How to not be a tourist in Stockholm.

The weekend just flew by, but it's been a crazy good time.

Shopping and Stureplan. After picking Ania up, we went to my former job to leave the car. There we met my ex boss, who was all excited about the new studios for some of the TV shows, so we got an "exclusive" tour. My plans were fairly open for the weekend but I was considering Old Town, especially since it was a gorgeous day. But then Ania said the magic words "Can we go shopping at anytime?" Most things we do together are extreeme, including shopping. 1 cardigan, 1 sweater, 1 pair of boots, 2 jeans leggings and 3 tank tops later I felt pleased and broke.
The Germans I met in Edinburgh always talked about Stureplan (a posh part of Stockholm, with many good clubs) so I had to take Ania there. After dinner and drinks we went to the club Café Opera (very nice setting) and met some interesting people. The 2 girls we met talked about how she was a traveler, a gypsy and proud of it. She was dating a gangster within one of the criminal motor cycle gangs... great. Her (drunk and sluty) girlfriend did not approve of this, so the discussion continued. We also got some first hand experience about silicon boobs... Those babes would have gone home with anyone...we were chocked, our new Dutch male friends were happy :P Anyways, the party contiued at Stureplan and the club Hell's Kitchen (open 'till 5am). More madness, drinks and dancing. The early morning ended with us trying to talk sense into a French guy and his girl issues. Don't think he was that happy cuz we weren't that nice, we just gave him strait answers. Love is blind and the truth ain't pretty.

Love at Café Opera

Romantic walks, soul and salsa. After having breakfast at 2pm, we went in to Stockholm again and walked in a nice area called Djurgården where there are parks, museums and cafés. The fresh air and gorgeous weather were very healing (and necessary) for us. I brought up the topic about the chocolate festival (best thing ever) and the exhibition of Dalí, but it didn't quite suit our mood so we found a nice café with a garden where we were hiding the entire afternoon instead =)
Back to my parents house for dinner with some other friends, reloaded and went back to the city, preparty and mojitos. When the entire group were in the mood, we went salsa dancing. So much fun, such a cool place. Feels very genuine, fun people, hot and loads of dancing (my muscles still hurt). 2 guys were working A (without any luck of course) while I was working my hips on the dancefloor. When we've had enough of our latino fix, some of us continued at the soul club Fashing. Cool people, great atmosphere and music. More dancing! Great time, knew that would suit A's taste a bit better =)

So what about the tourist things? Well I'm not a completely failed guide, she got to see most of the "real" Stockholm but also a bit of Old Town. You see, I succeeded with some "must sees" at least.
Being dead tired today I'm back in Jönköping. Guess I should be stressed out about all the exams and seminars this week... but just not yet.
