Hui, Jing Chen and I visited the ferry terminal at slussen at about 3.20pm on 28/09 Wednesday afternoon to conduct our interview. I was quite excited as this was the first time I was going to ride on the ferry. As usual, I started taking pictures of the station and the surroundings. The video of the ride can be found here: Video of ferry ride
