Stlm by day

Last week end was the occasion to spend more time in Stockholm, capital of Sweden, a town that I would recommend to anybody! It is one of these big towns - an urban population of around 1,200,000 - that has kept its tradition and charm while being very modern at the same time. No skyscrapers but some very high churches, the architecture is very nice! Nevertheless, I noticed this sort of American side of Sweden, that might just be the consequence of a country that lacks a strong culture in domains like gastronomy or entertainment, in the invasion of so many foreign fast foods downtown, or the fashion of girls that reminds me of New York! These are assumptions as I don't know the country enough, and the restaurant where I ate dinner was a really good quality-price ratio!



Stockholm was also for me the occasion to visit the Vasa Museum and Skansen, two great places! The Vasa Museum is in a sort of island which looks very nice and seems dedicated to entertainment. I was amused by the story of the ship and fascinated by the museum, which was much more interesting that museum I usually visit. Skansen was also amazing with so many different animals and a funny site that is convenient to visit. It has also been a while I didn't see any "exotic" animal! I recommend both of them!
