Finally! This is my retrospective of some fun trips that I've done about A HALF A YEAR AGO. I know. I should do updates more often!
So this bit is about my trip to Stockholm with Pictura, a photo club at Åbo Akademi University in Turku, my home town. For the record, I'm not at all happy with the way my photos turned out! I was too busy thinking about and writing a job application during this weekend, and this haunted my mind... Not good. Especially since I didn't get the job!:(
In short, this was our plan:
- Thursday evening: departure with Viking Line
- Saturday: Photo fair
- Sunday: guided tour in the Stockholm subway/metro (the most interesting part!). The tour was on the blue line. If you're interested in a art tour in the Stockholm metro, you can find more info here (see link!). You can do the tour by yourself (d.i.y.) or with a group it's better to book a tour with the guides.

Found this store. They sell books and stuff, mostly with a feminist and/or queer agenda.
I had seen the adverts when searching books for my studies. |

We went out for a beer in the evening.

| Rissne metro station. The idea was that the different color pipes represent different countries and/or continents. The pipes have also a timeline. |

"Through bishops and county priests the Pope's authority reaches every corner of Europe. In the 12th century there are over 2000 convents in western and eastern Europe. They offer work for craftsmen, refuge for the persecuted, care for the poor, shelter for the traveling and schooling for the children. They also test new methods in agricultre and function as centers for education." |

The photos from the metro stations are a bit too edited, or what do you think?
