hilly is a pretty weak word

you get to feel like a pilgrim getting around in stockholm; the slopes are biblically steep, redemptively steep, and you cannot avoid them. "hey darling would you be a savior and go grab some milk from the store?"

well, either that or a sociable mountain goat. maps of stockholm should be topographical; it often simply isn't true to say that ulf lives this 4 blocks this way and 7 that way when it is also a vertical distance of 300 meters. this city is not navigated as the goddamn crow flies -- side note, crows are as common as pigeons here, super weird -- it'd be like measuring someone's hike up a mountain by measuring the distance from the mountain's base to where the summit maps onto the ground deep within the mountain.
