tin city

While strolling in February we suddenly came across this small tin city, standing on poles on the lawn. There were even more small "tables" with houses, but I think this one pretty much gives the picture. Kind of different, actually.

This appears to be just your average residential block. But it's located on Lappkärrsberget (commonly known as "Lappis"), a housing area dedicated to student's lodgings. On Tuesdays at 10 p.m. the students will open their windows and a primal scream will wipe out all other city sounds. It's an understanding they all have, to join in on a cry in an attempt to diminish the anxiety-ridden feelings connected to studying. You can also watch a Youtube video of the phenomenon here.

bring your own seat

It's going to be tough this year if you want to sleep (or sit) on a bench at Sergels Torg. I hope they are just renovating them.

white lotus cave

Having cave walls decorated with aquatic flowering plants is perfectly natural at Näckrosen, a subway station in Solna Municipality. After all, näckros is the Swedish word for European White Waterlily or White Lotus.
