Vacation in Stockholm



Stockholm is a beautiful city with beautiful people!

Before i came to Sweden, I had heard that Swedish girls are some of the most beautiful in the world. I have been here for a year and I completely agree!

Blonde hair, blue eyes, pouty lips, lots of attitude and such an eye for fashion! And its the same with the guys as well. The guys are even more concerned with their looks than the girls are...or so the cliche goes. Its a REAL pity that I am not naturally attracted to blondes and Scandinavian looking women in general. I am more into the Latino look, dark hair, curves and the drama to match! I never thought i would say it, but i miss the drama that an African woman gives, none of all that drama in Sweden where equality is the byword and no one is expected to take all responsibility in a relationship...but i digress...

So i have been on vacation since Monday, the new MC team took over and its really nice just to wake up in the morning and not have to worry about making it to the office on time! No more conferences to worry about, exchange figures to boost, LC visit to plan... Its the end of a time for me truly! But maybe AIESEC Auckland will have some expectations on me... who knows?

My original plan had been to leave for London yesterday but since i only got my passport back from the New Zealand embassy today and i still have to renew my UK visa so i can fly through London.... I am supposed to start work in Fonterra on Monday July 10 and i would have had to leave on Friday July 7 to do that. There is still a chance of leaving on Friday but it ALL depends on the UK embassy. If i get my passport back same day tomorrow, then MAYBE i can make it...the downside is that I dont get to spend ANY time with my sisters. But still i have informed AIESEC New Zealand of all this. Let us see how it goes. I will be at the UK embassy first thing tomorow and see if i cant work some magic and charm there...

On Monday, while walking and exploring Stockholm, i came across so many interesting things. There was a live band marching through the City Center with a lot of fanfare, there was a con artist who was betting 1000SEK that onlookers couldnt pick out the ball from three revolving cups he was constantly moving around (I picked it out correctly three times but didnt take his money) and I flirted with this one girl so much on the train... its a wonder i didnt get her number. (BUGGER!)

Today Tuesday, I have spent the whole day on the beach lying in the sun (obviously not for the tan),sleeping and ogling the swedish girls in their skimpy bikinis. What a vacation!

Anyway now...I have been dispossesed of my computer as my successor has taken it over but he was nice enough to lend me his personal one. So I should be able to stay on top of my emails at least!

Its been a magical year in Sweden, now i am heading to New Zealand! New place, new time zone, new challenges! Bring it on!
