Amazing Swedish delicacy

I have compiled a menagerie (if you will) of highlights from Stockholm to give a nice sense of the sights. Enjoy!

Stockholm, Sweden: Hipster’s Paradise

The Swedish Hipster Prototype

The Swedish hipster prototype

 

If hipsters had a Mecca, Stockholm would be it. Forget Gangsta’s Paradise, this is Hipster’s Paradise. I attribute it to the fact that you combine a group of depressed people (the guy at the music store told me all Swedes are depressed, hence their music), a love of simple aesthetics, and the prevalence of H&Ms (no kidding, in the one shopping district they have four separate stores all in one each corner of the street, and that is only a smattering of the more than 30 stores they have in the city), and you have the perfect hipster world.
