A Room with a View

Despite the small size of our studio apartment, I often feel lucky to have such a great view of downtown Stockholm from this spot up the hill. On a clear, warm summer day, the sky around us is often dotted with a dozen of colorful hot air balloons.



We are also situated near a football stadium, where games and concerts are hosted. Recently the Rolling Stones were there to perform and we could even hear their music from our home! Yesterday there was some sort of football game, at the end of which was a brilliant display of fireworks. Thinking back at the difficulty of standing among the hundreds of thousands of people to catch a glimpse of the firework shows in Hong Kong, I just can't help but amaze at the ease with which I can enjoy firework from my humble abode. It's a million-dollar view.
