New planned trip!

Monday-  Walked around town today.  My plan was to buy some more shirts and jeans but all the stores were packed with people.  I don't know if it is always this busy but It's like black friday every day.  I hate shopping so if there is any line or crowd in a store then I'm gone.  I take after my dad clearly.  Everyone also walks or drives like "massholes".  They don't mess around.  I learned this when we landed in Stockholm and I was trying to get off the plane and everyone was cutting me off and not letting me get out of my aisle.  I'm no longer Mr. Nice-guy.

I am amazed by the number of people that walk the town.  The town is always very busy with pedestrians.  The downtown area is more busy than I've ever seen the Old Port and it's below freezing.  I think this is why everyone is so healthy as they walk or bike everywhere.  The sidewalks for American standards are in awful shape but everyone still bikes and walks it.  I still haven't fallen for the record.  Most of the bike tires have studded tires so they don't wipe out.

Tuesday-  Just planned a Trip with Pen and Jesse.  We are headed to Berlin on the 10th then going to Amsterdam on the 13th or so then Brussels, Belgium on the 16th.  I am pretty excited for this 3 country tour!  We are staying in hostels in each of the cities and either taking a train or bus to each destination.  Our return flight from Brussels to Stockholm is only 8 euro.  The travel in Europe is much more affordable and efficient than in the United States as all of the travel and accommodations should be under $200 for a week!  That would get me TO Colorado and that's about it.  We will also visit Kylie in Brussels who went to CU- Boulder.

Tonight is club night at Snerikes.  Since I joined that nation I can get in free.  We are going early so we don't have to wait in the line which took an hour and a half last week.  They have 3 different bars and 3 dance floors in the Nation.
