As light snow started to fall I began to doubt the wisdom of Shay’s choice of city for our Easter break. Why couldn’t we go somewhere sunny and warm?
My fears were quickly put to rest the moment we found ourselves tucked up and warm inside everyone’s home away from home, i.e. a bar! Shay, Rony Vamsee, and I had come to Stockholm in search of many things, however what we found consisted of equal measures of beer and eye candy, and this was good enough for me!
What followed was basically a three day booze bender, and as such the memory is a little hazy but I’ll try to outline the highlights which included:
- Seeing Rony (who is the owner of the worlds most dodgy Bangladeshi passport) try to explain to the border control guy that he only wanted to enter Denmark because he was hungry.
- Vamsee spending 40 minutes picking up some Greek women in a museum.
- A visit to a club called the ‘Spy Bar’ where the boys finally got a dose of the hip-hop music they were craving, and Vamsee despite his best effort failed to pick up the young woman manning the blackjack table, though in retrospect he seemed happy enough to just win lots of cash.
- Me losing Rony at the most pivotal moment in the Spy Bar.
- No one and I mean no one, understanding what the hell Rony was saying. ‘Nuf said.
- Using the worlds worst pasta sauce to cook dinner and in the end stealing someone else’s from the fridge in the hostel just to make it edible.
- Rony travelling to Stockholm in winter without a jacket.
- Me farting loudly as an Italian woman walked past in the hostel.
- The next ten minutes wondering why the Italian woman and her friends were looking at us and talking disapprovingly in Italian.
- The numerous jokes at Rony and Shay’s expense at the time it took them to do anything.
- The frequent misunderstanding of Rony, in fact to this day I’m still confused as to what I can get when I mix a fat chick and £2
- Rony’s reaction to being in a gay bar.
- Rony’s reaction to seeing two guys kissing in a gay bar.
- And finally, Rony’s reaction to getting his photo taken with two guys kissing in a gay bar.
