The Tranquil Little Town That Is Vaxholm

You might want to experience a one day getaway in Sigtuna first. ******* Another couple of days off of school and my friend Linh and I went to the small but cozy town of Vaxholm, just over thirty kilometers away from Sweden's capital city, Stockholm.  We used our SL cards to use the tunnelbana (the subway system) to Tekniska Högskolan (in the red line towards Mörby Centrum) before we changed to Bus number 670 to Vaxholms...

The Stockholm Observatory

Located near the Stockholm Public Library is the Stockholm Observatory, located at the peak of the hill at Observatorieparken. A couple of weeks ago, my friends Lisa, Linh and their younger siblings had a picnic on one side of the observatory. I have been to the Observatory countless amount of times, and I have never been disappointed with my climb. We had a picnic near this statue, just overlooking the public library itself. Before...

EATS: Stockholm Fisk

For 2014's Mother's Day, we took mom to Stockholm Fisk, one of her favorite restaurants since our stay here in Stockholm. As we were perusing their interesting menu, we got greeted by a complementary basket of bread and butter. I got the white asparagus with French goat cheese and Iberico Berotta. White asparagus is a rarity in Europe, and is grown only for a short period of time. I have tried white asparagus before, and I did not enjoy...

The Karlberg Castle (Solna)

A day went pass and I thought, "Why not take a walk with my family?". After a quick fifteen minute Google search, I stumbled upon the Karlberg Castle - a castle in Solna which was a mere six kilometers away from where we lived. We packed some water bottles, wore our jackets and off we went.  After arriving, we got to see a small dock where we got to sit and take pictures of the castle. Check it out! After another kilometer of walking...

A One Day Getaway In Sigtuna

Stockholm is a very wonderful place. Sometimes, you just really want to get away from the hustle and bustle that is in Stockholm and just go to a  very relaxing place. A few days back, me and two of my good friends went to a city just under fifty kilometers away from Stockholm called Sigtuna. After a forty-five minute car ride, we arrived at Sigtuna proper. We quickly got to tour the town and even sit and chat at the one of the oldest coffee...

EATS: Indian Guru

A while back, my family and I wanted to try something that we don't particularly like. Spicy food. We thought of going to an Indian restaurant for dinner, as spice is a trademark of Indian Cuisine. Not very far from our house is Indian Guru, a restaurant located in Vasastan, near Gustav Vasa Kyrka. Me and my mom have a very negative relationship with spicy foods. My dad and sister on the other hand, love that kind of stuff. We chose some papadam...

EATS: Tabac Du Roule

First, I just wanted to comment on how small this restaurant was. Tabac Du Roule was literally footsteps away from our hotel, so we decided to give it a try. Back to its smallness, it housed maybe twelve people for the restaurant, a bar with a few seats and a cigar shop. Who needs anything if you have food, beer and something to smoke? (Disclaimer: Kids, don't smoke or drink. That's bad for your liver, lungs and people around you. The question...

EATS: Hippopotamus Bar & Grill

Our first official meal in Paris was at the Hippopotamus Bar & Grill near Forum Les Halles. We were strolling around the area when we thought of having dinner, and we found this place! It seemed to have an inviting atmosphere from the outside. We were hoping to find good food here, to satisfy our first impressions of Parisian offerings. Before going in though, we were very intrigued if they served real hippo meat. You might be on board with...

Paris Day 1 - The Louvre and The Eiffel Tower

It's Euan again and it's time to share my experiences when I was in Paris! The first official travelling day was started by an unexpectedly long walk to the Louvre. Considering that we stayed at the Tonic Hotel at Les Halles-Châtalet which was just a good ten minutes away, we took a thirty minute walk because our map skills weren't up to par (something to work on).  Finally, we managed to stumble upon the legendary Louvre pyramid, and the...

Ireland- Getting There (PART 1)

by Shriya Ireland. A country with great history. Even after eight hundred years of British rule, part of it is still not a free country. The southern part is still under the rule of the British. That was one reason for the visit, to learn its great history. Second reason is very complicated... So, my cousin was three years old when my uncle moved to Ireland. I am one year younger than her, so I barely remember seeing her in India, and she...
