Probably my favourite day of the year.
This year was spent in Gothenburg, Sweden. Aside from listening to Triple J's Hottest 100 it was a fairly Swedish day. I slept with a Swede at her apartment. Woke up at 9am, put on the Hottest 100 and ate the best muesli I've ever had with delicious Swedish yogurt, Swedish breakfast bun type thing with Swedish cheese and of course a beer (unfortunately of Swedish origin - still a very nice pilsner mind you).
Skyped my friends after the countdown finished (only listened to the last 5 by the time I woke up and connected to the WI-FI), talked some shit, had a good catch up, talking with video - no matter how pixelated - is always great.
She came home, we made amazing vegetarian tacos (Mexican), went to see an Icelandic film and the Gothenburg Film Festival (it was ok), followed by a visit to my favourite bar/venue and watched a live Jazz Band (Swedish).
Miserable weather, rained all day (very Un-Australian).
Went home, watched Brooklyn Nine-Nine (American) on Netflix, made love and went to sleep.
Three out of ten, not too shabby.

I am a traveller who is not satisfied with the sport of visiting a city or worse, country, for half a week then crossing it off a list as 'done', seen, understood, moving on. There is so little you can gain from those 4 days. It is often an ok amount of time as a tourist taking a break from regular life, but even so I long for the satisfaction of making friends and sharing home cooked meals in locals houses. This of course is a lot more difficult to achieve.
This is the travellers bug.
This is my curse.
