Living on an island

The cliffs of Södermalm, as seen from Kungsholmen.

The center of Stockholm is made up of 14 islands. And even after living here for over six years, I am still fascinated by that fact. I like to drop that little tidbit into conversations when I meet people from other countries, casually telling them I live on an island called Södermalm. I think it sounds cool, especially since I always wanted to live on an island. Plus, in the tour books, Söder is described as the writer/artist/bohemian part of Stockholm, basically the city’s left bank. I’d like to think it makes me seem artsy by association. But I am thinking that it’s  probably just wishful thinking.

From what I can make out from other people’s blogs, it’s one of the favourites to live on.

I like this post Sandra, well said. Is your old flat in this photo?

Maria: No, you can’t see the old place from here – it was further west.
