where man, god and tourists meet

the uppsala cathedral is one of the more impressive structures i've seen. stretching i-don't-know-how-many-meters long and wide, with all those pointy crossish thingies, gothic styles with all the scary faces, glasses all around and just basically making you feel like an ameba in the face of god. there are people buried in the floors, a creepy concept in itself for a jewish israeli, but hey, we chop off foreskins.
I walked around the enormous halls and stretched my neck to look at the floor. I saw statues and pictures of jesus and stories from the new and old testament. I saw a bunch of kings lying in their tombs, well, their marble versions at least.
there were a few organs there, each bigger than the other.
you can practically see the cathedral from all over town, and it's a good pointer if you ever get lost.
