Scandinavian trip – part 2 – Stockholm

After a few days of well-needed relaxation, being in nature and out of working life, I had to face reality again. This trip came forth out of the need to do an abroad visit, right?

So maybe my stay in Stockholm is .. under-documented? In reality I spent tuesday-monday sitting in an office for the majority of the time. Sometimes I’d join some others in dinner, but mostly I was inside configuring and/or testing stuff.
So there just wasn’t all that much to document. Even in 7 days.

Upon initial arrival I wanted to park my car somewhere where it could stay for 7 days. Turns out some of he online information is outdated and Stockholm doesn’t really let you do that. Turns out the cheapest option was moving the car a few blocks every day and buying a new ticket for the next 24 hours.
I drove quite far away to try an area which allows parking for up to 3 days. The machine rebooted every time I tried to pay. Fuck.

Local public transport is terrific, as expected from a Nordic country. And some adverts are nice to look at 🙂

Fun telecom advertising

Also in this week, the release of Kung Fury (check it out if you haven’t seen it yet). I contemplated taking a train to Umeå, joining the official release and party with actors, director … But looked for a local screening when I found out how much the train would cost me. Also, how much time. (and I don’t have 80s clothes lying around)

Luckily we found that local screening. A sort-of-restaurant which is equipped for movies. Great fun!
