I've finished the first leg of my journey and I am traveling into the city of Stockholm. The airport is about 30 minutes outside of town but the bus has wifi, which is pretty awesome.
Its currently 3:20 in the morning in chicago. We are 6 hours ahead and I think Lithuania will jump 1 more timezone. The plane trip went okay, not a whole lot of trouble, there was one crying baby but I more felt sad for the parents than upset. This was probably one of the worst times to fly on a plane because jetlag won't kick in until later this afternoon since the night only felt like traveling till 2:00am. It was weird in that we flew far enough north to fly over greenland. The sun never set, they had to close all the windows and turn off the lights to give the impression of darkness and night.
What I've seen of Sweden thus far is really beautiful. If you ever been to the Northwoods of Wisconsin than you get the picture. Lots of lakes, rivers, evergreen trees and farmland. I've seen enough volkswagens to permanently bruise someone's arm. The odd thing is that mixed in with all this evergreen beauty is a lot of IKEA looking factories...lots of flat roofs, clean lines, and proportionally spaced windows and sections. Stockholm should be fun!
