My worst football related moment in Stockholm
by Calcio
Hammarby-IFK Göteborg 1998. It was the second awaytrip of the season, and a real game between the two sets of supporters. We had been preparing ourselves for this game the whole winter, took the lead early thanks to Andreas Hermansson, and then play great football the rest of the first half. In the second Hammarby came back, but we were closer to score, and had done that if a stupid Hammarby-supporter had whistled so that everyone thought that the referee had stop the play.
In injurytime, in the 94th minute, Hammarby equalized, and we use to say that if Hammarby hadn’t scored then we would still be there, watching the game… Stockholm-teams always have some advantages, this time it was so many extra-minutes that it wasn’t even possible…
Again the museums cost money
by MalenaN
From January 2005 and for two years on many of the museums in Stockholm were free to enter and visitor numbers increased a lot. But unfortunately the new government decided they were not going to be free anymore so since January 2007 there is an entrance fee (how much you can see on the museums webpages - until I have put the prices here). I do hope they will be free of charge again!

Funny names (when translated from other languages)
by marielexoteria
Being a trilingual person (Spanish, Swedish and English) who loves languages, I can't help but look at the billboards, bus stops, etc on my way to [insert place name here]. The funniest one I've seen is Tumba, which is a suburb south of Södermalm. You see, the thing is that tumba is the Spanish word for grave. No wonder the commuter trains having Tumba as their final destination are always empty compared to the other southbound trains....it's just that nobody wants to go there :D
