A day in Sweden.

This is celebration, this is levitation
Look at how you winning now, this took dedication,
This is meditation, higher education
This the official competitor elimination
I was taking trips with Web to move face,
Came back home then hit up a new place,

- Champion, Nicki Minaj. 

 It is only a thirty minute train ride from Copenhagen, Denmark to Malmo, Sweden. 

And, by God's grace I even caught the right train first go and got off at the right station. I was so proud of myself. Look at how I've grown since leaving Sydney, I now take public transport and I can now follow direction on public transport. I'm not gonna get too cocky here but you've gotta be impressed with how I can now perform simple tasks. GO ME!!!

It was cold as I stepped off the train. Much colder than Copenhagen was. I could see my breath and remembered the rare occasion this happened in Sydney and we used to pretend we were smoking. And being the loser child I am while no one was around I pretended to smoke. 

Malmo like Copenhagen is a beautiful city. However, unlike Copenhagen it is a very quiet city.
I arrived at 10:00am to basically empty streets (who would take my photo?) and shops not yet open or just beginning to open. I walked the quiet streets soaking in the surroundings and the quiet town feel. I stopped for coffee and watched the people as they began to fill the town around 10:30am.

The architecture is similar to Copenhagen. It is equally as stunning and detailed. I found many buildings, alleyways, streets and monuments where I just need to stop, step back and look. Even now, after 10 months of living in Europe I am still amazed by the places I am witnessing. I am so thankful for this opportunity. 

The parks in the city were absolutely breath taking. Another opportunity to stop, sit back with God and enjoy His astounding imagination and colourful creation.

(I'm the one on the grass, just so you know) 

(Yea...On second thought maybe I haven't grown up at all since leaving Sydney)

The city has many big name shops along it's main street - though nothing you couldn't get in London - and has just opened a new large department store.  I do enjoy a good excuse to shop...and hey I was on holidays! 

The city streets were clean, colourful and full of culture - even if the people were not as friendly as the Danes. Some even refusing to stop and listen when I wanted to ask for directions. But, I put my earphones in my ears and continue to walk around the bright streets, soaking up Sweden. 

This stone is in memory of Raoul Wallenbergs. 

Wallenbergs helped rescue many Jews from Budapest from 1944-1945.

 He was taken prisoner by the Soviet forces and his fate after that is unknown. 

The plaque here read, "Throughout the world, the name Raoul Wallenbergs stands as a symbol of hope and light in the struggle against persecution and oppression."

This town was so Zen I couldn't help doing some cheeky yoga before heading home. 

It was fantastic!!! 

As much as I enjoyed Malmo, one full day was plenty of time to see it and I was glad to be returning to Copenhagen for the night. I love that city! 

Well, that's it, 

See you in your dreams and fantasies, 

Joey!!!! 

P.S. I'm still stoked I made it to Malmo and back on the Scandinavian trains.
