Scandinavia United Travel Group

What an impromptu trip this has been. Armed with the Scanrail (which allows me to travel 5 days on the railway within Scandinavia, which for the uninitiated, includes norway, sweden, denmark and finland, i explored all 4 countries, trying to cover as much ground as possible. Norway trains are super expensive. One way train from Oslo to Bergen would cost about S$100 and cos' i was the last minute addition to the trip, the prices were exorbitant due to the easter period too.

My initial plan was to go Russia for the easter but due to kiasu international students, i was unable to register in time. Hence, not wanting to be the only person left in finland, i researched dublin and spain, trying to link up with the danish people but it was too ex. 800sgd to go barcelona! hence, norway beckons. Summore SN already research so much and i juz had to follow his super comprehensive plan given. Just look at our travel group..

Songning, Emmy and Grace Thng (from denmark)
Me, Jenny and Amy( from finland... the 2 copykats also tagged along after i told them abt my plans and they helped me do my accomms planning)
Grace Yan, Sharmaine, Sharon and William from Lund, Sweden

I barely knew any of them.. merely nordic queen whom i nvr met before and the rest only heard of Songgggggggggg ningggggggg... I left on the 11th afternoon and took a Viking line ferry to Stockholm... Watched a nice movie Casanova on board, ate, slept, partied and casinoed there.. All this was done in solitude cos' i travelled alone.. which was pretty dangerous cos this African suddenly came in at night and i was apprehensive having watched Eurotrip and being reminded of the italian gay guy who went into carriages and borgiano/miskusi people.The ferry finally reached after 15 hrs and i had to carry my heavy backpack and walk around Gam la Stan. The old town of Stockholm. I watched the change of guards there and the royal palace.. it was nicer than buckingham's change of guards mainly cos' i had unobscured view too. I then took a 9 hour train ride to Oslo, norway to meet the other people. Another long and boring solitary train ride .. i think i buy scanrail spent more than half my time travelling on train. i then arrived at the railway and found our hostel in a seedy area.. Sentrum Pensionjat.. but the hostel was SUPER nice.. comfy beds, imba bathing facility wif damn nice english music which reminded me of perfect10 jc days.. however the area was actually a red light district and i was actually propositioned..

Shall say more about norway later cos the pics of the natural scenery depict the whole journey. I left Norway on the 16th, Easter Sun and last minute decided to go to Lund and bunk wif William since i din pay for accoms in stockholm like jenny n amy did and i still had days left on my scanrail. After an insightful journey abt hong kong, We reached at 1030 pm and watched the mummy 2 which was showing on tv whilst eating mee. then the next day, i settled all my admin booking stuff for dublin and back to helsinki.. then i decided i might as well travel to dublin from denmark since it was cheaper.. the lund people then cooked me a fantastic feast.. it's interesting cos they have duty chefs for different days and all of them can cook so well!

so here i am in denmark now. andrew n me walked back from lyndby at midnight last night cos we missed the last bus.. but here i am! I will be in denmark til thursday, then go to dublin to meet julian who is hosting me! Edelene, huiting and fred will be there too.. while the denmark peeps are arriving in dublin on saturday.. ahhh the coming together of NUS people in foreign lands.. the sole purpose of SEP: travel bug
