Scandinavia

So we arrived in Scandinavia. Be calm now, if you don’t know what I am talking about let me tell you some names. Sweden, Stockholm, Norway and Oslo. I can tell you some facts about this places. Let’s start with Sweden.

Sweden is a country located in Scandinavia. It is bordered by Norway on the west and Finland in the northeast; the rest of it borders the Baltic Sea. Due to the relatively small number of inhabitants, Sweden’s landscape is known for its peace and the large forests and lakes.

As you can see it is a nice place to be visited and you will find great Sweden Hotels here.

Stockholm is the capital of Sweden and it is a great place to be visited. Stockholm is centrally situated in Northern Europe. The city is built on 14 islands, where the lake Mälaren opens up into the Baltic Sea. There are many Stockholm Hotels that will be a great choice for you.

Norway is situated in the far north of Europe, but it is not difficult to get to. As part of mainland Europe, Norway can be reached by car, bus and train, and there are a number of ferry connections from Denmark, Germany and the UK.

By the way, you can visit all these great places by car and have a lot of fun. As for accommodation, you will find really nice and affordable Oslo Hotels and Norway Hotels. As I always say, plan ahead.

And have fun!

Coisinhas irritantes

Hoje resolvi escrever sobre umas coisas que eu acho irritantes. Por favor, se você tiver mais alguma pra acrescentar deixe um comentário que eu refaço o post.

Em restaurantes:

• gente que escolhe a comida em self service. Ficam olhando a comida, examinam o alface, viram o tomate de um lado pro outro, enchem a colher de arroz e depois vão diminuindo a quantitade em grãos, talvez pra mostrar que não são tão gulosos.
• mulheres de cabelos longos escolhendo a comida. Elas viram o cabelo pra lá e pra cá. A impressão que dá é que as caspas estão caindo no arroz, e se você chegar muito tarde no self service você vai achar que está comendo arroz com farofa. Eca!
• gente que deixa pra procurar o cartão/dinheiro já no caixa. Até entendo que ficar segurando dinheiro ou cartão enquanto faz o prato é meio incoveniente, mas precisa esconder o cartão no fundo da bolsa e ficar procurando na hora de pagar?
• gente que devolve a comida depois de ter colocado no prato. Enchem o prato de arroz e vão em direção ao feijão, mas desistem e voltam pro arroz e deixam lá a metade que já estava no prato. E o povo de trás comendo restos…

No trânsito:

• pedestres que comandam o trânsito. O cara vai atravessar na faixa, mas fica com pena dos motoristas e resolve não atravessar, deixar passar alguns carros. Então começa a fazer sinal pros carros seguirem. O próprio guarda de trânsito.
• pessoas que acendem o pisca-alerta por qualquer motivo. Vão parar na faixa, parar no sinal vermelho, começou a chover, viu o engarrafamento a mil metros. Enfim, qualquer motivo. O cara vai e coloca o pisca-alerta.
• gente que muda de faixa e volta de novo pra faixa em poucos segundos.O cara é dono de uma faixa, ele comprou aquela faixa, só que ele quer usar a do lado, e muda. Daí ele resolve voltar pra faixa dele sem nem dar sinal, afinal ele comprou a faixa.
• motociclistas que passam buzinando do lado do carro da gente. Eu sei que o motorista tem o tal ponto cego e que às vezes a gente não vê o motoqueiro, mas porque eles acham que um carro parado em um engarrafamento iria mudar de faixa de repente e derrubá-lo.

Depois reclamo mais.

Glasses

I used glasses for a long time. I was a child when I first began to use them. Later as an adult I heard about the surgery to correct my sight problems. I went through the surgery and I don’t have to use glasses anymore.

At least I thought I didn’t. I discovered that I have to use glasses again. Not all the time as before. Just for reading. Anyway I think I will choose some nice frames even if I am going to use the glasses mostly at home.

There are many options of frames out there. I found out this option:
Zenni Optical: Sell Rx Glasses $8 with case!

I took a look at them and I think some of them would be perfect.

Florence

Since I am talking so much about traveling and traveling to Europe I want to show you some nice places to stay if you are going to visit Italy.

Later I am going to talk about other countries.

As many of you must already know I love Italy because I lived there for many years. It is a nice country to visit because the climate is great and Italians are even better.

They will receive you in a wonderful way. Of course you can’t forget the food. The Italian food is wonderful. Take care to not each too much.

I gained a few pounds when I was there.

Now let me talk about staying there for a while. You can go to a hotel, of course, but I think that if you are going to stay for more than one month it is better to rent an apartment.

You can find some nice apartments or some villa if you search very well. In Florence you have the opportunity of renting a villa or an apartment going through an agency.

For instance take a look at these Florence apartment rentals opportunities. I am sure you will find the right one for you and your family.
