La Neta

Looking for an authentic Mexican experience in Stockholm? Head straight to La Neta. Don't even consider Taco Bar though to my taste their stuff is pretty good. It just won't be authentic. I am not the one to judge but my picky Mexican friends do not approve.

In case of La Neta they really did enjoy today. So did I. Owned and ran by Mexicans, this place is the closest to Mexico you can get here. Delicious tacos and quesadillas, authentic salsa and hot habanero sauce. You have to taste them! They will change the way you think about Mexican cuisine.

Cocaine

Saw a chick doing cocaine on the subway. She was squatting on the floor and the only thing she cared about is getting another dose. I’ve seen pretty disgusting stuff on Friday and Saturday nights after going out but this was way beyond regular puke every three meters. This is the side of Sweden I haven’t experienced yet.

Stockholm Transport Museum


I was very skeptical at first before visiting this museum since I don't usually get very excited about transport in general but when I entered my attitude changed completely! I do love vintage stuff and as it turned out, I do love vintage transport. The place was definitely worth the visit. The only problem was, that I came too late, just few minutes before the closing time. I have just had time to quickly look around, fall in love with the place and take couple of photos.

Solna Centrum

Solna Centrum

Swedish Football Fans

On my way home from Ramblas (a good restaurant that even my Spanish friend approves) where I went to have some Spanish beer and tapas with Javier and Sergio, I stumbled across a cheering crowd that I decided to follow. What the hell was that I found out later on today while reading The Local, AIK defeated IFK, though it was pretty clear from the beginning. They took off at Solna and so did I.





It was a typical crowd of cheering football fans and it seemed to be insane. People were literally climbing up the moving stairway. Everybody went out and walked into the nearest shopping mall. Then I realized that something is wrong with them. And the missing thing was... violence! Really! Where are all the broken windows and wrecked cars?




The biggest damage done that I've noticed was a bunch of stolen bananas from a supermarket on the way there and one overturned chair of a coffee house! Seriously! Even though there was no police around to stop them. The crowd just climbed some kind of stage inside the mall, cheered for awhile and then peacefully went home. Where are all the fights? Where's the drama? Damn Swedes, can't even have fun properly!
