I went out last Saturday and found myself wandering around the pleasant city centre - aimlessly looking for something to take me by surprise. When I came to the Berzelii Park, I entered the China Theatre and discovered a nightclub!
The China Theatre is an impressive venue, and was originally unveiled as a cinema in 1928. Architect Albin Stark drew inspiration from his recent trip to China, hence the name I guess. Anyway, today the place is mostly used for concerts, shows, musicals and so on. In other words, if you want to hit a movie, this is not the place nowadays! I found a long queue outside, and a nightclub inside - which made me feel both happy and uninformed all at once. The latter feeling however faded after about a minute. The club for the evening was called Pom-Pom. I reckoned I fit in perfectly in my disco ball outfit. Other nights at the China Theatre you can find clubs such as Raw Fusion and Hanoi by night! If you’re coming to Stockholm looking for a place with an East-Asian club feel to it, look no further. This is definitely where I’ll be going every time I feel this urge anyway. Well, that was all for now.
Party on.

Should you not own a grill, or for some reason forgot to bring it on your vacation to Stockholm - fear not! There’s a terrific alternative right here in the heart of central downtown. On Drottninggatan lies the immaculate dream for anyone who savours meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, and anything else grill-able. The name of the place is naturally 
The islands that together comprise Fjäderholmarna (The Bay Islands) are easily reached by a mere 25-minute boat ride from the city centre. The islands have quite an intriguing part of Stockholm history, being first mentioned in an official document back in 1381 when a Swedish viceroy bought one of them. Since then, the group of islands have been both inhabited, as well as uninhabited. Having been in possession of both the Swedish navy as well as regular Stockholmers who were simply living their lives there. The main island, Fjäderholmen, once had a restaurant that could hold 550 guests! Although always an important position along the vital sea route to the city, these islands are today part of the unique national park of Stockholm and have therefore become a popular tourist destination for anyone who enjoys a nice sight. I went out and wandered along the historic buildings and inspected everything, including museums, cafés, restaurants, the marina, and also a wide variety of craftsmen and women who ply their trade according to historic fashion. Head on out to Fjäderholmarna for a nice day in Stockholm’s closest archipelagic islands! Find out more 
This bag is amazing when it comes to its carrying capabilities! Usually I’ll be visiting my home at least once during my shopping days, just to offload some bags so I can keep on going. But ever since I brought my newly purchased oversized plastic bag from IKEA, I can make an entire days worth of shopping all go down into one single bag. Impressive, I know! It might not be the most stylish artefact I have been known to carry, but at least it’s Swedish design in its most true shape and colours. Let me tell you about the other day: In a single bag-carrying-shopping-spree I managed to first visit every store there is in 
The Nobel Prize Banquet is held annually on December 10th, to commemorate the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death. During that time of year the attention of the world is on our town, and the intriguing prospects of who wins what and who wears what. However, this building is far more exciting than that, and what’s better is the fact that every day the Nobel Prize Banquet isn’t on, you’ll be allowed in! The actual building itself was built between 1911 and 1923, and contains some 8 million red bricks. Centred on two large squares, the design by architect Ragnar Östberg also comprises an outer yard and an indoor hall. This hall of course is where all the posh Nobel Prize dining takes place. The organ in the hall is known to be the largest in all of Scandinavia, holding an impressive 10,270 pipes! So what is the reason I’m telling you all of this? Well, because if you make a visit to Stockholm without going up the tower of the 
I gathered some friends and we decided to hit the southern parts of town, that being Södermalm. This area contains several great bars and (or depending if you dance or not) nightclubs that appeal to those with the rock gene embedded within their musical souls. I’m pretty sure I’ve told you all about 
Not that this beautiful old part of town is one to hurry through however. Around every little corner one can find the most intriguing part of history, a store, or a restaurant that serves food worthy of the buildings in which they reside. One of the finer in this category would have to be Gyldene Freden. (The golden peace) This restaurant more or less looks exactly the same way it did when it opened in 1722. Throughout the years several famous people have dined here on a regular basis, including the painter Anders Zorn who one evening even bought the place, thus saving it from bankruptcy. Today the restaurant is thriving and they serve a mean plate of meatballs. I had my sight set for something different so I decided to head on over to Pontus by the sea. This rather fashionable restaurant lies by the seaside front of the Old Town, and allows you to enter the magical world of a proper French brasserie right in the heart of the city. They also have fresh seafood on a daily basis, and that’s what watered my mouth this time.
Lately I have ventured around the proximity of the central parts of town. Safe and sound upon the sea that is. The other day I enjoyed a nice ride up along the northeast coastline, passing Djurgården, then under the bridge by Lidingö, before going slightly inwards west - and eventually ending up at the beautiful scenery of Bockholmen. Here I lay anchor and sat down in the nice sunshine, before ordering a man-sized brunch. I occasionally dream of these culinary encounters I must confess, and this was right up there on the seven seas. With no time to waste, I got back out on the open sea and headed back south. Passing by all the other sailors and performing the customary wave that we acknowledge each other with I in due course found myself on the southern coastline of the Stockholm inlet. Feeling strangely famished I decided to sit down at the lovely 
As you may have gathered by now, I’m very much into heavy shopping sprees with the occasional café, restaurant, or bar visit wedged in between. But a girl must enjoy the local culture on offer too, right? I took some friends with me last weekend, and we all went out and purchased
