Definitely a YES to Stockholm

I love Stockholm for so many reasons but above all, the people. Silvia, my lovely travel partner, was looking for a miniature of a Stockholm parliament (she has a collection of miniature buildings everywhere she goes) but it was hard to find one of the size she wanted. So we were talking about this as we were walking around and out of nowhere, a photographer came to us and showed us possible places where we could find the miniatures. We also talked a lot about Vietnam because he has traveled to Vietnam 4 times. He is retired now and just spends time taking good photos and talking to people. Silvia was skeptical because she was afraid of strangers, especially when he was extremely nice.

As I work in Tourism, I talked to quite a lot of “strangers”, especially seniors. I really find joy in doing that. So during the whole trip, whenever I saw someone who was confused about the train schedule, the routes,…I just came and asked, and showed them the way. Silvia “suffered” a lot whenever she saw me “hey, are you looking for this train? Yeah, we’re on the same train. I can show you the stop.” Thanks to the photographer, Silvia found the miniature. So one of the best things in life is being open to surprises, isn’t it? This picture was taken by him. So cute.
