I was in Stockholm last summer. It was my fifth time there. At first this town was alike than Helsinki.  The capital of Sweden was very beautiful then. There was gorgeous weather every day. The sun was shining all the time and there was very warm and birds sang all the time.  People were friendly and they liked speaking very much. It was easy to cope with swedish people and they gave me many advice.  This town is very buzzing because there is lot of traffic.

There was lots of very beautiful buildings in Stockholm. There was olds and highs blocks of flats in the town.  There was also gorgeous Royal castle which was huge. You can see these awesome views from hotels windows and balcon. There were many beautiful parks in Stockholm.  

In Stockholm you can visit on the many attract places for example Gröna Lund. Gröna Lund is an huge amusement park which is popular among the tourist. The atmosphere was very happy and friendly in the Gröna Lund.  I have been there many times.

There was much fantastic shopping malls and  I bought many clothes and shoes. I did many bargains there. There was also a wonderful jewellery shop where I bought many fantastic jewelleries. There was also lots of  tiny stores for tourists.

There was many beautiful and fancy cafes  in Stockholm. I spent lot of my time there. Cakes and other delicacies smelt heavenly and tasted yummy.

I hope that I can go to that amazing and friendly town as soon as possible. Generally Stockholm is very laid-back place.
