i woke up late, about 10 am, i was awoken by the smell of bacons being fried in the kitchen. i slept like theres neverending, even if a plane crashed above me i would never wake! i stood up and went straight to the kitchen, in mikael's house, i feel like i am at home, mikael treats his guests like …

Finally we boarded the plane and quickly found our seats in first class. We were served Champagne while the rest of the passengers boarded, and once in the air, we were offered more to drink and some chips before lunch was served. Lena had more Champagne and I had a beer. I don’t think w…

Early in the morning my grandparents and I started to Sassnitz, where we had planned to hop on the ferry to Trelleborg at 8.15am.   Great! Our summer holiday started off with fabulous weather and heaps of anticipation! My grandparents had been to Scandinavia a few times before and had alre…

Today, we were using a different route to Goteborg. This time through the mountains and along lakes. I think Sweden is very beautiful after all. But still I haven't seen the famous blonde women. Or am I confused with Norway?   In Goteborg we had planty of time to shop so I did! I bought…

It is my last night in umeå. my bags are packed more or less and my room is cleaned. it's hard to believe that it's the end of a journey that i've dreamt about for years and took months to plan. being in sweden has made me poorer than ever but every krona was worth it. i've made friends from …

I'd never been to Sweden before. A long time ago I met someone from Göteborg and had always intended to visit the place some day, but simply never got around to doing so. So now I was finally here, and I must say, it didn't disappoint. Even though we only visited the city for a couple of hours, I …

I have always wanted to visit Scandanavia but was worried about the cost.  I had heard rumors for years about $10.00 beers, $14.00 glasses of wine and general expenses.  After collecting several years of hotel points, I decided to visit Stockholm, Sweden during the off season in November,…

  My SAS flight took off from Chicago within minutes of its 4:25 p.m. scheduled departure. I followed our progress on the small screen in the seat-back in front of me. We angled northeast along the Lake Michigan shoreline, crossed directly over the Mackinac Bridge, then proceeded over northea…

My last day in Stockholm. I really enjoyed my stay but working that much - and being on your own at the same time - is quite hard for that many days in a row. Would might like to move to Stockholm for a periode - I've always loved Sweden - but at this time I was happy that I'd soon be home in Copen…

Who would have thought that Swedish scientists would live up to the national stereotypes? At the conference dinner our Swedish hosts poured everyone a glass of akvavit then broke into song:Helan går, sjung "hoppfadirallanlallanlej" helan går, sjung "hoppfadirallanlej." Den som inte helan tar, …

It seems like summer has come early but I've just arrived with James in Östersund staying with Stjernglans and I'm sure there'll be some more information soon.Sweden is super coolhooray

My mum lives in Sweden and I try to get over there at least once a year. I'll update this blog everytime I visit.

After a night of drinking, I woke up later than I was supposed (what a shocker).  My goal for the day was to see Gamla Stan(Old City) and Vasa Museet, the Swedish vessel that sank in 1628, they found it after 300 years underwater... Old Town is gorgeous, very well kept up and really…

in the Summer of 2005 I did a great canoeing tour through Sweden and Norway together with my family. It was amazing and defenitly worth to show some pictures!

So after I had packed my bag and put behind me the fact that I am the best friend of the future bride & not the groom and to not worry what all the other boys thought of it, I headed off to the airport with Bryan & Sean. Although I grew up with the Best Man and know the groom very well, I …
