Today was one of those days, so we walked to a hotel restaurant nearby, just on the other side of Sergels Torg.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I work right in the middle of Stockholm, I barely see any of it. Either I cycle to work and then I see mostly suburbs and cycle paths and half of Kungsgatan. Or I take the train and the metro and then I see nothing but stations, because our office is right on top of a metro station. I don&#8217;t go out for lunch normally since I bring a packed lunch, and I rarely have time to just go out for a walk.<\/p>\n<p>The two things that stand out are the construction works just off of Sergels Torg, which have been going on forever, and the electric scooters, which have been around for a much shorter time but are now everywhere. First there was one brand and then two and now I think there are at least five competing scooter firms in town.<\/p>\n<p>And scooter riders, of course. Nearly always helmetless, usually quite uninterested in traffic rules and in the traffic around them. I always feel anxious when I see one of them near me because I feel I cannot predict what they will do, not even what speed they will move at. When the rider is a tourist, they sometimes even try to read a map on their phone while continuing to drive.<\/p>\n<p>Electric bikes meanwhile are so common now that I am getting used to their patterns now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>tretton37 treats us to a buffet lunch once a month.
