This was a like a dream when one evening I got an idean from my flat mate what about going to Norway one of his friend from Austria who lives in Sweden coined that idea. My head slowly nodded towatds yes though I came back from an exotic trip from Poland . There begins an another adventure trip towatds the north west cold Scandinavian . Honestly nothing I know about Norway except my knowledge from BBC echos that it is one of the peace loving country . The first step begins with checking for visa , ofcourse I had my schengen visa and that leads to skip the visa . Then towards booking the ticket and planning a trip . First we started with exploring the trip from mountain Norway capital and traveling all way upnorth to Nordkapp and town to home of santa claus ) Rovaneimei) and back to capital of Finns. But how the time I was partying rest of the time I hate phone conversation with an unknown person who sits in Swedish capital and claim himself an Austrian . So I leave it to my sweetheart flatty to book everything . Now I have to give a little introduction about my flatty Indian ( Atleast he still holds an navcy blue Indian passport though he was wandering as much as Margo Bolo ). He is abosulute computer geek and if you are smart enough then you can sell blinking LED as state of art GPS device for 100 bugs to him . He lives half the time with GPS and rest of the time only planning about his thesis work indeed he never made any progress on it . So this two guys were hopping from site to site and using all the technological survilence system , creditcards , student id , discounts blab la … come up with a great deal at the end .A week earlied I got an invitation to my outlook titled “Heaven in Norway” …. The much awaited day comes when we bagged everything ( hehe , nothing but 3 dirty jeans and couple of jackets and some private items ) ., I left Helsinki in a crusie much earlier since I have to play 3 days for much excited game In the world called cricket ,. Though it was little bit drixxling and I slept in a mosque with 15 crusaders from Afgan and Pakistan , I quite enjoyed the atmosphere . Got couple of birtts and enjoyed their company as usual. They are great buddies and occasionally disappoint my mind which never satisfied on anything . Well , Our great trip begins with a SMS from geek ( We call the great Indian flat mate who roams around with latest multimedia computer on earth named N95 ) . We see near to the Mariatorget and I got a metro from Halunda ( Where I stayed for 3 days ) to Maritorget . And I had seen there geek and good looking Austrian guy who was non stop speaking in phone . I heard from geek that he recently got a gal friend . So that immediately splashes on my mind and definelty don’t want to disturb him . Then he waved the hand sign torwards left and we soon waling towatds Stockholm street in a sunny afternoon . That leads to some basement where it looks completely dirty but soon we got an elevator and ends up a much nicer apartment which smells and shows African . First I thought he has an African gal friend and I confirmed it when I see the African women later he claimed her as his landlord. I must say about her apartment , it is so clean and kept really neat , it was shared by a 3 people and which is located almost in downtown of stockhoml . As usual lazy ass like me just fall in sleep for couple of hours in the mean time geek went out to buy batteries for his newly bought camera ( he is as proud as his gal friend which though he haven’t had one , about camera ) …. Finally we somehow sync up in the evening decided to have a walk around Stockholm and we don’t want to disturb our loverboy ( we call hear after the cool , polite Austrian buddy as loverboy). Also he want to wash his dirty clothes which indeed stings lesser than mine . So I decided with geek to hang around the city . Sooner geek made couple of phone calls with another 2 desis to see in Stockholm . Geek said we are going to see those buddies in T-Centrum which is the centre of stockhol in 8.15 . As usual in IST ( Indian standard time is what ever the time agree + 1 hour + x , x here as an excuse ). Meanwhile we are attaracked by a kino where it shows death proof one the Quantin movie but we never had a time , so I follwed geek to meet desis . And I have to buy some sandels to wlak around youth hostel but as usual I went after the shops closed , eventulally that saved some bugs and I hoped myelsef I am dirty enough to survive without sandals . We met desis though they are not that important for this blog and they are lovely aqauintance and studies and business mind there we really had some cool business ideas and at 11 almost we decided to go home and as usual I don’t have any idean about where abouts of loverboy home , So the geek took me somewhere and announced I also don’t know the place and then he opened his nice toy N95 and opened a GPS . He slected plan route . There it shows a very a nice route . I asked a very first primate question that can I trust this little toy. With grin in his face he said Yo ( it means in finnish yes) . Then we were walking around the town for 15 minutes . Then I suspected and asked the geek , he taken his eyes around N95 and look around and said we came back to the same place . At god shake we cursed all those developers who developed the software and use our common sense to find our way . Meanwhile my little angel in my brain popped up to scream about partying …. And we made a call to loverboy and still unknown reason he don’t want to show up at that night … Since it is too expensive to get it we decided to walk around . We got two heinkenen in hand and we just want to check how the sweds treat a dirty looking foreigners hold a beer and look alcohol in a 5 star best hotel in town . We went inside with little scare in mind whether he allow us inside the Grand Hotel of Stockholm . Ofcourse we managed to get in to reception and want to know the availability of room for next day night .As expected the answer was NO . We came out with a conclusion appearance matters . But still I want to check it out whether the information given by receptionist is true , we opened our N95 and browsed on interner for the phone no of the hotel and made a international roaming call ask for next day availability . Still the answer was NO .. We felt happy and concluded that Scandinavia is a place where all the people are pretty much equal . And we finally we got on some metro without realizing that’s our last one and geek ordered to get off at some place and we walked all the way somewhere and when I am about to say we sleep on the street , Geek said we near to loverboys home . There we made a call to loverboy and ofcourse he picked us up where we met nice Swedish gal who was claimed as his gal friend which compleately changed my opinion about his afraican gal friend . And the next day alarm rang at 6 in the morning when I was launched to toilet to get ready .
