more than this I couldn't do. I'm sorry.
RispondiEliminaPonch lost himself in the Hilbert space...
Hi. I would make a clarification.
RispondiEliminaI wasn't stunned, but I can't speak english and My first experience in a club to dance was really awful.
For all the rest was a fantastic holiday, including saturday night :)
