Anzuzu Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Now I hope they will arrive. And if they won't, we'll collect them from the box office. I hope it's like in 2007, I saw 3 different support acts back then Alphabeat was the best of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droopsy Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 And if they won't, we'll collect them from the box office. Alphabeat was the best of them. I wasn't to excited about any of them... I don't even remember which one I liked the best I remember yelle quite vividly, but I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollipopski Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I don't think Erik Hassle will support his EU tour either, only the UK tour. I'm hoping for something good. I did like alphabeat last time and I think that for most times he has good support act. I've been searching but I cant find anything about it. I just got some kind of delivery notification that I have to go to my local post office and pick up my ticket there. I just hope it looks pretty and not like the normal ticnet ticket because I spent stupidly more money on that than just buying it here, acctually aroung 10 pounds more Ahhh!!! Do you know what I just realised? Only 22 days left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I got a ticket telling me I have a ståplats to see Mika on torsdag 18 mars 2010. What a nice coincidence! And on torsdag, too! May I ask the locals for a not-to-miss list? Is Stockholm good for museum-ing? Architectural highlights? Cute corners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're interested in history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_%28ship%29 Picture: http://www.aidan.info/images/hsr/sweden_vasa_2007oct19.jpg When I was little we could follow on TV when they pulled the ship out of the see! It's a great museum! And maybe this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_Medieval_Stockholm When they were about to build a parking house for the government they found the old city wall and turned the whole thing into a museum.

violet_sky Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Wow that looks impressive! I have to admit, though, that the first thing that came to my mind about V(W)asa, was not exactly a ship, but this: It's the edible counterpart to IKEA over here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) Ah, the Vasa ship! Isn't the name of the knäckebröd related to the name of the ship? Vasa is the name of the Swedish royal house too, isn't it? I visited the Vasa back in '88 when I was in Sweden for the first time. Ages ago. This might be nice if you're interested in Stieg Larsson's books: http://librarian.lishost.org/?p=2332 Or maybe a visit to the biggest IKEA in the world: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikea_Kungens_kurva Thank you for all the suggestions Sienna! We will be there for 3 full days so that means we have at least 2 days left for playing the tourist. Edited February 26, 2010 by Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipopski Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 It's hard to come up with things to do in your own hometown if you were to come there as a tourist. But as mentioned, the Vasa museum is a very popular attraction for tourists, and swedish familys. With this weather, stockholm isn't as pretty as usual but I think that it's always kinda cosy to walk around in a island in the middle of stockholm known as Gamla stan. It means old town. It's the same island as the royal palace and they have a lot of old beautiful houses and narrow alleys. This is also known to many tourists so it has been a little exploited with a lot of souvernir shops. Here's how it can look: http://images.google.se/images?q=gamla%20stan&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:sv-SE:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=sv&tab=wi They have also inaugurated a skywiew on the globe (the big white golf ball looking arena next to the venue where Mika will sing) and from there they say that you'll have a complete wiew over stockholm. I have not been on it yet, nor do I know anybody who has but it could maybe be fun if you are here on vaccation. Like the London eye perhaps. http://www.globearenas.se/sv/skyview.aspx Then there is a a wearhouse called NK, they put beautiful christmas decorations every winter but they have already taken them down. But they have a lot of pretty clothes, shoes, perfumes and thing for the home. Some a bit to expensive but inspirational to whatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Yes I'm coming. I have the ticket, the flight and the accommodation (very central, nice!). The only thing left to sort out is public transport to the venue & Ikea. It's cold out there at the moment, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, it looks like it's been cold! Overnight lows of -10 to -15C?! Seriously, I live on the Canadian prairie and yet plan a trip to what must be the one civilized corner of the planet that's actually colder than where I live.

Seriously, I live on the Canadian prairie and yet plan a trip to what must be the one civilized corner of the planet that's actually colder than where I live. It's not so cold at the moment, -6 degrees tonight, but we have longer days now and the sun is doing good, if it shows! Lots of snow though, more than we have had in ages! But with a little luck maybe some of it will go away before the 18th. To the venue, take the tube, Green Line, station Globen. There is a big mall next to the venue, convenient for food and to get warmed up. To IKEA, take the tube, Red Line, station Skärholmen. A 10 minutes walk under the free-way from there. Skärholmens Centrum is one of the biggest shopping centres in Sweden, prices are okay, hundreds of shops, that is where ordinary people do their shopping! There is a bus too, going from Stockholms city direct to IKEA, but I'm not sure where it starts from, I can find out more about it if someone is interested.
