Even though I couldn't take fellow passenger's advice on taxi companies, I started to like it when the hotel receptionist said, "the metro is out there on the right". Every person in the hospitality industry I met were actually hospitable and it was, well, clean. Some shops were still open at 20h30. Some ATMs required tiptoeing. There was no need to constantly look behind your shoulders when walking on the street alone at dusk... and you've just got to love Scandanavian design.

I was so sure that the princess was waving and smiling at me and me only from that balcony! A fun royal wedding wedding!
