Stockholm weekend.

so, this weekend i went to Stockholm. It was the second time i had been there, and it was amazing fun. Friday- after school, i came home and quickly got ready and caught the train with my host Mum. We then caught the metro, but we were going different places, so she told me where to get off. I got off at the right stop, and then had no idea where to go ( i was staying at my host sisters, and i had only been there once). But after waking around for about 10mins, i found where i had to be. It felt so good knowing i did it all by myself. We went to Jensens Bofhus for dinner (danish steak house) and it had an all-you-can-eat ice cream buffet; my wendys skills came in handy :) We then caught the metro home and headed off to bed. Saturday- i caught the metro into Stockholm central station, and had to try find my friends at McDonalds. i had no clue where to go, and when there are so many people around you, running, talking in a different language, it can be a little stressful. i eventually found it, all by myself again, and we sat there for a while, and then headed out into the city. We really didnt do much, just met up with other people and had fika and stuff. i wanted to go to the English Shop, were they sold tim tams, but it was closed when we got there. I also tried Max (fast food, like McDonalds, but 1000x better. it was so good). Lachlan, Oscar, Jacqui (Australians), Riley (USA) and I went back to Oscars place, and got ready to go to Experience. It was an +16 event, where there was live djs and the biggest laser show in Scandinavia. It was so so so much fun. we just danced, and met a few people. I would love to go to the next one. When we left, we had to RUN to the metro, and we got there just in time to get on it. When Jacqui, Lachlan and I got to our next train, it had been cancelled, so we ended up having to figure out different busses and trains to take. We found our way close to where Lachlan lived, but then had to walk, as we got lost. We made it home though. But what was supposed to be 40mins, took us about 2 hours. Sunday- we got into the city about 9:30, and nothing opened til 11. so we sat in a cafe, and fika. We then met up with some of the other exchange students in Stockholm, walked around for a bit, then had more fika. We then split up, and Oscar, Riley, Lachlan, Jacqui, Thomas and I went into the city, and walked around. We had more fika, and Jacqui bought a phone and camera, as she lost hers at Experience. We seriously did nothing all day, except walk around and have fika. i got the train home around 6:30, and slept pretty much the whole way. Now, i am packing for my trip to Kiruna with rotary. Its gonna be a lot of fun, and i can't wait to see everyone :)
