I presume you've been to the states before right? ;)

I would say that what's making the traffic dangerous here in Stockholm is the biker. It's very often they don't care about the traffic rules and laws. They running red lights, they run up on the sidewalk to cut corners and avoid red lights. In Sweden, by law, vehicles have to stop for pedestrians about to cross a crosswalk without lights. I have never in my life seen a bike do that.

Me too, but then I realized that they have left side traffic there. :-)

I'll stay at Aloft (http://goo.gl/CHmzw) and will drive a compact
rental. Will gladly pick up people to and fro that hotel.

Hey Andrei, you still got room in your car? I'm thinking of staying at a hotel nearby. (Aloft is full.)

Lio.

I need to renege on this: as a conference organizer I'll have to leave early and arrive late so being dependent on me would be frustrating. Anyone else with a car staying at Aloft or nearby?

Hey, Mike, I could use a ride... legend tells of a great Valley made entirely of Silicon, but I won't believe it until I see it for myself.

Anyway, I'm staying only 7 blocks from where you're staying:

I don't mind hopping on the early ride, assuming the jet lag has sorted itself.  :)

Should not be dependent on any specific return journey.
