Met Jiahan after the sunset (read: 3pm) to go for the Gamle Stan tour, which I have already done few months ago with Ms Blur, albeit with sunlight. Tour was... kinda boring. Not sure if it's because it's my second time on this tour (the darkness didn't make much of a difference), or cos I've been to too many of these free tours around European cities, or simply cos the guide wasn't very engaging. Anyway, went back to T-centralen after the tour ended and met up with Kungyin, who's here on a summer vacation. Yes, SUMMER, cos he's studying in Melbourne, so it's legitimately a summer break.
Kungyin suggested we stay around the area and we thought it might be too much of a hassle to bring him to Lidingo, so we had no choice but to pangseh Huihan (who went on to watch Korean drama where the guys are ARGUABLY more handsome than us, so I guess she's fine hahaha). Went to Medborgarplatsen (literally "Citizen's/People's Square) cos Kungyin's guide during his Sodermalm tour pointed out that there're quite a few nice spots to eat out here (pretty cool cos the tourist ended up bringing the "locals" around). Sadly, they all closed pretty early (we were just a few minutes late though). So Jiahan mentioned the Thai food restaurant that we have been to before in Zinkensdamm but they are under renovation! At this point, I was famished; and we had the revelation that we haven't actually had dinner outside before... except, the one time where we met with the NUS IRO lady! So we decided to give it a try. And the panda restaurant (so called because the logo is a panda; actually, I think the word "panda" actually appeared somewhere in the name) is opened! So we sat down and finally had our dinner.
After dinner was just random walking around. Got my first Starbucks in Stockholm (Honey and Almond Hot Chocolate! Pretty awesome cos of the almond) and ready to brave the cold. So we headed to Kungstradgarden (recently found out that it meant "King's garden") to see the street lights and ice skating ring. Walked over to Hotorget (which is really near; as usual, one stop in Stockholm is like few hundred meters away) and it's actually pretty nice with a nice square as well! (I vaguely remember walking here when I first met Songen and the SSE people but it wasn't at night so it's slightly different)
Not too bad a night but got really exhausted after that and I have no idea why; shall turn in soon!
