This is a runestone with old Norse stuff on it, there's a lot around Uppsala. Jox said when he was a kid they had to learn the alphabet used on the runestones and then they walked around outside and were supposed to copy down and "translate" what they could understand from them without actually studying much else.


Key to the runestone.


20% off for all in the store (or something like that).


Payphone.


We tried one of those star-things, it was dry and thin and crispy.


You can buy special stamps and put it in this box and then the post office ensures that it gets delivered before Christmas.


On the right is a traditional Swedish dress.


Saw this in the basement floor of a secondhand store.


In a secondhand bookstore. I looked for a price but it didn't have one on it so I thought it wasn't for sale.


We bought some of these, not from this store though. We have Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and some other random ones.


Bus transfer ticket.


The long one to the left is a round-trip train ticket.


We got to ride on this real train, it runs on train tracks and everything! And someone even came around to check our tickets after it started moving! It was super cool.


We found another Christmas market and walked around it. More photos in the photo gallery!


We ate at a Chinese buffet (they don't have these in Iceland) and it was basically the same as American Chinese food, the only difference I noticed was there was really no spices or spicy sauce or anything available.


This is the screen for a ticket vending machine, we bought our bus tickets here.


A recipe for rice porridge on the back of a milk carton! Jox and I eat rice porridge all the time.


Christmas beer(?) can, I saw this in the sink and thought it had a cool design.


I forgot to take photos of Swedish money until we were in the car on the way to the airport, sorry!


Children's play area inside the Swedish airport.
