As the week is coming to an end, which means that Friday is right here, and the days are getting darker, tt's time to talk about fredagsmys! As you may know, or not, fredag means Friday and mys is the word for coziness in Swedish. Sweden, being such a mysig country, it would be weird to use cozy instead. Don't you think? After working the entire week, what everyone wants to do when Friday comes is coze up a bit and relax. So that is why Swedes have fredagmys! And there is even a "typical" way of celebrating it!

For many Swedes, it is all about tacos or godis (sweets), or even both! On one side, there is a kind of tradition where they just relax with their family or friends or even alone and watch TV with some popcorns or godis. On the other side, they have the hidden rule that Fridays are for tacos or as they call it taco-fredag. This one is kind of fun and cute, I think. They just prepare the ingredients for the tacos and put each of them into a tiny bowl, a plate with the tortillas and the frying pan with the meat and sauce, as in the photo. Or maybe you guys can do both. I've never done it like that, but why not? ;) 

Björbo. Winter. By Erik Halvarsson

I particularly like to mix both: I have taco-fredag while I watch some movie or series and have some candles on. It truly depends on the person, so other types of fredagsmys different to these two are always allowed. Which one are you gonna choose? 

Hope you guys enjoyed this post and show me if you did any of this! How are your fredagsmys? Are you planning on making this your new tradition?

And the last day of this series came to an end! This means that you guys will have to wait a long while for another travel series in Sweden and that I will also have to wait to write about it. But exciting things await for this blog!

On our last day in Sweden, we had planned to visit the oldest town in Sweden Sigtuna. If you haven't visited it yet, you guys have no idea about how beautiful it is! And the best part? It's right beside a huge lake, so you get to walk along it, which is rather relaxing, or mysigt! When you look out to the lake it almost feels like the famous lake in Frankenstein, without the darker side and the giant hills, though, haha. Unfortunately, you guys cannot see that in this picture because I forgot to capture that part. 

Sigtuna. Winter by Ana R.

This was a pretty short day-trip. I think we arrived sometime around noon at Märsta station and by six or seven we were back in Stockholm. After arriving in Märsta, a bus waited for us to go to Sigtuna, which is like a couple kilometers away. Once we got there, we wandered around the town for a bit. The houses and locals were so small and colorful. Suddenly the streets were wider and the houses smaller, compared to the big city. I missed the pastel colors of Stockholm, though. But it felt like a perfect run-away town for the summer holidays. 

Sigtuna. Winter. By Ana R.

We suddenly came across a rather famous fika place in Sigtuna: Tant Bruns Kaffestuga. Everything was so cute. The terrace was decorated with terrace dark wooden chairs and tables that matched with some white decorations that they also had. This place is famous because of their semla, so we decided to give it a try and taste the worldwide famous semla. It looked absolutely delicious, but, please don't kill me, I didn't like the taste of it. I keep loyal to my beloved dammsugare, haha. However, I took a picture so you guys could see how good it looked. 

Tant Bruns Kaffestuga, Sigtuna. Winter. By Ana R.

Full of energy and with a full stomach, we were ready for a little hike of the day and we climbed to a viewpoint and enjoy the views. I took advantage of this time to collect some pine cones because I am that weird. After chilling out for a while, we went down and walked along the lake to enjoy the sun and the view over the water. 

As I mentioned in a previous post, this is the trip in which we try everything but we fail. This time, on our way back. We suddenly just got off the bus at the wrong bus stop in the middle of Märsta and we did the rest of journey by foot. You can guess how much attention we were paying to the journey, haha. And I also forgot to mention in the last post that we tried to taste smörgåstårta aswell, and failed, too, haha. It just wasn't meant to be on this trip, guys. We'll just try the next time. No worries.  

Sigtuna. Winter. By Ana R.

This last picture is exactly the last thing I saw before taking the bus back to the station. I hope you guys enjoyed the post and let me know about your experiences in Sweden! I'm thinking of writing about my experience learning Swedish or something related to that. Tell me what you think about it or if you guys are interested! Vi ses snart! (See you later!)

~Love, Ana~

On the third day, we were all ready to get out of Stockholm and visit other Swedish cities. Uppsala, it's your time to shine! This time, when I say "we" I include Tommy as well. The triplets' adventures continue! *Woohoo!*

Uppsala. Winter. By Ana

We got up earlier than the last days and got ready to take the train and explore Uppsala. But, on the way to the station, we thought: "why now going thrift shopping first?"I mean, almost everything would be closed by the time we got back from Uppsala so, better be safe and check out a couple of shops before. Besides, there are more chances to find better things! Although I didn't find everything I was looking for, clothes related, I made sure that I was covered for the next year when it comes to books for learning Swedish. I bought a book about..., well, to be honest, I didn't understand what it was about. It just said something about butterflies and brains. But I bought one of the Muminmamma series! I was really looking forward to having books from this series, mainly because it's the cutest cartoon I've ever seen, haha. Here you can see them with some not second-hand dammsugare.

When we finally got into the train to Uppsala, my sister and I took advantage of Tommy being stuck with us in a train for about 30 minutes so that he would correct our Swedish while we read out loud. It was a nice day so we could enjoy the landscape and I alsolearned about SJ and SL and all those. This was something very important for me, as you guys can see, haha.

We followed a list of must-see that Martin had given me the previous day because sometimes he just knows what I'm looking for at certain times without me telling him (Creepy, haha). The first stop was a music shop (this was not on the list) and I don't know why but as soon as the man of the shop screamed Tja, tja! when he saw us, I had to turn my back so he wouldn't see me laughing cause it sounded so funny, haha. I know it was a greeting before I went there, but, seriously guys, it sounds so funny. After that, we climbed up to the castle and saw the views and the cafeteria, too, haha. We tried to go inside the castle but apparently, we took the wrong entrance and ended up in a museum about the history of women and feminism, I think. It was quite interesting! We also watched a very interesting interview for I don't know how long. But. I think we were about to fall asleep when it restarted. At least, my sister and me. Tommy threw a couple of disappointed looks at us from time to time, haha. As we didn't find anything yummy in the cafeteria and it was such a nice day, we decided to buy some icecreams. And guess what? As soon as we bought them, it was windy and it started drizzling. Lots of fun, huh?

Uppsalas slott, Uppsala. Winter. By Ana

We didn't do much after that. We visited a couple of churches and cathedrals. We watched a ceremony and a loppis of my favorite thing in the world: books! I tried to find something interesting but I didn't find anything so we decided to look for a place to eat instead. We went to a taco restaurant, and god, those tacos were too spicy! I don't even remember if I could finish them but they looked super good!

We wanted to go to Gamla Uppsala to finish the trip but I think you can only get there by bus and we just had missed ours so we just walked around, bought our tickets back to Stockholm, but not without having a fika first! I confessed Tommy my inner wish of not to leave Sweden without tasting a dammsugare so he took out his inspector gadget side and found a place that sold dammsugare. Cause you guys know what Expresso House lacks? You're right, dammsugare.  Tommy went first so he would leave me on my own to order. But he copycatted me and ordered a dammsurage, haha. I ordered for my sister and me in Swedish, and the girl understood everything. It was perfect and there were no disappointments this time! God, how good it feels when you actually have a whole conversation in another language without screwing it up.  It was worth the dammsugare, haha. Look at this precious. 

Once we finished, we head back home and relaxed because we had another adventure on the next day!

Hello, guys! I bring you the second part of my last trip to Sweden or the second day. The truth is that I was really looking forward to writing about this day because something really exciting for me happened. So, this is why I took my headphones with the Mild Man's music as background and a piece of paper with a pen to write this post. It feels so good. I usually have this sort of ritual with the posts that I am more excited to write about. 

Stockholm, Riksdagshuset. Winter. By Martin Hviid

I started my morning routine to practice Swedish this day. Sometimes I would just randomly talk in Swedish with Frans, which happened to happen that day, but not every day. I would take Frans' newspaper and read some pieces of news out loud because Tommy would listen to me and correct me. At least, he pretended to do so sometimes, haha. I liked it a lot when one of those days Frans hadn't read the newspaper yet and we shared it, like in the movies haha. 

Stockholm, Södermalm. Winter. By Ana R.

After having breakfast and cooking our lunch (Tommy actually cooked it), which was super delicious, by the way! I still dream about it sometimes haha. We took the tunnelbanan to Östermalm, where Tommy showed us his university, Kungliga Musik Högskolan, KMH for friends, and we met a couple of friends of his. It was a very nice university and they had old pianos even! - Sorry if that's not the right word, but I don't know much about music. After that, we went to visit the Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan, because we were meeting my friend Martin there for the first time and the KTH campus was in my architecture bucket list - because who doesn't have an architecture bucket list? Duh, everyone does haha ;). I really don't know what those reddish bricks have that makes the buildings so beautiful. It's like the city hall building. 

Stockholm, Kungligla Tekniskahögskola. Winter. By Ana R.

Anyway, we walked around to checked out the campus and then we sat on a bench and read for a bit. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of the KTH. Dumb, isn't it? haha. We thought of staying there until Martin finished school, but it suddenly became very windy so we took the subway to Riddarholmen again to have lunch, because nice lunches deserve nice views, right? At 15:00 we were back at the KTH and we were stopped by a girl who worked for Amnestesia when we were running a bit late. I honestly thought Martin was gonna give me that look of "of course, Spaniards are always late", but he wasn't even there! We were less late than a Swede hahah. You guys must admit it, it's a bit funny, since swedes are known for their punctuality, among other things. Besides, I had a really interesting talk with the girl from Amnestesia for about five minutes. When I met Martin, I had my first cultural shock, or maybe linguistic shock because he asked me for directions (I was the GPS of the group, or rather my phone haha) and that is my weakness in every language hahah. When we found the way, we head to Stadsbiblioteket! This is something that I had planned because I wanted to visit it with someone who liked books as much as me. You guys can't see it here, but it's so beautiful and it has so many books, I wanna die! haha. We were there quite a while my sister looked for books about Irish English or Portuguese and Martin and I took a look at a book about Stockholm. 

Stockholm, Stadsbiblioteket. Winter. By Ana R.

I don't remember what happened next or how Martin decided to show us Sergels Torg and Hötorget, but it was a good decision. I'd never been there before and I've been meaning to because Veronica Maggio's song Sergels Torg is good and I like it, haha. Actually, on our way there, I had another funny linguistic shock in the underground, but that one happened because I'm a little bit special and it takes me double time to process things properly. Let's just say that, hahah. A little after that we went to fika, guess where? Yes, Expresso House, hahah. This was the second time I tried to order a hot chocolate in Swedish. The first time, which was the day before, was quite messy and the barista and I had a good laugh, especially when I tried to get in the card through the wrong slot. This time I thought I was ready, but the word marshmallows in Swedish took me by surprise. I liked when I failed, though, because it means that I had to practice more, which I love doing. I don't remember much about the fika only that I got to hear Martin speaking in Spanish. Boy, that guy is good! He has such a determination that he makes me feel jealous 99.9% of the time, hahah. After that, we just walked around in Gamla Stan, the city hall and the parliament, which I was looking forward to seeing! I usually watch my other friend Martin's videos, the Swedishlad, and he often goes to the parliament, but I never knew the location, to be honest,  until I saw it that day. It was so beautiful at night!

Stockholm, Riksdagshuset. Winter. By Ana R.

I forgot to tell you that when we walked through Gamla Stan in search of a good and cozy photo of it, I had another awkward moment. I kind of screw it up a bit in this hang out. I blame Martin for taking my clumsy side out, haha. I had never seen a trash bin with a cover before, at least not in the part of Spain where I am from. As I was walking towards the bin, I was kind of doubting that it was a real bin and I looked at Martin, as he was watching me, for confirmation, cause he must have been thinking that I was such a dummy, hahaha. That never happened, and well, it was a real .in, hahah.

After the complete Stockholm tour with Martin, we just head to the station and hugged us goodbye. I really liked this day. It was calm and I got to meet Martin. I loved the places he showed us and I had a great time with him. I actually felt quite comfortable to be the first time that I met him. I felt so comfortable that I got a bit sad when he left, haha. I felt like a tiny little part of me just left me. He's really nice and I admire a lot of things about him. I liked a lot when we took pictures of the same things together, it's like we were sharing a hobby. I love when I have relationships this enriching. He teaches me so many things and I really appreciate that. 

I hope you guys enjoyed reading about this day as much as I enjoyed writing about it! Stay tuned for the next post and take care!

A sunrise or a sunset is something that to most people goes unnoticed. In my case, I have the opportunity to enjoy it almost every day and I can tell you that it does not go unnoticed to me. Whether it is a sunrise or a sunset does not matter to me, though I rather see sunrises. They are something worth to see. I cannot start the day without seeing it. A sunrise is something that makes me really happy. I feel I have the opportunity to do something new, to start over and make the best of the day, to do the things that I really like. On my way to university, I have the chance to see a sunrise almost every single day, and it has a really beautiful scenery accompanying it. This is a sunrise in Spain.

Spain. Winter. By me

In Sweden, you do not have the chance to see a sunrise every day. But when you do, God...it is so beautiful! The colours are brighter and the fact that you are surrounded by forest and cute colourful houses makes it even more beautiful. I wish I had the chance to wake up every day in Sweden and see the sunrise there because it is totally different from a sunrise in Spain. Of course, every sunrise is different, but this one is absolutely stunning!

☁ Un amanecer o un atardecer es algo que para la mayoría de personas pasa desapercibido. Yo tengo la oportunidad de disfrutarlo casi cada día y os puedo decir que para mí no es algo que pase desapercibido. Ya sea un amanecer o un atardecer no me importa mucho, aunque prefiero ver amaneceres. Son algo que merece la pena ver. No puedo empezar el día sin verlo. Un amanecer es algo que me hace realmente feliz cuando lo veo. Siento que tengo la oportunidad de empezar algo nuevo, de empezar de nuevo y aprovechar el día la máximo, de hacer las cosas que realmente me gustan. De camino a la universidad tengo la oportunidad de ver amaneceres casi cada día, y tiene un gran paisaje acompañándolo. Este es un amanecer en España.

☁ En Suecia no tienes la oportunidad de ver un amanecer todos los días. Pero cuando lo ves, ¡Dios...es precioso! Los colores son más claros y el hecho de estar rodeado de bosque y casas coloridas y bonitas lo hace más precioso aún.  Ojalá tuviera la oportunidad de despertarme todos los días en Suecia y ver el amanecer allí, porque es algo totalmente diferente de un amanecer de España. Por supuesto todos los amaneceres son distintos, pero este es verdaderamente impresionante.

Hello, everyone! It's been a while since I wrote an entry; and the reason why I didn't was because I've been busy with University, that is why I would like to write this new entry about some personal things about me. 

 I'm a nineteen-year-old student of English Literature and Linguistics. I've loved English since I was a child, but I also found out that I love Sweden and Swedish a couple years ago. I have the chance to apply for an Erasmus scholarship in any place. I've always wanted to choose this opportunity to live in Sweden and get to know the country, culture and know more about Swedish. But I also would like to go to England to improve my English. This month I have to choose where I want to go. I know I have the chance to go to England any time because it is very close and things there are easier, sort of. But I haven't got the chance to go to Sweden every day, right? I think that if I chose Sweden, I would have the possibility to go there later, maybe to have my master's there or even to work there would be easier if I already had some experience there, right? Still, I'm doubtful because of the money "problem". I would like to know more about how it is like to study in Sweden because there is not much-verified information about it.

 P.S: I would appreciate any info that you knew. There will be more entries soon, pinkie promise! ;)

I miss the countryside in Gällinge. I miss walking through the forest and having a peaceful picnic with hot chocolate and a crazy partner who tests the frozen lakes we see on the way all the time. I miss how you could drive and there was barely anyone else on the road. I miss taking a flashlight at 5 pm because it is too dark to go for a walk. I miss the smell of candles lit all day long at home. I miss the snow. I miss those beautiful trees that you can see from the window with that beautiful moon while I was in the bed. I miss the streets. I miss the airport times. I miss you, Sverige.

Göteborg. Winter. By Marta Vargas

Autumn is a season which we Spaniards do not know much about since the first autumn leaves fall when winter is about to start. But I've heard that in Sweden, autumn is really beautiful and lasting! So you have time to walk with bunches of dead leaves along the ways. I am a walking lover. I love going for long walks to glance at the landscapes or just to relax.

Royal National City Park. Autumn. By Tiia W.

I've always wanted to grab a camera and go for a long walk to take pictures but since I do not have a fine camera, I cannot do it, but soon I will! I would like to have one when I go to Sweden to study there for a year.

I also like lakes, so parks with dead leaves and a lake would make me stay all day long there; and it would be much better if there was a pick nick.

☁  El otoño es una estación de la que nosotros los españoles no sabemos mucho, ya que las primeras hojas de otoño caen cuando el invierno está apunto de empezar. Pero he oído que en Suecia,  ¡el otoño es muy bonito y duradero! Así que tienes tiempo de dar un paseo con montones de hojas muertas  en el camino. Soy una amante de los paseos. Me encanta dar paseos largos para admirar los paisajes o solo para relajarme. 

☁  Siempre he querido coger una cámara e ir a dar un paseo para echar fotos, pero como no tengo una buena cámara, no puedo hacerlo, ¡pero pronto lo haré! Me gustaría tener una cuando vaya a Suecia para estudiar durante un año.

☁  También me gustan los lagos, así que los parques con hojas muertas y un lago me harían quedarme allí todo el día; y sería mucho mejor si hubiese un pick nick.

I've never been into candles much, I think I simply used them when the electricity was cut off. But since I've been to Sweden, I've discovered other ways to use them and how they make you relax. It was Advent when I was there, and they turned on a couple of candles every day, but I never understood why since in Spain we don't pay too much attention to Advent and neither we turn on candles to celebrate it.

Malmö. Spring. By Hannah Ingelsten

Actually, in Sweden, they turn on candles whenever they have the chance to do it, especially in the dark and long months of winter. Besides making your place warm, comfortable and cosy, they make it beautiful. There is nothing better than arriving at home after a long day of work, get some comfortable clothes, something to drink, get the place dark and turn on a couple of candles to relax. Well, actually there is a hot bath with candles. To finish, they prepare your house for Christmas and make you look forward to it even more.

☁  Nunca he estado muy interesada en las velas, creo que simplemente las usaba cuando se iba la luz. Pero desde que he ido a Suecia, he descubierto otras formas de usarlas y cómo hacen que te relajes. Era Adviento cuando estuve allí,  y encendían un par de velas todos los días, pero nunca he entendido por qué, ya que en España no prestamos mucha atención a la época de Adviento y tampoco encendemos velas para celebrarlo.

☁ En realidad, en Suecia encienden velas cada vez que tienen una oportunidad para hacerlo, sobre todo en los oscuros y largos meses de invierno. Además de hacer que tu casa esté calentita, cómoda y acogedora, la hacen bonita. No hay nada mejor que llegar a casa después de un largo día de trabajo, ponerte algo de ropa cómoda, algo para beber, poner la casa oscura y encender un par de velas para relajarte. Bueno, en verdad si lo hay:un baño caliente con velas. Para terminar, preparan tu casa para Navidad y hacen que la recibas con más ganas.

Lakes is something that, at least, in Spain, we don't have, and it is something that I really love of Sweden. In fact, I love anything which has to do with water. Honestly, I've always like the water as long as I can remember; I love swimming, I love feeling the water; I love that first time you go to the sea every year and you walk to the sea and wait until a wave come towards you to feel the water on your feet, I love that sensation.

Stockholm. Autumn. By Marta Vargas

  In Sweden, there are lakes everywhere, absolutely everywhere! Probably, people who live in the country or nearby know more about it, but those who live in the city, like Göteborg or Stockholm will go to the sea. And that is also beautiful to see, too. No matter where you are, the landscape is always beautiful and unforgettable.

☁ Los lagos son algo que, al menos, en España no tenemos, y es algo que verdaderamente me encanta de Suecia. De hecho, me encanta todo lo que tenga que ver con el agua. Sinceramente, siempre me ha gustado desde siempre; me encanta nadar, me encanta sentir el agua, me encanta esa primera vez en cada año que vas al mar, caminas hacia él, y esperas hasta que una ola venga para sentir el agua en tus pies, me encanta esa sensación. 

 ☁ En Suecia, hay lagos por todas partes, ¡absolutamente en todas partes! Probablemente, las personas que viven en el campo o cerca sabrán más de ellos, pero aquellos que viven en la ciudad, como Göteborg o Stockholm, irán al mar. Y eso es bonito de ver, también. No importa dónde estés, el paisaje siempre es bonito e inolvidable.

I am not a city girl, but when it comes to Sweden I would not mind living in a city or town. Streets are beautiful and the way every business or house look is so beautiful, too. It seems that you are visiting a city from a wonderland or from a doll house.  I would spend every day going for walks and I would never get tired of a town like this.

Ystad. Spring. By Hannah Ingelsten

I would see every corner of it, every shop, every street. I just imagine it full of cafes where you can stop by and read, of cute small cake shops where you can see a very nice owner baking, of old book shops where you can spend a whole afternoon without getting bored. I know, it is very dreamy, but I love cafes for reading so much, and cute cake shops and book shops.

☁ No soy una chica de ciudad, pero cuando tiene que ver con Suecia no me importaría vivir en un ciudad o en un pueblo. Las calles son preciosas y la manera en la que se ve cada negocio o casa es preciosa también. Parece que estás visitando una ciudad de un paraíso o  de una casita de muñecas. Pasaría cada día yendo a dar paseos y nunca me cansaría de un pueblo como este. 

☁ Vería cada rincón de la ciudad, cada tienda, cada calle. Simplemente la imagino llena de cafés donde puedes pararte un rato y leer,  de pequeñas y lindas pastelerías donde puedes ver a un simpatiquísimo dueño, de viejas librerías donde puedes pasar toda la tarde sin aburrirte. Lo sé, es muy de ensueño, pero me encantan muchísimo los cafés para leer, y las lindas pastelerías y librerías.

It was Christmas's Eve in 2012 when I saw snow for the second time in my life, but it seems as if it were the first one. It felt so good to walk in the snow and cold, but it was pretty nice. I remember how I laid on the snow and tried to make an angel. I remember how I was taking pictures when, suddenly, I saw small snowflakes all over. My hair was turning into white while I ice-skated on a frozen lake.

Gällinge. Winter. By me

Sometimes I remember how I was walking back home and there were many snowdrifts from which I took some snowballs to throw them to someone. Or how you could see a whole path full of grass and snow at the same time.

Stockholm. Winter. By Marta Vargas

Every winter I wish I was there and could feel the snow again. It must be amazing the first day of snow; to go out in your boots and feel the snow and its sound while you walk. I am really looking forward to coming back to this white land.

☁ Era nochebuena del 2012 cuando vi la nieve por segunda vez en mi vida, pero parecía como si fuera la primera. Sentaba muy bien andar en la nieve y el frío, pero estaba muy bien. Recuerdo cómo me tumbé en la nieve e intenté hacer un ángel. Recuerdo cómo estaba haciendo fotos cuando, de repente, vi pequeños copos de nieve por todas partes. Me pelo se estaba volviendo blanco mientras patinaba en un lago congelado.

☁ A veces recuerdo cómo iba de vuelta a casa y había muchísimos montones de nieve acumulada de donde cogía bolas de nieve y se las lanzaba a 'alguien'.  O cómo podías ver todo un camino lleno de hierba y nieve a la vez.

☁ Cada invierno desearía estar allí y poder sentir la nieve otra vez. Debe ser increíble el primer día de nieve, salir con tus botas y  sentir la nieve y su sonido mientras caminas. Estoy deseando volver a esta tierra blanca.

It is incredibly surprising for me how I follow hundreds of blogs and people from Sweden in Instagram and I never stop being surprised by their photos of the typical buildings there. Architecture and Art are things that I've always been interested in, but I never thought I would be interested in the point of being hooked on every building from there. You will understand me when you see these colors and how they match among them:

Stockholm. Winter. By Marta Vargas

These views make me want to be there and to get back to study some Architecture, but it amazes me a lot that, at least in my school, we haven't seen much about Scandinavian architecture. It is obvious that it is really beautiful! I think that if I had studied Scandinavian architecture, I would have been even more interested. 

Stockholm. Winter. By Marta Vargas

I just keep imaging me living there, just wandering around the city, seeing every building, discovering every corner of it, and being incredibly happy. I think people would think I am crazy if they saw me like that there. They remind me of medieval buildings and at the same time those from a wonderland, but they are even more beautiful when you see them as a whole, the whole city from a distance.

☁ Es realmente sorprendente como sigo cientos de blogs y personas de Suecia en Instagram y nunca dejo de estar sorprendida por sus fotos de los típicos edificios de allí. La arquitectura y el arte son cosas que siempre me han interesado, pero nunca pensé que me interesarían hasta el punto de estar enganchada a cada edificio de allí. Me entenderéis cuando veáis estos colores y como combinan entre ellos.

☁ Estas vistas hacen que quiera estar allí y que vuelva a estudiar algo de arquitectura, pero me sorprende muchísimo que, al menos en mi escuela, no hemos visto mucho sobre arquitectura escandinava. ¡Es obvio que es preciosa! Creo que si hubiera estudiado arquitectura escandinava, hubiese estado incluso más interesada.

☁ Simplemente sigo imaginándome viviendo allí, deambulando en la ciudad, viendo cada edificio, descubriendo cada rincón de ella, y siendo increíblemente feliz. Creo que la gente pensaría que estoy loca si me viesen así por allí. Me recuerdan a edificios medievales y a la vez a los de un paraíso, pero son incluso más bonitos cuando los ves como un todo, la ciudad por completo desde la distancia.

☁ P.S: Suecia, ¡espérame! Estaré allí pronto.
