stockholm

in the last swedish lession i learned: jag tänka dricka en flask rödvin på tisdag!
but thats not all we are doing here. almost everyday we have got lectures at the university and -should- start with learning swedish and write our papers we need for the other lectures.
beside of that we have time for doing some old fashioned city sightseeing.
visiting all those touristic sights feels usually for me like beeing a tourist, but not this time. it feels more like this is my hometown where i live. so stockholm is quite familiar to me, yet.


looks like an atomic bomb but its just the lovley sunset behind the old town - gamla stan - in the city center.

inside of gamla stan - stortorget; this is also the square, where the nobel museum is located
the 1628, during the mermaid cruise, sunken warship - VASA of the king gustav II adolf.
in 1961 the ship was lifted to the surface, cleaned and restaurated and is now a museum.
next to the vasa museum there is the aquaria vattenmuseet, the aquarium of stockholm. they have some riff and leopard sharks as well as some poisonous coloured frogs and some other fishes.
here´s a black-yellow "nemo" clownfish
