From Oslo S to Stockholm C

Stockholm is my third stop in Scandinavia.

After the final cleaning up of my hostel room, I left BSN around 1pm. I had three pieces stuffs to carry. My luggage, a backpack and another medium sized hand carry bag. Pulling the luggage on wheels with alternate hands reduced some load, and this will make sure my arm muscle tones are relatively even after this ‘exercise’.

First, I took the coach from Oslo S to Lillestrøm and a train from Lillestrøm to Stockholm C.

Total journey is approximately six and a half hours.

The seat I booked for was facing the opposite direction to where the train is heading, thus, I transferred to an empty seat facing the head of the train.

The Pris (price) of the ticket is 400SEK (Approximately 72SGD).

Will get a Swedish Telenor SIM card and buy an international card to call back home.

大约在一点左右，我离开了BSN宿舍。带了行李，背包和一个手提带。行李很重， 所以我得用不同的手托。这样能保证我手臂的肌肉得到一样的运动。

我在火车站坐巴士到另一个火车站搭火车。

从奥斯陆到瑞典。整个行程是六个半小时。票价大约72新币。

我会在瑞典买一个SIM卡，和国际电话卡。之后我就可以打电话回家。

A series of unfortunate events

Today's the third day after the incident.

Walking along Karl Johan street, I coincidentally reached a street where there were a lot of people. Looking closely, people were surrounding countless candles and flowers in front of the Oslo Cathedral. There were a couple of huge transmitters around and the media was interviewing people at the location.

The atmosphere was very solemn. People, whether young or old were coming from all different directions. They held onto the bouquets and assembled in front of the church. After reading some of the messages written in English, I went over to a tent resembling a Singapore's night market stall and bought a Carnation. I prayed, and left it among the area.

I went over a second time after strolling. This time, I entered by a side door into the Domkirken church (Oslo Cathedral) lit by thousand of candles. I sat there awhile, and left.

There were many people walking along Karl Johan street, despite the unrest.

It's very unfortunate that Norway (Oslo), such a peaceful country had faced such a tragic incident. After looking through BBC photos a couple of minutes, it was really disturbing. But the next day, it was back to normal. The second day after, to the Folk Museum and yesterday, to the National Gallery.

And today, walking on Karl Johan street.
