Drottningholm Palace Theatre


This is something like an opera house which is located at Drottningholm Palace. This place can be crowded during summer due to the many festivals being held. Surely a place not to be missed when you visit Drottningholm Palace. It was built in year 1766 and until now it's still nicely maintained.

Sweet dream


My sister took this picture when I was sleeping this morning. At least I know now how do I sleep.

Drottningholm Palace



The Drottningholm Palace is the private residence of the Swedish royal family. You can go there by taking a boat from Stockholm city during summer. The ride is quite lovely and romantic.



Just see what happened to the lake during winter.

Only in winter






No, this is far more beautiful than laser show that normally you see during fun fair. This is what the famous "Northern Light" is all about. The picture only describes 5% of the feeling when do you see it live. It's relaxing, calming and stunning to see the light dances in the sky.
For those who are serious to catch this, you should come to sweden between September and October or March to April. This is a thing not to be missed if you are in Sweden during winter.

Winter is beautiful





In fact it's equally beautiful with the other 3 seasons.

Fun in winter


Who says you can't have fun in winter? You can indeed! Winter sets in roughly from Nov 1 to March 21, and you need to be a little creative to enjoy the moment.

For those who enjoys skiing, north of Sweden offer a perfect spot for that.

Map of sweden


This is the map of Sweden. I live in Kista, which is a district under Stockholm Municipality. Do notice our neighbouring countries like Denmark, Norway and Finland. Together we are known as Scandinavian.

Topless swedish

I got this news from this link. I think it's outrageous, and although I consider myself as liberal, but I don't think I'm that liberal.

SWEDISH women have launched a campaign to fight for the right to go topless on beaches and in swimming pools, saying they have just as much right to go without clothes as men.
Scandinavian feminists were outraged when two women were asked to cover up their breasts by a lifeguard at a public pool near Stockholm, the Daily Mail's Metro.co.uk website reported.
"If women are forced to wear a top, shouldn't men also have to?" said one of the women, 22-year-old Ragnhild Karlsson.
Now women in southern Sweden have set up the Bara Bradiost network, which translates as Just Breasts.
"We want our breasts to be as normal and desexualised as men's, so that we too can pull off our shirts at football matches," said a spokeswoman for the group.
The campaign's strategy has reportedly been a raging success, with members of Just Breasts jumping into swimming pools across the country wearing nothing more than bikini bottoms.
The country's equal opportunities ombudsman will decide whether or not to take up the case on behalf of the women later this month.
