In Sigtuna

Sigtuna is one of the oldest citys in Sweden, been founded in 980. It's situated one the Lake Mälaren and it is close to both Stockholm and to Uppsala.

Here is one photo from the "big" shopping street of Sigtuna. All the houses - in wood - has different vibrant colors.

And here is Sigtuna Rådhus, the Old City Hall. A very popular place in the summer, a lot of cafés and restaurants serve food outside.

Houses on water in Borneo

And as I promised yesterday, here is some photos of other houses on water, these are from Malaysia, in the island Borneo. You se one young inhabitant here in the picture.

As the ones in Thailand the homes ar made of wood and they are built on stilts in the water.

The people that lives here are also called "sea gypsies", just as the where named in Thailand.

And here you have one more photo of the village in Borneo, we came there with this small boats, or canoes that you can see in the picture.

Houses on water in Thailand

I have been to two different places, one in Thailand and one in Malaysia, Borneo, where people live on water.

Like this one here, a small willage that visited some time ago in Thailand, not far away fom my then holiday location in Khao Lak. A place that now is completely rebuilt by the way, my hotel was hit hard by the tsunami, just 7 month after my stay there.

Here is one more picture of that village, it's really a tourist attraction these days, but people actually lives there, on water.

Tomorrow I will post pictures of some houses on water in Malaysia, in Borneo.
