Stockholm, How I love thee...

*SVEN! My Swedish moose :D


*Getting hot chocolate... at an apparently gay coffee shop!


*Changing of the guard!


*So nerdy but self-explanatory - Darwin's first edition printed with the word "evolution" :D


*The medieval "Gymnastics: Physical Therapy" book I was telling you about... look at the picture of the gymnast on the "horse" - hahahah!


*Karolinska Institut - well known medical school in Sweden :)


*Sitting at the table where the Nobel committee decides the Nobel Prize in Medicine each year - SO COOL! (this building is at the Karolinska Institut pictured above)


*The Svenska Akadamien (where they decide the Chemistry Nobel Prize i believe) & The Nobel Museum! Highly recommended to visit. :)


*Very Scandinavian-esque statue :)


*Parliament I think...


*Medical training using dummies inside the Rocket Shelter (see below)


*The "Rocket Shelter" - a complete underground hospital used in times of war or intense infectious disease - REALLY cool! When not being used for clinical purposes, a lot of medical training is done here.... See above pic!


*Helicopter pad & view of Stockholm from one of the regional hospitals..


*Inside a Swedish ambulance!


*Deciding the goal..... AIK lost :(


*@ the AIK v VIK hockey game!


*AIK goalie!


*The Vasa ship - completely resurrected!


*The Vasa Ship Museum


*More beautiful Stockholm


*Swedish medical signs!


*Swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes - yummy :)

*The Swedish flag and a statue of Hermes.... 2 of my favs :)


*Apparently a very posh place to live if you're a wealthy Swede... (Bjørn Bjorg lives here)





*Famous cinnamon rolls :D


*Busy street in Stockholm!

Well those are some of my pictures from Stockholm - hope you enjoyed! Going back in a week!
