16 June

I awoke to the sound of Scandinavia ringing in my ears, the cool chill and grey tones in the air as my crusty eyes saw the rain drops in show motion dripping down the window. For a moment there I was back in my little Swedish apartment on … listening to the songful chatter of my Swedish housemates, until my eyes registered at the huge blue sas airplane out my window and the announcement of boarding for flight to Stockholm.

Despite fleeting it was a lovely moment. But now to reality and the 50 pairs of eyes gazing in my direction with only the judgement Scandinavians could justify. To fall back asleep and ignore it all, or exit the gate leaving my pride on the lounge chair. I chose the latter, mostly because the cold got the better of me and I wanted to hunt for a steaming hot cup of coffee.

To no avail, I am back on a lounge chair pondering if a cup if bitter water is worth the exoberant $6. I did quickly forget How expensive Scandinavia is! Coming from Latvia where a meal and drink is as much as a small chocolate bar or bottle of water. Maybe I'll just go hungry.

And yet I pass by the beautiful Scandinavian boutique stores and ponder blowing $50 on a pair of earrings or anything really as everything of Scandinavian design is just so perfect.

Today will be a big day, yay to Greenland! So very excited​ !
