Back again for another post on my life in Stockholm, Sweden. Two interesting places to visit if you're here in Stockholm: Gamla Stan and the Tekniska Museet (National Museum of Science and Technology).
First up, Gamla Stan (T-Bana: Gamla Stan). The old town of Stockholm, consisting of medieval alleys, cobbled stone streets and archaic architecture. Here you can find the Royal Palace, the Noble Museum, the Stockholm Cathedral, a few churches and of course numerous lovely quaint shops.
We headed to Gamla Stan for the second time after a game of pool on Wednesday afternoon. It was already late afternoon by then and the sun was starting to set. The first photo here was our first visit in January, when it was still cold and snowy. The weather has improved so much now and we're seeing the warm rays of the sun almost every day!
Gorgeous old buildings at Gamla Stan that surrounds the square. Don't forget to take a walk down the alleys and discover those little shops by yourself. Some hidden gems maybe?
And little ducks bobbing along the river (:
We spent our evening sitting by the river, taking ten thousand photos of ourselves and watching the sun set before our very eyes. It was beautiful.
I've never loved and welcomed the sun so much all my life (considering how scorching hot and humid the weather is in Singapore all year round). It feels like a blessing to wake up and see the sun shining through my bedroom window. People are so much happier and friendlier as the weather gets warmer. I can't wait for Spring to arrive!

Next attraction: Tekniska Museet (National Museum of Science and Technology).
As recommended by our Ideation professor Greg, we visited Tekniska Museet two weekends ago. 80 SEK entrance fee and we were free to roam around and view the 100 Innovations exhibition as well as the Game On exhibition. It was a great place with many things for curious 'kids' like us to see, feel, touch, learn and experience.
Here's a photo of us in front of one of the 100 Innovations. I believe that is some sort of vehicle?
There were many other interesting innovations there too, the the evolution of the telephone, different types of sewing machines over the years and a really cool machine to pit our mind power against our friends!
Old school pinball machines at the Game On exhibition. My favourite!
The Game On exhibition showcases some of the old school games from the 1960s till today. They have early arcade games for us to play as well, like Pacman and Space Battle. Of course more modern games such as Super Mario, DDT and Daytona racing games (as seen below).
Our dear friend Tai Wen Ping concentrating hard on his race with a little Eurasian boy teehee.
Pikachu~!!
Three of us after a long day at the museum. Dear Blanche was wandering off alone most of the time so no pictures with her that day ):
Addresss: Museivagen 7, 115 93 Stockholm
(We took Bus 69 from T Centralen and alighted at Museiparken)
More photos of the four SMU kids together next time!
We have lots on our to-do list when Spring arrives so watch this space!!
