3/5/09 Exploring Malmo, staying in Looma

In the morning we met JJ's Swedish friend Nikolas, and he showed us around Malmo. First we went to visit his other friend, Juan, who owned his own clothing screening business. He showed us where he screened the tshirts and sweatshirts and the different equipment used, which was pretty neat. Afterwards we went clothing shopping on the shopping street and malls in Malmo.

Next we picked up JJ's mom and headed over to their friend Monica's house in Looma to have a traditional Swedish dinner with tasty pasty and meatballs. After that we drove back to Malmo with Nikolas, who dropped us off at some random bar while he went to work on a tv project. There was almost no one there though since it was like 7pm on a thursday, so we left quickly. We tried to call Monica to come pick us up, but my phone gave some error and apparently couldn't call her number. So we had to wander around Malmo in the blustering chilly wind until we eventually wound up at the train/bus station.

It took us a while to figure out how the bus station worked and we finally got on a bus back to Looma. From there it was a bit of a walk since we got off two stops too early. When we got back to the house we had some tea and bread and had interesting conversations with Monica and JJ's mom about stories of their travels driving through Europe when they were our age. I tried some Swedish flatbread with caviar from a tube on top, but it was too salty for me.
