| According to Wikipedia: Stockholm is known for its beauty, its buildings and architecture, its abundant clean and open water, and its many parks. It is sometimes referred to as Venice of the North. |

| The pictures in this post will show my walking route from Sveriges Radio, or Swedish Radio, to Kungsträdgården where I take the subway home. I love walking here in the summer. So it was fun when Radio Stockholm borrowed me from my permanent employer, Sigtunabygden. |
 |
| We brought Tatit here to taste some Swedish food. I like the atmosphere here. |
 |
| Segway. The first time I tried it was back in 2004, when it was being introduced to Sweden. I saw my first Segway in Radio Stockholm's terrace. I used to work for Radio Stockholm as a news reporter, and since the Segway PR-people were being interviewed, I also got curious and tried this two-wheeled electric vehicle. Now they are a usual sight in the summer. |

| behind Tatit is a small monument to Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish counterpart of Oscar Schindler. Raoul Wallenberg was a Swedish humanitarian and diplomat who rescued tens of thousands of Jews (in Hungary) from the Holocaust by issuing passports and housing them in buildings established as Swedish territories. |
 |
| Behind Tatit is the Dramaten, or the Royal Dramatic Theatre, Sweden's national stage for drama, founded in 1788. Around 1000 shows are put on annually on its eight stages. |

| A visit to Sweden should always include a taste of their salmon. |
