Free ketchup and Wifi

I’ve always had a love hate relationship with Sweden. The first time I arrived here, back in 2005, I spent about 50 minutes looking for the elevator and by the time I got to my room and emailed my family, a 4 pm, it was pitch black dark. Not a very warm welcome, as was yesterday. My plane arrived 15 minutes late, because some person decided not to show up for the flight, and then I found out that my friend Jenny wasn’t going to arrive for another 2 and a half hours. So there I was at an empty airport. Luckily I found a McDonalds (Yeah..free Wifi!!!) and it was there that I got my first nice surprise..I totally forgot that so many things are better here, like free ketchup at McDonalds!! =D

After my friend’s arrival, at midnight, we finally started our journey to her house, but since it was so late some of the busses weren’t going anymore and so with a lot of asking we got from Arlanda to Märsta, from Märsta to Stockholm Centrum and from Stockholm Centrum to Hässelby. And all of that we did in no less than 5 and a half hours =s The bus that was hardest to find was the 198 to Hässelby. It took three bus drivers and two security guards =s to find that bus!! In the mean time, while waiting, I got asked out by a Moroccan guy from France, who was even willing to defy my boyfriend, hehe.

But besides all these things Sweden is still wonderful. At my arrival I witnessed a beautiful sunset and got an amazing view of the misty woods that are everywhere around here, so I think that I am still in love with Sweden.
