Visiting the Neighbors!

There are many ways to travel cheap. Yes, yes. You just need to ask and open your eyes. So, my friend told me that there's this pass called Around the Sound that you can only purchase in Sweden. Øresund bridge connects Denmark and Sweden. The pass includes a one-way train ticket from Copenhagen (Denmark) to Malmö (Sweden), a one-way ferry ticket from Helsingborg (Sweden) to Helsingor (Denmark), trains and busses for 2 days for a seriously good price.

Me and Pei Yun (she's my travel buddy) took a train from Copenhagen Central station. Guess what, I had to come back to my dorm to get my passport. The information lady said that I need to bring it. But yup...you don't need it. Huhu, wasted 1 1/2 hour for that! ;)

Sweden is cheaper compare to Denmark. If you want to go shopping, go to Sweden. But, Swedish people come to Denmark to buy alcohol. They said it's much cheaper. When we arrived at Malmö, it's true that food & clothing are cheaper. Shopping time!! *at the end of our trip, we didn't get anything though...;p

A brigde next to the Malmö central station. This town is not as big as we thought.

Swedish meatballs
We ate this wonderful dish at a Mexican restaurant. I found that funny. ;p

St Petri kryka (St Peter's Church)
The oldest building in Malmö from 12th century.

Inside the St Peter's church


Amazing. I can't stop looking at these beautiful art!

This is just breathtaking! Really wanted to come closer and touch it (can't do it!).

The Malmöhus Castle
At first, it was a castle. But after Malmö became Swedish, it was used as a prison. Sad :(

A view of the Turning Torso tower from the Malmöhus castle.

The Lund's Cathedral from 12th century.

It's an old well at the crypt of the Lund's cathedral.

Forget to bring cash for offertory? Just swipe your card!
You can even donate for charity groups.


Remember the Subway's commercial? "5 dollar foot long..."
Well, it's actually 8 dollar foot long in Sweden.

Waiting for the ferry to bring us back to Denmark! Bye Sweden!
