Schon nach dem sechsten Tag kann ich sagen: Tokio und Stockholm - zwei krasse Gegensaetze. In Tokio ist die U-Bahn sehr gepflegt. Egal wohin man geht or which one fahert, you have likely disgusted. The only problem is the orientation since the power quite a radius. ---- is in Stockholm one of the urine smell almost no longer from the nose nschleimhaut, most cars are now totally run down and dirty. A big plus is the portability monthly pass for relatively few SEC (you can use to metro, trains innerstaedtische, buses and even a ferry). A big minus is the state - especially as the U-Bahn ( Tunnelbana ) is actually a huge underground gallery. the margins, it should be mentioned that I totally heated to Steinbaenke in the waiting area of the U-Bahn (rather than Haemmoriden ne cystitis, huh?)'m
In Tokyo, you meet - for a big city - relatively few foreigners.
----
In Stockholm you meet on the other hand, almost no Sweden.
(Have a photo of the Nirvana concert from 1992 in my collection - a very fair amount shouted Kurt Cobain meet there ... Saturday I was at an open-air on the "cultural festival" - that would have measured at the hair color of the audience in Southern Europe can be ...)
In Tokyo, most Japanese avoid eye contact as the Daibl holy water. Time to mention the fact that among women normal walking without affected X-legged shuffle is not feasible.
----
In Stockholm - very pleasant - the Swedish women are remarkably proud, confident, upright walking individuals (if you then times one sees;)
Tokyo's restaurants - whether big or tiny - are accessible to 95% a connected. It generates almost no place to eat really bad.
----
Stockholms average restaurateurs should all behind bars. So it will never be able to cook more ... There are of course excellent restaurants, but the cost. How to buy in Japan for small amounts of high quality food - that's a real art. And again a jammre, Tokyo is so expensive ... about ... going to talk ! Shopping
In Tokyo, I can not read a newspaper because I sebst after a year of intensive Sprachtrainig a linguistic idiot am.
----
In Stockholm - even after years of break - I will destroy the underground interrupt the morning newspaper and understand right away about 70%:) Oh, that feels so good.

I took me just six days to realize that Tokyo and Stockholm do not have much in common. (How come ...:) kept In Tokyo, the subway is very well. No matter where you go or what you go with - only once in a blue moon it may happen that you see or smell something that's disgusting. The only problem is the orientation as the network of trains and subways is HUGE.
----
In Stockholm it is hard to ignore the smell of urine, in the meantime most of the wagons are completely fucked up and dirty. Very positive is the - compared to other countries - the quite cheap tranferable monthly ticket (unlimited use of all buses, trains, subway + one ferry within greater Stockholm). Very negative is the condition of the public transport system - which is particularly sad because the subway ( tunnelbana ) is one of the world's biggest (underground) gallerys.
And by the way... I totally go for the heated stone benches in the subway's waiting area (I prefer hemmorrides against bladder infection)
In Tokyo you seldomly meet foreigners (compared to other big cities).
----
However, in Stockholm it seems hard to meet original Swedes.
I still have a photo of 1992's Nirvana concert in Stockholm - then a light blonde crowd was hailing Kurt Cobain. Last Saturday I visited an open-air at the "kulturfestivalen" - measured by the hail colour of the audience it could have been in Southern Europe...
In Tokyo most of the Japanese (women) avoid looking you directly in the eyes in public. Let alone the fact that walking without SWEET knock-knees seems to be impossible.
----
In Stockholm - I like that a lot - the Swedish women are stikingly self-confident , and walk upright through their lifes (as already mentioned... you don't see them often ;)
Tokyo's restaurants - no matter what size they are - are 95% a full success. It is almost impossible to eat out at low quality.
----
Stockholm's average gastronomes should go to jail and never leave it again to be prevented from cooking. Sure, there are very fine restaurants - but they are expensive. Really good food for a small budget like in Japan is almost impossible.
And please, stop moaning over the prices in Tokyo - Stockholm can be even worse!
As soon as the first sunrays show up in Japan, the ladies start to veil themselves in order to preserve their aristocratic white skin color.
----
You can not really say that in Sweden;)
In Tokyo it is impossible for me to read the newspapers as even after one year I am a idot linguistically speaking a bloody stupid.
----
In Stockholm - even after years of no Swedish at all - I inhale the newspaper every morning and understand almost 70%. And hey, that feels great:)
