Sweden

Bought my first ever TOTO ticket today under the impatient guidance of Nicole Seah over the phone, while the aunty behind the glass judged me for a good 2 minutes. But we didn't win shit. Which was awfully upsetting given the fact that I spent my entire shower time (which is pretty long) fantasising about the wise and not-wise things I'd do with the money.

So whatever, here's Sweden photos from 1.5 years ago WOOHOO cheers to procrastination. 

We caught a 15h train from Stockholm up to Abisko to catch the Northern Lights and I blew the kind of money I'd be likely to spend on my honeymoon but it's fine because you get what you pay for. And also because I'll probably die a lonely soul so I guess we can consider the honeymoon already ticked off the to do list. 

One of the best trips on exchange, even though I had a gazillion doubts because of the price and usual uncertainty that clouds your ability to decide since the northern lights aren't always visible. Also, for 100 euros to go husky sledding I thought we'd be eating some huskies or on 700 thread count Egyptian seat covers or something but no. 

It's fine. It was good anyway, and Jo and I had plenty romantic moments lying in the snow in 6 layers of winter clothing, Northern Lights and star-gazing. (Hi jo i know u read dis I miss u)

Blur cos I'm a shit photographer

It really wasn't that green in real life everyone, don't be fooled. Its just that setting the camera on a longer exposure to capture the photo lets in more light so the green is brighter in photos.

It was still beautiful

But it wasn't Brother Bear-beautiful.

100 dollah for a view of dog butt.

Honestly one of the best experiences I've had in my entire life, literally dashing through the snow, with more snow falling around me, the crisp winter air smacking me relentlessly in the face and feeling every bit like a princess in a Disney movie.

Cooking a meatball dinner (cos Sweden) in our cosy af cabin

We only had about 3.5h in between our flight from Kiruna>Stockholm and Stockholm>Barcelona so we decided to do the only thing a decent human should when in Sweden --- visit a Swedish Ikea to eat authentic Swedish Ikea Meatballs. 

One more thing ticked off the bucket list. 

Thank you Sweden, you were too beautiful.
