One-day trip to Sweden

From Copenhagen, going to Sweden is the easiest thing. The countries are connected by a bridge just outside of the city, next to Copenhagen Int'l Airport. So of course I had to take my brother to Sweden while he was here.

While it wasn't my first time in Sweden (I had been there for New Year's about 13 years ago), it was my first time in Malmö, which is the city closest to the bridge on the Swedish side. I had forgotten how beautiful this country is. It's of course quite similar to Denmark, yet so different. My brother thought the city was kinda ugly, but I found Malmö to be a lot prettier than Copenhagen, idk.


What I liked most was that all the Christmas decoration was still up. In Copenhagen there was no trace of all the amazing Christmas lights anymore when we returned, but Malmö still looked all Christmassy and that was great. ♥

I did expect to be able to read and understand more, now that I kind of know Danish, but Swedish is, while very similar, a lot more different than I expected and trying to understand Swedish had been just as hard as 13 years ago, haha.

Giant. Glowing. Teddy! He welcomed us at the station. What more is there to say? I love Sweden. 8D

Extraordinarily bad picture of a great mall: Emporia. Gotta love that architecture.

Inside Emporia. I fell in love with their Christmas deco.
Also: pink escalatooooors!

Especially with that tree. Why so pretty? Can I take it home? Please?

The mall also had a Dim Sum restaurant! =O I think it was the first I have ever seen outside of China! Of course we had to have lunch there! ;___; 

On the rooftop of the mall is an observation deck. On good days you can oversee the whole bay with the Oresund Bridge and Denmark. Of course we chose the only day it rained all day long. Well, you can still kinda see the bridge. Sorta.

City Center.

More Christmas deco.

Pretty city.

Some more of the pretty city.

It was kind of a pity that it rained all day. We had good weather all the other days. -.-
We didn't do much, except going to that mall and visiting the city center. My brother bought some souvenirs, I went to Starbucks (because we only have two in Copenhagen and these are close together at the ooooother end of the city. A tragedy for an addict like me!) and then we went back home to have that amazing dinner and the awesome Japanese restaurant I talked about in my last entry.

Oh well. But we've been to Sweden, haha.
I'd like to travel to Gothenborg and Landskrona (where I have been 13 years ago) again and I really wanna travel to Oslo, because Norway is the only Scandinavian country that I haven't been able to visit so far, but then I just purchased tickets for my next big adventure, so once again Europe will have to wait. :)
