The Peoples Republic of Sweden

I don't think that it is called that but from what I heard during the run up to the US elections, Sweden is an awful socialist country full of wacky Swedish people. Nothing like AMURIKA! I decided to go there a few weekends ago to experience socialism first hand.

I met up with a bunch of friends and coworkers and we stayed in an apartment in the old part of Stockholm. I think it was called Gamla Stan but I kept calling it Afghanistan to my cab drivers...they thought that was cute. ANYway, it was a crazy drink filled weekend in which I learned a lot about myself and the world that surrounds me...here are some things I learned:

1) Swedish women are just as attractive as I thought they would be
2) Drinking Jim Beam and screaming loudly at 4am is not nice to do when you have roommates. However when one of those roommates is a dumb Polish-American (kind of goes without saying?) girl who chooses to throw a glass of water at you and then the whole glass after telling you to be quiet and you laugh in her face...you can continue to be a drunken asshole with few repercussions.
3) Europeans love scarves. Especially decorative ones with no practical purpose. The amount of t-shirt/scarf combinations I saw in Stockholm almost made me turn gay by contact.
4) The sun goes down at around 2:30pm in the fall/winter in Stockholm. I can't wait for Moscow!
5) Swedish pub food is really fucking tasty

Enjoy some pictures:

This was my reaction to a shot, this swedish girl's wacky personality, and socialism

This is me turning the tables on a girl named Clarissa and explaining it all to her. To the right is the most stylish German guy ever. He works for my company and fluently speaks like 10 languages. Multiculturalism yay!

Sweden was a lot like The Netherlands but way cooler because the people are nicer and hotter, and Stockholm is cleaner and better put together. It's like one big Ikea store with all sexy workers.

Actually, come to think of it, I didn't learn very much at all on my trip to Sweden. It was just another booze filled weekend. But it was quite a lovely country and I will probably go back...in the summer.
