Thank you

Thank you for being part and a follower, a reader and most of all for the interrest you had on my topics. 

Now as you see I have not written for a while and it is because things changed and not only had I less time, I even wondered what to write about and why... Yes, I still have many themes but just now no feeling for writing again and again and on and on... 

To get yourself a blog successful is above all- a lot of work and can stress you sometimes. I want to write with happiness and because I have something to tell and believe it could be something you like. 

I will maybe start a new blog in the future, but this one is now at the finish line. 

I wish you all the very best and just love and light and to be able to see the positive and happy things and cherish them and fight for them. You are always welcome to re-read my entrys as they will be still able to look up, but there will be no new one. 

Thank you, thank you and ...

LOVE & LIGHT

while I am taking a walk...

I can discover beauty and one of the things which are beautyful is art. Sometimes obvious, sometimes, hidden, sometimes in a way you wonder is it art or can this be just trash. While the world seems to be in chaos again, thought the world was always in some way in chaos or in motion, I cannot deny that I always look out what is on my way to like. So as I am in Sweden, as you may know, near my working place is a stonewall and it is a naturally one and on this wall artists have painted some more or lesson vissible faces and others.
They worked with the stone and the play of sun and shadow.
And here are the results and today it is just this.
Not much to read, it's a walk  at a galery outside. Kind of. Enjoy!

LOVE & LIGHT

Europa, my Europa

...where are you going to? Asking myself this, while sitting in the sun with a coffee, after the rain has gone.
After all the last days, you may feel far to powerless and with less hope for a brighter future, even more lookin' on the world news. Yes the news are something we need and a thing we know not to be all true, but also there is truth in them.
You may wonder how people can love a dictator. You may wonder how people can vote for someone who is not interessted in a god future for them. You may wonder how this all happend, thought you know and forgot to remember. There have been warnings. There have been signs, but you hoped to stay blind would avoid them to get bigger, badder and the so (part) of the world would not become mad.
Now you say you don't understand this world anymore, not even your little Europe.
It's like your friend has moved without telling you and the post office is informing you that he is not living there on that special place anymore. And you have waited oh so many times and now you can't anymore, but all is different. And you don't have an answer in your hand.
But did we.. do we not share the same time in our life? Do we not share the same mind of this world? Do we not have the same earth? We pray, we pray for so long and for each and every town and place, for those people affected of all the crimes.
Don't we go on the same way here on earth? Do we not search for the future?
For a tomorrow, for a better, for all?
We push, we wish, we take and give, we live but where has the love gone? We wonder. We fear.
We want to cry, we want to scream. How can this go on? So we pray for the world. Again and again.
Yes, a pray is making a wish, but we all know that this is all but enough.
We feel it is enough the way it is going, but some hide in the old ways, some are so afraid of future and new ways and some have learned to listen just to the loudest voice instead of the wisest.
We need more than a wish. We need acting and that is one of the god results with all the drama going on. People wake up. Going on the streets. Even though some only to try to push all back into the closet. They decided to stay blind, even thought this is impossible. But there out there are those who decided to open their eyes and try to help. Try to change and find a new way into future. Not sitting on a park beanch until someone comes to kiss them. They start to rethink.
Yes, even when it does not feel like this, because of the news, in the background is a change going on. Thought I believe it will be no easy change and I believe there will be more than just one crash on the way and it will be loud and of pain until we lost most of the things we keep to stay blind, but we never needed to survive. 
Not only history seems to repeat itself faster, even the wakening is going faster.
We see the lies, before the news is telling us. We have understood that politic is in it's system now nothing which can go on the way it does.
But like it seems we need the drama to make people start rethinking and also to understand, that if we want a change, we have to start with ourself, with what we teach and tell.
Even the most positive human has to remind himself once in a while that when the shadow is bigger than before and ever and war is on the way, that there is always a light somewhere and in front of your eyes the beauty is not to hide or deny.
So we just have to take it step by step, but be loud, be out and to be seen. The time for silence is over. The time for not knowing is over.
And yes, I know I could get mad just by thinking about how human can believe that another man is less worth than yourself and even more when they are religious, as there is the saying that we are all from Adam and Eve.
So breath, breath and look up. Focus on what we can do and lets do it for heavens sake!
Let love speak. Lets make the revolution of love get bigger, as this is one of the things to get into a better future, no matter how hard the fight.
Nothing is sure anymore and I believe the hate is getting stronger, but so will our love.
No place is safe anymore, but this is our chance to change!
Which you all the light and the love for this way, our way!

let me shine you a light!

To make my last post complete, I search a bit in my mind to find something positive for you. 

Not all is going bad. Actually more things became better. 

Poverty has lessen and more people reach clear water. We know more about the side effects of things we use and can help make them smaller or even avoid them. 

Medicine is getting better and we mix the western with the eastern versions. 

The awarness of what we can do and that change is only to come with your acting is becoming stronger. There are quite a lot of project going on to save the earth, the nature, to heal and save animals and to try to fix what we've damaged. 

We have actually less war going on, even thought those happening now are quite aggressive and much buidl on hate, blindness and propaganda. 

We are the generation who lives longer, everywhere on the world. 

We started to protect what our history has left us to remind us and to learn from it. 

Yes, I know lots of people still thing it is getting worse and when you read the news and hear the politic warnings, it is no wonder, but let's get and keep some facts straight from the actual situation. 

Irrational fear is growing and we need to lower it down again. We don't live in the end of time and just think about how we lough about the fact that TV was once unbelievable and called evil.

Humans tend to believe more negative about the things around them as they are. Even more nowadays and populist loves that. They can catch your eye and ear just by loveing your fear. 

There is a study and even when you don't like them at all, just listen... starting in Britain 2013 and becoming biger with the years and now contains 33 countries. People have been ask what they believe about things in their country. So let's take the part of where they talk about foreigners. Refugees and a like. In Britain they believed that 24% are coming from the outside, when in fact it is only 13%. In Sweden it was much the same. In Brasilien people believed that 25% are not born in their country when in fact the number is only 0,3%. 

More important becomes it when it is about the "muslim". The fear that they invade us. Well in Britain people believe they have 21%, when the real number is only 5%. This kind of answere came nearly everywhere the same and the actual number is simmilar low to the Brittish. 

Now when it is about crime, we tend to believe it became much more, much, much more, when in fact the whole numbers are going down, only in some areas of crime they went up, but not everywhere. Mostly in towns. 

So our reality we see is food for the far right and left and for the religious, for all those who want to have power over people and destroy democracy and free will. We will be more easy to bring to the point to like war and weapons. To hate and demand laws against the strangers. We believe we have to protect our property more and harder. 

But we are also capable to see that people can see, wake up and stand up. Orlando shows us and the Brexit, that we still have fire and hope, that we still care and love and have empathy and the will to fight for a better world as we not only want to sing -Imagine-. More and more people change their habbits and try to help and change the world for real and have understood that we did mistakes, but we can still do better. Our economy is better than politics will make us believe and we are less in need of the money as they believe. We can survive as we already did several times. Human race never needed a power who claims to know better as the common people and gets all the money, because little Joe is to dumb. But little Joe can be happy, lucky without the fucking money. Systems have change again and again. Why not now? It is always possible, as long we really want to. 

And see, people seem to care about the future. Even thought we still have no idea how it should be, it's the beginning. Nature is also stronger than we believed and can regenerate. Yes, we have quite a lot god to fight for. Let's keep that in mind. 

Love and Light

How will I know

Thought I wrote a several times about how press is having it's way and how it changed and what the problems are, we still face the situation that we all have to ask ourself while reading a newspaper or watching the news: How will I know this story is true? How do we know this demonstration they show is big, when we know it is a question of ancle to make a small crowed big and a big crowd small? How do we know this is important to our life what we hear, when we find on the internet the question of why this and that has not been shown. Is one more worth than another?
But let's be true, this world is full of information. When you want the people to know all of them you'll never reach the end of day. So you have to decide which will makes its way and the thing is, there is no neutral way to decide. It is simple impossible. So when a shooting has been happen, another will be there too and you have to decide what will make the prime time news. This is all about politics, which country we are living in and which system we are part of. Sadly the press is making lines not stories in most ways and this has always been part of the whole thing but became more the common thing now.
Why? Money! Less money, less journalist who got job at the press company and so more are freelancer and therefore have less time to research and are in need to sell. So that's why we lost many of the good stories and neutral sights.
But there is another thing. How do we learn to read a newspaper. Most of us don't and that is why they have so easy to sell, to rule and make people think in a certain way and that is why populist have easy to reach out. It is actually nowadays a paradox we live. We know much of what we read is not the way they write or even true to the actual point and what politic and moneymakes say is mostly beyond the truth. We know that but we love to believe the stories we read as we want to believe, the world is not all lies. Psychology is saying this since a couple of years, to explain the reason why we fall for the lies even when we see it, even when we should know it and why we decide to stay blind, even when you should not miss it, as things are obviouse. The Brexit is the youngest example of how stupid we have become and how less we believe the press and politics. You know they claim not having the information to know the truth, but it all was out there, they did not listen. Simple as that, people just don't listen anymore and the speeding up of lessen the concentration has start with private TV. Sience has last year shown with studies that the averrage concentration time is now max 8 minutes and we had once 12 for one news. Sounds not that much but as you know we can tell a lot in one minute. So the stories has to be told in a much shorter time and became more or less bad and less exactly and to the true point. You have no time anymore to show both sides of a thing.
This is another reason why it feels again, that the world is going down, thought there are so many good things going on and also getting stronger, while the hate and negative things also get clearer. But remember this is part of a process and we are far from the end. We have to focuse on the positive. But how do we know them?
Instinct. It's in yourself. How can we change to a better? Be smart and start with yourself and the people around you. And learn questioning what you read. Why do they just now talk about this and that, what is the reason, who is behind and what is going on in the same time? And yes, we have to take the time to search by ourself as many so called -true free press sides- are fake and spreading lies and hate and want to make people angry and unsure about others and at the end everything, because when you are upset, you are easy to lead.
I see this on Facebook. Those so called shooking news and question why no one is writing or talking about this or that drama, why it seems that press is only showing up when a special group is doing something bad and not the other one. The truth is often very simple. The story is false or it is just that--> We decide it by ourself and so the press is following the way and even more in many parts of this world the press has no way in the name of the readers. It goes the way of money. You know... No consequenses are on the way for them. So it is of course easy to use them.  And populist and extrem people and oranisation sure do.
Just lets take the fact that "muslim" are one week good, the next week bad and no one really takes a closer look and no one really comes to the point and say how it is. Clearly this does not sell, but you got upset and your friend to and for two different reason on the same object and as you both claim the press has shown the truth or facebook, you believe to be on the right line, but the truth is- both are and non is.
Oh for christ sake! How can this be?! Simple. We are humans, many times stupid, know far to less, got more information on our way than we can handle and have never really learned to search by ourself and then the things with wisdom, which is not we get by just saying hi. Wisdom is not information, it is the life that makes you know what could be right and wrong and what is important. We forgot actually to remember what is really important.
We focus on things we don't need. And we know that. Crazy, isn't it!

So how will I know? I just try to take more than one newspaper to get information and use my brain, search on the internet and read books and after all listen, listen to what people say and try to understand and listen to myself.
The rest is hope, as all we do hope for a better, no matter what the reason. If we learn and we always have to learn, we will know we are never perfect and never will be finished, but we will be able to open our focus and the way we see the things, our world.
So.. Let's put together our head with the body, as it is never functional if only one part rules. This is our seekness this time. The body is ignoring the mind and the other way 'round. Disconnected.
But things are much better than we hear and it is always the right time to start again.
Everything we need we have. So let's use it!

Are you feminist?

                                  

I never thought about that until a doctor asked me that at work.  In Sweden it is not such a strange thing that men call themselves feminist. 

And while I just thought about equality for the LGBTIQ community, it came again to my mind that this is also something we deal with on and on. 

But what is a feminist nowadays? It sure is not only a woman fighting aggressive for her rights. It’s not only fighting for being part of the congress, getting the laws changed and fighting together as black and white.

It has become more. Women fight loud but also in silence and they fight on different places. Now it’s education, family times and still family planning or also called Planned Parenthood.  They also fight for same wage as this is still unbelievable unfair and women now have understood that they have to demand men to fight with them, to understand deep inside that what they seek is right and has to make into reality.

You know it is unbelievable that we after 100 years since the women started to fight for equality have not come that far.  Why is it so hard to achieve success? Is it that we went more silent after the 80tis? Is it that young women have to discover feminist for themselves and make it their own thing? Find new ways and remember that being loud is still necessary. 

So a man fighting along side by side with a woman is a feminist?

Thought as far as I remember what I have read, most of those men still are very much living the cliché and those 50/50 thing is more a which, than reality, in everyday life and also those men pay women less than for a man.  Women are many times o.k. with this, or believe it just is that way or even more it has to be, thought they should know better.  But yes, we have still also those women who truly believe a woman has to be home, make children and her husband has to bring home the money. They believe women should not have extra rights- and this is the problem! It’s not about extra rights it’s about to get the same rights, to have the same possibilities and choices.  Sure in many ways men and women are different, but that does not mean they are weaker, or less worth, or should have less rights as they can be smart the same as men and work hard as a man and even feel. They can make decisions and those without being victims of hormones. Many forget that men have also hormones, which makes them act stupid.

And why is it still a problem to live out sexuality as women? Why is it still for men and women a problem if a woman gets a divorce, but not when the man does? That’s bigotry and lying to yourself about what and who we are. 

But back to men who are called feminist. They are no less man of course, thought many would like to call them so. They fight for women rights; sometimes they just call it a fight for equality. And without men the revolution will not succeed in the end. We always need both sides.  And also those men who just fight and are into equality. Like myself, a man who does not call themselves a feminist.

But let’s be true, we do to less and women also stand in their own way. We have to try harder but how can we make others understand that the time is now, not tomorrow as it can be too late then or even harder to achieve things. As this is a question of power, of money and who will lead the world. It is a question of peace and war and where we put each other. It is a question of respect and empathy.  Things the new generation of feminist have to understand and some already work that way. The older generation is looking back and into the future and will hope that we go on fighting as they see how hard it still is, how unequal we act and how hard some groups fight to get women back into the dark age again. So we have to talk, to teach and be visible.

May you call yourself a feminist or not, but start discussing what went wrong, to know our history and what should we do and how can we prepare our children to not do the same mistakes or act the same unequal way. Yes, it starts with how we teach them, how uncles, mothers and grandparents act and all those other folks. Only together we will make it better as it is not enough when just parents make it right. 

Let's think about it with Love & Light

Enough is enough

Enough is enough!

Stop hating us!

I'm tired of your excuses!

I'm less on your lies!

I'm less on your stupid religious!

I'm less on your blindness!

I'm human as you!

I deserve to live a life!

A good life!

I deserve the same rights!

Wake up! It's time!

I want future!

How dare you to shoot me! How dare you to only love some of gods children! How dare you to not even try to think and act with your heart! How dare you to prefer to kill and call us the devel, when you are the one! How dare you to call yourself victim, when the truth is you try to make us to be such! How dare you to say we are the reason why things went wrong, when the truth is, that you are the reason! How dare you to blame us for everything bad that happens, when you are part of the mess!

I am so less! I am so less! I wont stand your bigotry any longer! I can't let you go free! You are not china, you are not save! Because you are afraid you want us back in the closet but I am never going to do that! I have a right, the right to live my life as you without fear, in freedom and peace. I deserve your respect even when you don't understand all I do! 
All the hate you spreed shows how weak you are and how stupid you prefer to stay. 
I won't make it easy for you! Just because you don't want to deal with human nature. Just because you prefer to live a lie. 

Far to long we fight for something very natural. Far to many times you denied listen to love, even when you prayed love yourself. I demand you to stop hating! I demand you to listen now! I demand you to put away all the weapons and face your own fear! I demand you to take us seriously and part of this world! I demand you to finally see the truth, that we are like you! No better, no worse, not nicer, not weaker, nor stronger, just like you! 

I am so less, so less and pitty you, but also I want you to change into better. Your better future is not to get with our better future. Any future will only arrive when you let the past gone by and look up and avoid being blind. Our future is only to get together in equality! 

Love is Love and Enough is Enough!

The Alien, the Prince and the Boxer

What do they all have in common?

They’re all man. They’re all unique. They all payed a high price. They all had quite a life.

They’re all dead.

They all have been one of the reasons why we live the way we do today- so they all are a reminder of a fight, because they all have been fighters. But they are also a reminder, that we still fight the same things, deal with the same theme. Sadly.

They all crossed borders and showed that the world is not black and white. They showed the world that it is o.k. to be who you are and that equality is a reason to fight for. Yes, they took up equality before we thought about it again and they even haven’t been the first ones. Already in their lifetime they thought that it was time for a real change. Wish we still need. Sadly, things went just a bit better, but not as far as they should be.

The Boxer showed how to be a man abroad the clichè he himself seems to be. That being a coloured human means to be strong as any other human and that this is the reason to be treaten equaly. Much the same it was with the Prince. Showing the world that being a man means more then just macho. But he was disciminate as black, yes he was put in the box as such, thought he was not and much more. MTV denied him the same rights as other artist, as they put him in the black box untill they understood he was universal, should be treaten the same. The Prince even was not only clourblind, he even did not care about your gender, your sexuality. Just like the Alien, who thought us that  man can be women enough and be an in between. That things in life are colourful and all but black and white.

But still we differ in black and white, in man and women, in different rights. Gender and sexuality still are an issu to discriminate and even the clour of your skin can make your life harder, less fair.

How can this be still going on? How can people still believe that one is better than the other, that there is reason to believe equality should not be a reality. How can the conservative and far right and sometimes far left too still tell people to think in hate. Have they been so lucky and got the success to keep people stupid and make them stupid again? And why are those who know better not fighting harder, doing more, are louder and mor to see? Why are so many in silence? Have they given up because they have been thought their is no chance? Have we heard too many lies?

How come that women fight against women and want them to be stupid, weak and just home and a birth machine? How come that black and coloured people fight for  those who don’t want them to see as equal? How can homosexuals fight against themselfs? How can it be that a man still has to be macho? How can it be that we teach children on and on that they are not worth the same, not worth having the same rights. We know so much better, but most of us seem to teach them the old clichè.

And religious organisation are going on in pressing people into stereotypes and have the success to impress with lies and people have been getting so used to the fact that they can get away with crime.

But children use to be colourblind and without hate and make no difference between them.

We teach them. Why don’t we stop?

Why are we so silent about this fact? I wonder on and on why people have easy to go on the streets in the name of hate but not in the name of love, justice and equality? Why do so many think it won’t help. Or do they believe it is not important? It’s a paradox, that they believe in hate fights that politic can do a change, but not when it is about a better future. Or isn’t this a paradox at all?! Is it the fear that keeps them believing that the ”god” ol’ way is best, even know that this is untrue?! Is it that we lost faith in change as we tried it so many times in history and again and again we fell. Have we forgot that the rules of nature are part of our life too?

We are the generation who should know best, but it seems we don’t.  When I search the internet and read the papers, there is no way to find to achieve higher arwareness, no new way to make people change their mind. No way to get them up and on the street for a real change.

Will the things we do now be enough? Can we wait any longer? But I guess we have to have patience, have to have faith in time. We have to believe that people will one day see. But when, when will this be? So I guess we have to go on, even when we feel tired, even when we fail, fall back, when we have to fight again and again until we are there we want to be, have to be as human kind.

When will people feel, we all deserve the same rights as I always felt it that way. I could never understand, that people make difference.

another vinyl another artist-

Actually I wonder if his music ever was to find on a CD. Maybe when you look under Jazz in your store. 

He is not so well known, but was in his time one of the best singers in Jazz/ Swing and went on to populare Hollywood music. Very much alike Frank Sinatra. And most people who knew both would not have said that one has been better then the other. As far as I know.
He was inspiring, someone with a passion and who knew to entertain.

When he made this vinyl he was just 30 years old but already has been in the show business about 25 years. 

So, no wonder he sounds very good and smooth. His songs like cremé and chocolade are pure enjoyment, thought most of them ar slow songs on this album as it was quite popular to have music to just listen to at home. 

Mel Tormé and his -It's a blue world- album is worth listening and gets never boring. No it is not a sad love song album or just an album with songs of depression and -all is hopeless- feelings. Not at all. It's quite positive, romantic and he interprets the songs with such a warm voice and deep feeling, you can't deny it makes you dream. Although this music is not that popular anymore these days, I will say you should try it no matter what, and let those songs sink into you. 

Yes, most of the songs are called classic and some are maybe still known these days.

12 songs, that's not bad, isn't it? Perfect for an afternoon with tea or coffee or even a glass wine. And you will wonder why he is so unknown, but I guess it's the way it is. Some become the big stars, others are just good singers and artist and you know what.... no matter what.... enjoy them!

Dealing with depression

Actually I wanted to write about this disease and some things around it, but as I just had another shocking experience, I decided to write about us, who have not to deal with this disease but with people who have depression. 

To make it clear, if you never had a depression you will never to the fully understand it. 

It's impossible, thought even the people who have it have hard to explain. 

You can read books about depression and talk to people who open up about living with it. You even find on the internet versions of expressions like a big shadow is over you or that depression is like a dog who follows you and gets bigger and bigger until he is much bigger than you and you can't handle the dog any longer. He even is that big that you can't see the door out. 

Yes, in the beginning most affected don't see the signs themself, later they try to deal with it all alone until they finally search for help and sadly as it is many have hard to find a good therapist and the doctor/ medicine. That means depression is getting bigger and heavier. 

So we who have not the problem have hard to understand how it is not to be able to get up, to see things positive, to have problems to achieve something, even the smallest things. Yes it is hard to understand how they feel and how their motion is. Words can't describe and mostly whatever we say to get them up can bring them down and also make them feel pressure. 

I have some friends with depression and it is part of my work to deal with this disease but even I am not fully prepared for what can come. 

You know the way we see the world is not how they see it, even thought we use the same words. I had the bad luck to use a sentence which hurt that friend. I never meant to and for most of us it would not be a problem but it was. That's what I know now. 

So... I can give as many apologies as I feel but will he understand and take it? 

Yes, missunderstanding can easely happen between all of us but with people who have depression the danger is higher. One reason is, they often don't talk about their disease. Another is they, like many other people, react not immediately. And one of the most important thing is the -I feel fine- game. 

They often don't tell you how they really feel. It's hard but you have no chance but to trust that their words are true. That makes of course things complicated. When do you know they don't act and tell how they feel? And they used to be very good actors. 

The reasons are many. 

But that means you can feel everything is fine when it is not, but how could you know? 

I'm sorry if I touch a wound of another person, and more I am sad, as I did not know that it was a problem. 

I do my conversation in good spirit and never liked to be nasty.  I do critises but try always to put myself into it too. Things are for me never black and white. 

The thing is, someone who has depression can take even the smallest thing hard if you have bad luck. 

I know that, but it is always a shock when they crash frontal into me and deliver the knife I have put in them, even I was totally unaware of it. All I can say is sorry and all we can do is to hope that the other person will accept it. If all goes fine you have a good finish, but the risk that the other person will break with you and stay mad at you is high. 

You can't do much about it. Take it as it is and hope the best. 

Now we could say handle with care and watch your words but how much may I ask. 

I won't take them as china as this will kill all possibilities of having fun and you will never have the chance to get to know each other more and better. 

Yes, I have to look over things they do, have to look over many times to reactions they have, or of the way they act as they don't see it themself, or they act a strange way because they feel high, or unsure. 

Serenity is important when you deal with those people who are struggling and fighting and also hope for a better future, who are having their ups and downs as all of us, just more extreme sometimes. 

Yes, we deal with depression, that's all we can do. 

We will never understand it 100%.

discover old vinyl... today la Streisand

Yes,it is about Babs before she became really famous. 

Some of you may remember that she did TV shows in her beginning and showed how good she already has been then. 

And as it is those songs have been banned on vinyl. So we can hear them again and again and again. 

I was not exactly looking for that vinyl of hers but found it.

Since then I looked up the same vinyl to see what the prices are and interessting thing is, the prices differ quite a bit from very cheap to quite expencive. And also different countries made up different prices. And I am talking about the original vinyl. 

Anyway the album contains all the classic from that time and some are still famous today and well known like - Happy days are here again- or -cry me river-. 

The nice thing with this album is, it shows la Streisand as a young girl, with a young voice just before she got better and better and even that young lady was more then promising. 

What a wonderful sound, though it is a soft album and not a dance album but if you look at the most ablums from these days, they are made for chilling and listening to great music and enjoying a soul, an artist. This album is after all a quite perfect production and not a single song is making the enjoyment less. 

So look up your parents vinyl collection and listen to it again..... Have fun.

Shizmo on journey

The secret brother of Gizmo is again on a journey. Taking the flight over the clouds. 

Spring is already in Berlin, will this be the same in Stockholm?

Now back to Stockholm another time- Shizmo felt happy and did not waste any minute. 

Visiting friends and being in the Globe to see a concert. 

He visited the Gamla Stan and eat in exelent coffees the Gladkaka and enjoyed the view over town, the Vasa Museum and the park Skansen. It is always nice to walk through Gamla Stan and being in the clubs at the evening to drink a beer with friends. 

Of course you must be also on the other side of the river and therefore from Gamla Stan.  

Shizmo could shop and look for vinyls there and end up near the Theater. 

But again he went to the Gamla Stan as there is also the castle, the parliament and the wonderful views in the afternoon.

click on the pics!

click on the pics- this is Parliament house

click on the pics! and there getting big!

Later it was taking a walk around one of the Islands where the salt water meets the sweet water. Where modern houses meet the old typical swedish Sommarstuga. Where the train is next to you when you take the brigde.

Underground driving next to you- same with cars and behind us is Gulmarsplan station

So yes, spring has arrived in Stockholm like you can see on the pics and there is wood to in town. The air is therefore better then in many big towns. By the way Shizmo felt that it is true, that Stockholm is expencive. But always worth a try. Like London. Thought those towns are different and better not to compare.

After all this he went on with the train over the whole south of Sweden to see that it is in fact true what you read about Sweden. All those typical houses. Well, gets a bit boring after a while. Nice but not much differnece between the towns, villages and so it is to enjouy the nature, the fact that the train drives next to lakes. In fact sometimes just two steps away. And he has the luck that nothing went wrong with taking the train as there is the warning that each second time you'll have to expect something going wrong or similiar.

Gothenburg/ Göteborg Central Station

Gothenburg it was then and here spring had arrived a bit earlier and anoter view and wonderful days have been to catch. All is smaller, but cheaper and more calm. 

Well Shizmo was at friends and brought them also flowers of spring, which cost three times more the in Berlin. Beauty can cost money, but are we lucky to have friends, so we don't care about prices. By the way one or better two of the best vinyl stores is near the Järntorget Place.  Now the last pics and we wish you a wonderful spring and week.
