I thought today was a perfect day for a little bit of music. The whole way home from work I had this song on repeat, and I still like it! Hopefully I can still listen to it next week and not being tired of it… But that happens so often though! You find a song that you really really like. You listen to it on repeat at every chance you get. Sometimes you’re thinking about making it your ringtone. And then all of a sudden you can’t even listen to the first chord anymore without being bored. So let’s hope that it won’t happen this time!! 
Have a great week!
Hands up if you agree that the hot spot for tourists in every city is the old town area! Or maybe it’s just like that in Stockholm. And despite the fact that I really like the old town here, I hardly go there. Because tourists give me the creeps. Don’t get me wrong, I love to travel myself! But when I’m on vacation I try to keep a low profile and blend in with everyone else. Because I know how annoying tourists can be.
But yesterday I went there on purpose, to go on tourist hunt. And five minutes later I already regretted that decision! But here is what I discovered:
A good identifier is always: caps, backpack, camera on hand:

They always stand in the middle of the street to take nice pictures of each other

They buy stuff, that they will never ever use again once they are home

They always appear in groups

But please don’t get me wrong, I’m not a people hater or a cynic. Sometimes it just feels like if tourists think they are the only people on earth… So if you happen to be on vacation with your loved ones, turn around before you just stop on the middle of the street to take a picture and don’t occupy whole streets when you are in bigger groups. To keep up the common well-being
