JODD FAIRS Ratchada

Jodd Fairs

Jodd Fairs is a night market (a very large one). It’s different from the one in Chinatown in that it’s set on its own grounds, like Christmas markets or folk festivals here (Chinatown is basically just a normal street where the shops just spread out a bit at night).

SAS Gold Lounge, Stockholm-Arlanda Airport

Hotel Birger Jarl

I actually only chose the Birger Jarl because it had the best reviews for internet speed 🙂 (when working digitally, you have to set your priorities). At first, I was shocked: the internet connection dropped every 30 minutes 🙁 . That seemed a bit odd to me, so I quickly connected the backup router (Mango) … Read more
