Home again!

It's been a couple of days since I got back home to Sweden again!
And I do want to travel again, but at the moment, I can't afford it because I have to save up money for the future.

I do have written a review of my trip to New York in my last post.
I came sick during the trip though, and still feel like shit at the moment, but it's worth it!

On the way home

Now I´m on my way home from New York! My flight from Newark started at 18.55 on the 22nd. and now I´m waiting in Oslo (Norway) to head to Stockholm and Umeå.
What did I think of New York?
I think the town is awesome! it´s my second time here, And did see new things, like a Knicks game and a Rangers Game, which both were awesome!
I did a  lot of things, like Empire State building, a bit of Brooklyn, Central Park, Natural History Museum, Metropolitan museum, boat ride to Statue of Liberty, 9/11 Memorial amongst other things!

The hostel that I stayed in (Hostelling International on 103rd/Amsterdam) were good, The room that I stayed in was cold as hell, and the fixed the last day I was there! Location on it though is amazing, just a couple of blocks to Central Park!
I tried some different foods as well, we found a Peruvian place on Amsterdam Ave, which had great food!

The trip itself gets 9/10.
The only let down is that I got sick on wednesday, and the room was cold.

Do I want to travel here again?
Hell Yes!

Best Birthday Ever!

I have had an Awesome Birthday!
We went on a boat tour to Ellis Island and Liberty Island, in which we never went into. It cost about 30 dollars.
We then went to 9/11 memorial, and payed our respects. We then went to Midtown Comics on Fulton Street, bought some Punisher Comics.
we Crossed the Brooklyn Bridge and then we went home and took a break before The Rangers - Flyers Game!
And that game was awesome to see live, It was my first time seeing a NHL game, and Rangers won 2-0.

Day 3 and 4

Sorry for not updating in a while, have been busy!
Day 3:
I woke up relatively early, 6.30 am, and was on the computer for a while, until we went to breakfast and prepared ourselves for Empire State building, in which we arrived at 11 am and apparently we payed for more and we imagined, because we went to the Skydrive exhibit, which in a way was good, but since the Knicks game started at 1pm we didn´t have much time to be up there. But then We got up on the observation deck which is a nice view!
Picture
At 12.30, we went to Madison Square Garden, and watched Knicks played against Nuggets.
The first quarter Nuggets played well, but then Knicks took over and won the game with 109-93.
It was my first basketball game, and I think it was awesome! I would definitely do it again!
Later on we went to central park and chilled a couple of hours!

Day 4
On this day we went to Ed sullivan theatre, because we didn´t get tickets the day before, so we went in there and got tickets! and the show started 4.30pm.
Then we went to Natural history Museum and did see Hayden Planetarium! which was awesome!
And then we went to the Letterman show! It´s always nice to see him live! another thing to do while you´re here in New York, it´s a shame that he retires in 2015!

Arrived yesterday in New York! Yesterday I went to Times Square, and had a wonderful Pizza in John´s on 44th street!

And Today we (me and Isak, and friend of mine) went to Madison Square Garden and bought some tickets for Knicks vs Nuggets, and Rangers vs Flyers, which is gonna be Awesome!
Later we went to Grand Central, just to see the inside of it! and later we went to Chrysler building, which we thought was Rockefeller centre, and after that we went to Ed Sullivan theatre, to book tickets for Dave Letterman!
After that we went to Dakota building to pay our respects for John Lennon, who got shot there!

I'm leaving for New York on Friday, I'm getting so excited!
I'm getting an early flight to Stockholm (6.35 AM), and then heading via Copenhagen to Newark Airport, and will meet up my friend at the hostel (since he's landing in JFK after my flight).
We're planning on seeing a basketball game, and seeing a Hockey game (Maybe Rangers - Flyers). Hopefully we'll see Letterman live as well, and of course we are going to see all the tourist stuff like Empire State, Statue of Liberty amongst other things!

If you have any tips on what to do, please let me know!

John Mayer in concert!

11/10/2014

0 Comments

 
12th of June 2014, I went to Stockholm an saw John Mayer live. I started listening to his music when his album "Battle Studies" came out, and early this year I started to listen to his other albums, and grew fond of his music.
So I took the opportunity to see him live.

I totally loved the concert! I was totally excited the whole concert, he played my favorite song "Belief" quite early, and played only one song from his first album.
I can totally recommend his music, because he is a great guitar player, and have a lot of great songs, and I can totally recommend his first album "Room for Squares" and "Continuum"!

one month later!

One month ago today I came back from South Africa. Which I did a safari and skydiving amongst other things. I love both Johannesburg and Cape town, even though I only spent 2 days in Johannesburg.
In Cape Town I stayed in a awesome hostel called B.I.G (backpackers in Greenpoint), in which I can totally recommend to stay in if you are in Cape Town.
I would love to travel there again, maybe doing a safari again, maybe seeing more of johannesburg, and if you readers have any tips, please let me know!
