The video camera broke while we were traveling throughout Scandinavia (and Germany) so we decided to create a super cheesy video using only the still pictures, digi-cam based movies and our sweet wonderful voices.
The video includes pictures of Stockholm, Gothenburg, Kiel, Germany, Copenhagen and Malmo. We took over 300 or 400 pictures but only used about 30 pictures. To see the whole set, in full res, click over to the Gallery.
Enjoy!

On our way to Stockholm, Sweden from Lubeck, Germany we stopped off in Malmo, Sweden to see the sleepy commuter town. Malmo, although once a big part of Sweden appears little more than a commuter town now. It is currently midnight in California and 9am in Sweden (my current location) which makes me offficially 28 years old right now! Wow... 28.
I'm getting old.
We arrived in Gothenburg by train yesterday. A 5 hour train ride from Stockholm that cuts right through the middle southern half of the country. It was a beautiful train ride filled with everything green. Green trees, rolling green hills, Green grass, blue water.. green, greeny things.
We took the train from Stockholm to Gothenburg yesterday. It was a 5 hour journey with several stop offs as it crossed through the middle of the country. The train ride was absolutely amazing. The seats were plush, comfortable and all had amazing views. The "bistro" car looked as though it were straight out of the early 1900s perfectly preserved. You could tell at a glance that the trains were well used by the amenities on board (one of which included a half-car length children's play area), the upkeep of each train station and location of the train station (all of which were in the middle of town).
This is short video that doesn't show much. Its mainly just me saying hi.

We landed in Arlanda yesterday around 11:30am Sweden time; which is about oh-too-early NYC time. Flying time was only 7.5 hours but I spent time watching "Epic Movie" on the plane and eating my vegetarian dinner; which oddly enough had a chicken salad on the side.
The plane leaves at 10pm tonight. Newark non-stop to Stockholm, Sweden. Right now I'm sitting in front of my laptop waiting for Diana to get out of the shower so that I can pop in, shower, shave and put my brand-spanking new contacts in. It has been well over a year since I last wore contacts and I'm excited to have them again.
There is no sound and it makes absolutely no sense but I recorded this video en route to Sweden (direct to disk from Quicktime broadcaster). Anyhow... this is us on the plane en route to Stockholm, Sweden

Diana and I are off to Sweden for two weeks. Neither of us has been to Sweden before and we found really inexpensive airfare so we seized the opporunity. We have no plan, agenda or purpose for going other than to satisfy our curiousity about this country.
I'm crazy excited.
Finally after almost of week of attempts (and multiple calls to Malaysia) I was successful at ordering tickets!
We're going to Sweden in May!!! May 5th to the 19th to be more exact.
Total cost for 2 round trip tickets: $760 (after taxes, that's only 380/ticket... schweet!!)
Thank you Travelzoo and Malaysia Airlines. The next destination should be Malaysia now ;)
soooo.. anyone want a two-week sublet in New York?
