Japan, my love, you must understand... it's not you it's me. can we still be friends? I'll call you.

Three days.
Count em', 1..2..3..
Until I hop on an East bound plane for Stockholm
KIX --> PEK --> ARN

It seems silly to be oooing and awwing over Swedish design and sites when I am in this amazing land of Japan, but I have grown tired recently of Japanese life, need some change of pace and new inspiration, if only for one glorious week. I have been fully packed since Sunday.

Here is what I have garnered so far about the self proclaimed "Capitol of Scandinavia":

Everyone is tall, blond, extremely good-looking and wears heaps of black






The modern art looks impeccable



The vintage clothing raids will be spectacular...read and look



Way out West will be mind blowing...Beirut, My Bloody Valentine, Echo & The Bunnymen, Vivian Girls, Wolfmother, the list goes on

A cafe with a decor inspired by one of my favorite modern artists, Joan Miro



Swimming on the FjÀderholmarna - The Feather Islands



And with a high of 70, lows in the high 40s, I am bringing a jacket.

  1. "Everyone is tall, blond, extremely good-looking and wears heaps of black" I've always thought this of Scandinavian women. Did it turn out to be true? This is DeAnna, BTW. I set up a blog for my family's cruise next year hence the Cruise2010 user name.
