yannisSo I arrived in Stockholm, hoping to attend tomorrows concert of Lindemann.
Freezing cold, around 0C or even a little bit colder, freezing wind... Haven't experienced such weather for a year. I have forgotten what real cold is. No way to go outside without gloves and a hat.
It was not a straight flight, but through Vienna.
In Vienna I learned about the first case of coronavirus in Greece. A 38-years old woman in Thessaloniki. Nothing to worry about, the virus only kills older males (50+) who don't smoke so she will be fine. But the panic had already begun, people are emptying grocery stores and super markets in Thessaloniki. Lol.
So, what else.
Ryanair/Laudamotion/Wizzair (and I will have to use all these three airlines on my journey) had once again tightened limits on hand luggage, so a day before the journey I bought a new extra small back pack. I bought it ten meters away from Omonoia, and it coated me 5 Euro. It is a fake chinese copy of the most famous school backpack of Swedish company Fjallraven Kanken lol. Original costs 90 Euro lol. Fuck Swedes lol.
While in Vienna I found this measuring box for hand luggage. It says 40*20*25. Well, the only thing I had to measure it with was my ticket, hence A4. Guess what. In reality it is exactly as wide as the short side and exactly as deep as the long side of A4. Hence more like 21*29. And yeah, the third dimension is probably really 40, A4 was too short to measure it exactly.
There were some people with masks on the flight from Athens, fucking fools. Some with simple chirurgical masks and some with more elaborate ones, with valves. About dozen of them. Idiots.
And also some annoying Olympiacos fans, chanting their annoying fan chants from time to time. Tomorrow Olympiacos is scheduled to play in London with Arsenal, as I understand.
What was really good is that nobody spoke to me in Greek during the control in Athens, like it happened a few times before lol. So I wasn't embarrassed by showing my god awful skills in my supposed mother tongue lol. Also, there were no additional passport control neither in Vienna nor in Stockholm, which was nice too. I remember I faced such control in Helsinki and as far as I remember in Berlin.
On the flight to Stockholm I sat next to an elderly pair of Poles, who spent half of the journey eating homemade sandwiches and mandarins, saving money on the airline food. Well, at least my place was near the window.
And then, freezing cold, freezing wind, dark Skavsta and an hour something long bus drive to Stockholm.
Prices here are amazing as always. 0,5kg piece of Gouda cheese costs 50 Krones (5 Euro), mandarins about 30 Krones (3 Euro) and a ticket for a 75-minutes ride in underground - 37 Krones (3,7 Euro).
How do these people even live in such cold with such prices. Fucking Scandinavia.
