Old stone buildings on the island of Öland, Sweden. August 7, 2001

Welcome to my Sweden page.

I visited Stockholm and the 24,000 islands of the skärgård (archipelagos) in the summer of 2001. I encountered friendly people, interesting cultures, and some not-so-interesting foods...

$ - US$1 = 9.3 Swedish Kronors

The best and worst of Sweden. Note that this is my personal opinion and I only had limited exposure to the country. If there are any other categories you would like me to list, please send me an email.

Places to eat (on a backpacker's budget):Best: It's expensive everywhere. Buy from large supermarkets like Rimi, a national chain.

Worst: Pickled raw fish - stay away from it!
Hostel:The hostel in Grinda - although other ones in Stockholm are supposed to be very nice.
Activity:Best: Biking through Stockholm

Worst: None experienced.
Scenery:Best: Ferry ride through various islands in the skärgård (archipelagos).
Chilling Out::Best: Hanging out on the islands in the skärgård (archipelagos).
Danger:Crazy Swedish woman feeding you raw pickeled fish... :)
