The first thing you notice when you step out of the airplane (Ryanair) is the fresh air. It's night and you must catch an airport bus to the centre of Stockholm. The drive will take an hour and 40 minutes. Outside the airport, a blonde cherubic prince walks by you. He's the first of the thousands of beautiful men you will see.
The bus is empty and you sing "Abba Abba Abba"! Everywhere you look, forests and a cloudless dark sky. The taxi driver that you pick from outside the bus station takes you to Universitetet, aided by a digital map that tells him where his car is going. He has a photo of himself on the glove compartment, staring into the distance like Stalin.
Karla's brother Glenn (Canadian) and his girlfriend Tina (Finnish) serve you Gato Negro red wine and spicy popcorn. An old re-run of Baywatch is on the television, with swedish subtitles. The Swedish never ever dub any movies or tv shows. The Swedish speak perfect english, sometimes with believable American or British accents. A Swede with an Irish accent must be a delicacy.
The spare bedroom is given to yourself and your boyfriend. Karla sleeps on the couch. Glenn and Tina, already from the beginning, are the perfect hosts.
