Stockholm during summer

I envy everyone who is spending their summers in Stockholm during summer. The only time when this city is not boring and grey. During summers, you see lots of people sitting outside cafes, people singing on the street, going to free concerts and enjoying the nice weather (definitely not as humid and hot as Shanghai).

What is also nice with Stockholm is that a lot of times while I have been in the city center I see people that I know. So it's a big city and small city at the same time. (Although sometimes that have happened in Shanghai as well).

There is a H&M in every corner, there are at least two coffee shops in every corner, etc. instead of having one brothel in every corner like in SH.

I would love SH to have more cozy coffee shops on those main streets, although I love Starbucks. I would love to implicate the Swedish fika-culture in big international cities such as Shanghai. Fika basically means that taking a break sitting down and have coffee and cake. Fika is both an art form and a social event for Swedes and something taken very seriously!
