Swedish Nerd Vs. The World

The microstate San Marino is surrounded by Italy and it's one of the smallest countries in the world, only 33 000 people live there. It's the only country with more vehicles than people and when we arrived by bus to the mountain that forms the capital, we noticed that some kind of classic cars race was going through the country. People were standing on the side of the roads cheering while the drivers waved to them. The city was founded by Saint Martinus and several Christian refugees in the year 301 and quickly became the center of Christian refugees that fled Roman persecution. The city on top of the mountain Titano was guarded by three towers that was constructed in the 11th, 13th and 14th century and they are now the main tourist attractions. More than 3 million tourists invade the country each year and me and my friend Andreas was two of them. It was a really bad day for going to San Marino since the view is the main thing and we went there on a rainy and foggy day. I c...

Me and my mute girlfriend Felicia went on a cruise from Karlskrona in Sweden to Gdynia in Poland to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. She isn't really mute but this time around she was because she was so sick that she couldn't speak. It was a weird and frustrating feeling not to be able to communicate with her but as soon as we arrived in Poland, she got a bit better at least! The boat trip wasn't that nice, it felt like a boat that had been left behind from the 80's and maybe not cleaned since then. And drunk Swedish men spoke openly about going to Poland to have sex with prostitutes. When we arrived in the harbour of Gdynia we were met by a gray fog called Poland. We had just one day to see the three cities of Gdynia, Sopot and Gdansk that have grown together as one. We quickly left Gdynia for Sopot by train, and the train was like a time machine to the 90s, with the guys dressing in 90's fashion like bomber jackets and the girls wearing tiny skirts even th...

China is the only country I've been to without knowing I was there. I went to Hong Kong on my trip around the world about 6 years ago and I thought it was its own country. I had no interest in going there but Christian who I went with wanted to see it so I followed along.  This was the first country that I had ever been to outside of Europe and it sure was different than I was used to, not in a good way though. The city was so polluted that they had to pretend it was a fog so that tourist wouldn't mind, but it's strange how it's a constant fog everyday in Hong Kong then. I bought a surgical mask to try and fit in, and to avoid all the fumes. At least I thought that was why they wore them, but I later found out it was only sick people who wore them to prevent the virus to spread.  Since I'm almost 2 metres long and got freckles and red hair you can say I stood out amongst the crowd in Hong Kong, but even more so when I went to the famous Temple Street Ma...
