Tokyo Ichiban
Cobblestone roads from Gamla Stan(Old City)
Not all of Stockholm is like this. Just the Gamla Stan area in the center that is preserved for tourism and history.
With such beautiful sunlight, clear skies and a cool breeze, people are obsessed with sunbathing and getting a healthy tan. Chilaxxxing under the sun.
Gochisou at EAST in Ostermalmstorg. Vincent's fathers Asian restaurant.
Longboarding is the big craze in Stockholm. Orange Cadillac wheels and a flat sole shoes like you don't care!
Getting around the city on your board is an experience that will open new views towards the city and everyday lives of people living there.
A photographer/SkateTour Coordinator I personally respect, Tanaka Tomonori (RIPZINGER) said in an interview, walking too slow, bikes too fast, skateboard just right.
Let me add to this by recommending a mini-cruiser for all your travel.
Also a small digital camera with a good grip and focus strapped with a shoulder strap should be perfect for your solo adventure.

「贅沢」(ぜいたく)ー Too much of the good stuff.
The week I spent in Stockholm is none like any other experience I had in a city. Top notch aesthetics but not too uptight as Paris, far more clear sky and air than Shanghai, better transportation to get around than Tokyo. To top it off sun don't go down till 10 in the night and comes up before 3 in the morning.
Of course there's the long ice age darkness(winter) and heel bruising cobblestones, visit Stockholm. It's weird enough and too good to miss out.
Explore further than America, inside China and above France!
1995年にアメリカで公開、数年後には田舎のTSUTAYAの棚にも並んでいた映画「KIDS」。ハロルドハンターはじめNYのスケートボーダーが多数出演しているということお気に入り映画の一つでもあった。映画の結末はさておき、今回の旅があまりにもテリーとキャスパーが送る一日と重なっていたので久々に映画を見返した。

びんす〜、もり〜す〜、にっく〜
I just spent a week in Stockholm to undergo a special IQ enhancement program.
Dumb just got dumber, but with a Scandinavian twist to it. Look out for some beautiful pictures from Sweden. All dynamites and meatballs.

In Uganda, nobody knows about skateboarding as soon as we leave the slum area of Kitintale. Thirty years after its worldwide expansions, the skateboarding culture appeared in Uganda. As a skateboarder myself, I started to document the birth of this subculture since the early beginning and will follow its expansion, influenced by the Ugandan daily life context and African culture. For the last few years I have been going back to Uganda for two months every year to document the growing scene. This subculture grows every year and the idea of the project is to document the evolution in the next decade.
