瑞典斯德哥爾摩的地鐵原來由港鐵營運，連來往斯德哥爾摩和哥德堡的城際列車服務MTR Express也是港鐵，連商標也是相同。但相似僅在於商標，沒有廣普廣播，車箱跟歐洲IC火車相近，還提供wifi，此綫只營運了幾年，一切還很新很舒適。
The metro in Stockholm is operated by the MTR Hong Kong, also the MTR Express running between Stockholm and Gothenburg belong to MTR Hong Kong as well. They also use the same MTR logo on the train. However, you will not find anything related to Hong Kong other than that. The announcement is not in Chinese and the cabins is according to European standard. Wifi is provided in the train and this express line just started operated for the last couple of years. The ride was really pleasant and comfortable.
到達後，放下行李，到處走走，來到湖邊，有個大公園。地面舖著白雪，湖面已結冰，又遇著黃昏，手牽手在金黃色雪上逛公園，真的很浪漫！
We loaded off our bags once we arrived. Walking along Stockholm without a specific destination, arriving at the lakes with a huge park. The ground was covered with snow and the surface of the lake was frozen. It was sunset with the twilight. The park became gold and shine. I enjoyed the time a lot.
周邊景色真的很迷人，第一次在結冰的湖上走動，走在漫天飛雪的公園，不再是只限韓劇的情節，天空由藍色變成金黃再透出粉紅，最後變成紫色，的確可遇不可求。太陽下山後，氣温下降，在未有足夠衣服下，凍得我們打震，只想留在室內取暖。哈哈哈…
The environment and scenery around us was really great. It was my first time walking on the frozen lake with snowing in the park. It was not the movie scene anymore. The sky was an amazing background for such a beautiful moment. It was blue as usual, but it turned to gold in a second when we arrived at the park. The amazing part was from the gold sky then turning to pink and finally to purple. We were so lucky to see that. At the same time, the temperature dropped once the sun went down. We did not have enough clothing again and the weather was cooler than that in Gothenburg. What I was to do was stay indoor for heater…
Moritz的表哥Benny在斯德哥爾摩讀書，所以順理成章便住在他家。第一次見Benny是那年家庭聚會，感覺他是很謙厚的人，這次再相見，居然體驗到他風趣的一面，他不像詹瑞文那種字字珠璣，連珠砲發，但總有令我驚喜的時刻！
The cousin of Benny studies in Stockholm which is why we stayed with him during our visit. The first time I met Benny was in that family gathering I joined 2 years ago. He gave me a feeling that he is a very humble guy. I found him also having a fun personality and with sense of humor in the second time. He was not fun in terms of Jim Carrey style, or keeping me busy to laugh. But you enjoy talking to him as he could surprise you unexpectedly.
Benny家在斯德哥爾摩的西邊，地鐵線的尾站，來回市區需要30分鐘。雖然在香港我每天都需要一小時車程上班下班，但對於旅客30分鐘是很寶貴，特別是出去玩了一天，走累了，只想盡快回酒店休息。但斯德哥爾摩消費高，住在Benny家可省點錢吃大餐，也不是壞事。
Benny lives in the west of Stockholm which is the end of the metro green line. It took around 30 mins to have a run to the downtown. Although I spend an hour daily to get to work from home when I am in Hong Kong, 30 minutes a luxury cost for a traveller who have only a short stay in town. When you were so exhausted after a long day walking and looking around, the only thing you would love to do will be back to hotel to get some rest. However, the living standard in Stockholm too high for us to stay in hotel or hostel. The truth is the money we saved on accommodation could buy a great meal which is not that bad.
