I did the obligatory goodbyes in Stockholm with unprecedented good weather. It's funny the way living in a ski resort gives you a hightened respect for weather conditions and how unreliable weather forecasts can be. Everyday so much depends on temperature, snow conditions, wind and visability amongst other things. Pretty much my whole time in Stockholm was met with gorgeous blue skies and warm weather. I was laying out in the park with friends working on my pre-Thailand tan without much trouble at all.
Jenny came out to see me off at the airport a few hours earlier so we had a bit of time to kill. After soaking in some sun accross the street for a while we spotted a giant chess set - we were stopped by the police while walking there, apparently two people wandering around the unexplored areas of Arlanda airport is considered suspicious behavior. When we told the guy that we were walking over to check out the chess set while we waited for my flight he replied: 
"Chess set? What chess set? I've never seen THAT before. Very well, Carry on" Or something to that effect. Unfortunately jenny is not the father-educated chess geek that I am which actually says more about her lack of skills than the abunance of mine.I sad my sad goodbyes and began to realise that it was goodbye Swedish and back to English for some time now. Sure there's always facebook chat and a few magazines and books I've taken with me but on the plus side it will be nice to be able to adequately express myself once again.
