Stockholm walkabout, again

Friday, after work, walk around some more. A view from Gamla Stan (Old Town). You can see how cold it is.

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
Is this Greenpeace office in Stockholm? I dunno. Lazy to ask.

 
 
 
No snow, but there's a mini ice-skating ring. Somewhere at Medbogarplatsen.

 
 
 
Soderhallarna. I found another asian shop in here, but sells nothing good.

 
 
 
This is what their public toilet looks like. You can identify one by the word "WC". This is free. In places like the Central Station and shopping mall, you got pay 5Kr to use the "WC".

 
Here's another free "WC".

 
 
 
Inside Soderhallarna, I saw a shop selling this. I thought 'Singapore Sling' is a cocktail. This one here looks like ginger and onion beef.

 
 
 
On Saturday, went out early (while there's daylight) to explore some more. Took the bus this time and discovered that there's a direct bus to Ikea. hehe. So, ape lagi. While walking to the bus stop, saw this Volvo C30. Never seen this back in SG or MY before.

 

 

 

 
 
 
When I reached Ikea, I realised there're more shops and a mall behind it. So decided to skip Ikea and explore the mall instead.
Inside the mall, saw some people distributing what looks like....free food! haha. Actually I see this almost everywhere I go. People giving out gingerbread biscuit and glögg, a hot wine.

 
Just so happened I was hungry, so I joined in the queue. Besides, I've never tried the biscuit and the hot wine before. Dip the biscuit inside the hot wine, it's surprisingly tasty eaten this way.

 
 
 
And I also saw what turns out to be self-service recycling stations. Bring all the empty bottles or cans you can find and get paid in return. 50 Ore each.

 

 

 
 
 
Next, check out the supermarket, ICA Kvantum. See what's available.
I like their basket, it has little wheels underneath so you can just pull it on the floor instead of having to carry it like in MY or SG. Of course, if you think you're going to buy a lot of stuff, then you can get the usual trolley instead.

 
 
 
Glögg for sale.

 
 
 
Oh look, they sell rice!

 
 
 
Oh look, some sambal to cook the rice with!

2nd week of work in Manila. Rice with crab meat, very rich and I'm sure sinful It sucks! One of the national pasttimes here is Karaoke. Locally known as Videoke. Every pinoy I've met so far love to sing. They acknowledge most of them are not good singers. But they like the idea of friends or families getting together to sing, and to laugh at each other, generally having a good time together. So, in Philipinnes, instead of seeing those kiosks for taking photos or arcade games, you will also see booths for videoke. Choose your songs, slot in coins, and sing away! Their local "taxi" This....is a view of one of the firm's office in Manila. They have a few offices, but this one is where I'm posted to. Yes, it doesn't look completed. Yes, there're people inside working already. I asked the locals, "has this building been issued Certificate Fit for Occupation?". They look puzzled "what's that?". This i...

Man...i had the most unpleasant experience (so far) last night with Bertha. Went to Plaza Singapura for the 1st time with it. Going up the car park, no problem, no need to pay, can go thru the gap. Looking for a parking space, no problem. Went for dinner, buuurpp. Went shopping for toiletries, groceris, see see look look, shiok. Went back to the bike to go home, bike still there, no twisted soul jealous of it, no inadequately-trained car drivers accidentally backed into it or grazed it. Put my stuff in the panniers, put on helmet, start the engine, and vrooom i go. Go down level by level until the exit where the ticket scanner is. Oooppss!! BIIG PROBLEM. There're two lanes. I was too fast going into the right lane. Saw there's no gap between the barrier for bikes to go thru. Look around, saw a sign "Motorcycles keep LEFT"! Dammit, only the left lane has the gap. There's a concrete barrier btwn left and right lane. And I'm on a downslope. Stop the engine, get d...
