  Landet is where I was with my friends from Sweden and from Australia. In red light we looked at people, drank beer and saw a alternative rock duo, boy on guitar, girl on drums. We smuggled sake into the place and had to buy our drinks one floor down because of the lack of credit card terminals on the top floor.

  Fårö, spelled _Faroyna_ in 15th century Swedish, is a small (113 sq. km) island located just north-east of the larger island of Gotland. Until recently the island was a military protection area rigorously shielded from foreigners, but luckily that has changed now...

  When i moved to Bagarmossen, a little urban district in the south of Stockholm, I did not know of the Söderbysjön lake. But, as I saw all the other kids from school walking into the woods with towels and swimming wear I understood there was something special in there.

  Erik Gunnar Asplund (1885 –1940) is my favorite Swedish architect. I've seen some of his works, but I have to admit that when I stepped inside the Extension of the Göteborg Courthouse (1917-37), my heart almost stopped! It is still working as courthouse, and if you ask for taking pictures there is no problem.

  Maybe that restaurant is the coolest I ever been. You have to walk through a long long wood gateway (Långa bryggan) over the quiet sea of Öresund. At the end you will find a very small restaurant, where you could eat the finest smoked salmon, and a sauna: one for women, one for men. If your are brave enough, after spending some time in the hot room, you can have a bath!
