Well Sweden is an absolutely amazing place! Stockholm is an awesome city that is very VERY stylish....I seriously think that everyone here spends at least 1/3 of the money they make on clothes.....Oh and there are so many beautiful girls here!!! oh and the girls that are with me and my friend say the guys are hot too so have no fear ladies....There are about 100 museums here...and TONS of nightclubs.....SO MUCH TO DO!!!
I definately reccommend coming to this city if anyone has a chance....OH YEA, and most of the people here can speak english fairly well....I am off to an island in north sweden tomorrow and then I am going to London to meet a friend a different friend on Saturday....

I am on a private island in the baltic sea off of the shores of central Sweden...its absolutely surreal...I enjoyed Stockholm but the Swedish countryside is SO much better then the avid city life....I am leaving to go to Berlin on the 3rd....if anyone is going to be there between the 3rd-7th let me know if ya wanna drink a few strong german beers with me.....I hope everyone else's travels and lives are going well....and remember...Stress takes years off your life...its not worth it....SO RELAX, even through turmoil....ok sorry for the stupid philosophy lesson...Im out!

The Island I am on was bought by my sister who grew up in Sweden...the houses on the island need a lot of work so I have been helping her with different things...It was a church retreat for a long time and before that it was owned by a shipping guy who planted trees here from all over the world. I wish i could post some pictures Tony but my hand me down camera fucking broke...haha...oh well...I am going to force myself to buy a digital one when i get to Berlin...
Anyways I plan on spending all of next summer here on the island with a few friends....and everyone from TP will be welcome to come to Soderhamn, Sweden and party with us if they wish....

I just got into Berlin and I am staying at the A&O hostel near the ZooGarhdten train station....its a nice hostel with TONS of people....definately one to consider if you would like to spend a bit more than usual (19 Euros) for a fun, relaxed place!!!
I am serious about that offer about the Swedish Island next summer by the way!!!
And Matador, you want to know about Swedish women.....well first off they are not all blond...but there are A LOT of blondes....most of them are tall.....slender....nice figure......speak english well....dressed very nice and sexy.......but they dont typically have big tits....which is not a problem at all because they have such nice well toned bodies.....definatelz NOT hype.......but beware....the ones that are beautiful know they are and have been known to act quite prewd at times....not easy hunting grounds but worth the challenge!!! haha ...

Here is what i have been up to in the past 2 weeks....
I was in Prague for 5 nights....stayed at the boathouse hostel...great city...MOST beautiful women ever....cheap beer...good fun...great architecture.....beautiful city scapes.....
I had a 24 train ride to bucaresti romania turn into 36 hours after waking up twice and being stuck in a train graveyard in Bratislava and hungarian border because i slept through the train stop....
Then ROMANIA for 5 days....my friends there showed me all around Bucaresti and then to TRANSYLVANIA....SPOOKY>...not really...it was so beautiful.....a huge grassy plain with giant mountains on one side and huge rolling hills on the other....romania is such a beautiful country....
Now i am in CORFU Greece at the PINK Palace and will be leaving to go to AMsterdam to start my job on the 22nd.....
Thats my trip in a nutshell so far!

Wow - sounds like you're having an amazing time! Good luck on your travels and try to send some pics as soon as you can for those of us who are travelers in waiting. (ie: working to save money for our next adventure.)

dude, I know exactly where that is! no way! congrats on being in the approximately .01% of travelpunks to ever go to Bratislava! hahaha I bet it'll become more of a destination though when people figure out that the locals are extremely good looking, for the most part.
(I loved Bratislava but for most people it's a passing-through thing. But then again I have a friend who is a director in the ministry of the interior department, hahaha.)
