Countries added: 3
Total countries thus far: 26.
Finland: people proud of the way their language bubbles and a country of white haired folk. (And yes. Generalizing. Deal.)
Sweden: the friendliest people you've met who think they are unfriendly. Constantly reminds you of how beautiful the city of STHLM is either by the views that sneak up on you or because the STHLM'ians remind you.
Amsterdam: Bikes, food from the wall and a lot of fried stuff. Fried batter, fried mystery meat. Fried hopes and dreams (in that they taste delicious and not in the sense that they're burnt and gone).

Number of roofs hiked on where i feared not for my life but for making a screaming, crying fool of myself: 2 (picture forthcoming but trust me, that ish was narrow).
