The Gambling Chicken Steak

So I did it again ;-) I went the wrong way on the subway. Anyway, after I got off work I decided to go exploring. I walked down the roads near my hotel and found pubs and pharmacies and McDonald's. This time I ate dinner inside of a pub. I had a chicken quesadilla appetizer, Sirloin and Fries. Speaking of chicken quesadillas, even 1400 miles away they know how to make them (nudge nudge el fenix). I also found a big museum that I will be visiting tomorrow as they kicked me out when I went in - cause it was closing. I then decided to go visit the big castle and see what they have there. Unfortunately that castle was north and I went south. I suppose it was the man bleeding to death lying on the ground at the subway that had me distracted. Everyone was looking at him but doing nothing. I got the feeling he was drunk and had fallen face first into the ground. He was shouting something and everyone was minding their own business. I guess even the police who was standing nearby was doing nothing. Anyway I figured an ambulance was called so I went on my way, the wrong way. I ended up south near the river. I noticed signs that said "casino" so I figured I would have some more fun. I was able to play for 3 hours and not lose a thing playing blackjack. This time I ended up 5,600 Krona up, or $230 up. Whenever I push almost all my money forward they always think I am cashing out. Unfortunately they don't know my system. I bet $200 on the last hand. I got a 12 and the dealer had a 3 showing. I suppose I should've stayed but I hit and busted with a 22. So I ended up walking out of there with 600 Krona profit or $30. It was fun talking to the dealer. She was a hottie like them all. She spoke English so I had someone to talk to. I am now back at the hotel and have a big day tomorrow of castles and tours and shopping. I should arrive back in DFW Sunday night, a little wiser, a little more perplexed.
