SWEDEN! Took the train up and had most of 1st class all to myself which was pretty cool. Swedish and Danish are pretty similar languages, only they have different letters. Basically a "o" in Danish converts to "å" in Swedish and is pronounced sort of like a "oer" or German "ö" sound. Hooray languages!
Met Sim and Harry at the train station and then we got to play luggage tetris. We had a bunch of bags and we didn't want to tote them around the city for like 3 hours so we forked out 30 krona (about 3€) for a giant locker which I could have easily fit in. When that was done we went for some coffee and everyone here speaks English and were really nice! They were also insanely tall and gorgeous and it was kind of disturbing. We went into a bank and you know how sometimes on the side of the door they have those ruler things with the different height measurements in colored sections so that if you rob the bank they know how tall you are (e.g. between 170 and 180cm or whatever), well in Sweden the lowest height measurement they have on their doors are 160cm! So in theory I could rob a bank in Sweden and all they would know was that I was ridiculously short. Hahahaha. 
Anyway, after coffee Petter and Andreas came and got us when they had finished work. It has been two years since I have seen these guys (bögs in Swedish, hahahaha) but it was like nothing had changed.
We went to Andreas' place and got pizzas and went to the grocery store - I really like reading things out in Swedish because it is fun!! Andreas says that I sound like a drunken Dane when I speak, and he says that Danish people sound like they talk with porridge in their mouths, and Norwegian people talk really chirpily. Anyway, we basically just ate and hung out and it was as if no time had passed at all.
