...I'm leaving for a year in China. Feels strangely good, probably since I can't grasp what it is I'm doing. China is to far away and a year is too much time to be able to imagine it and that means I don't know what to be nervous about. My biggest concern is that I'll starve to death the first days because I won't be able to communicate that I'm hungry. And if that is my worst concern it's really ok. Another concern though is the fact that I only can bring 20kg for an entire year...so I don't dare to pack it all in my bag and weigh it because I don't want to realize that I have to leave half of it. Guess I should be getting back to the packing though. More to ... read more

This past weekend was my last weekend in Sweden. Linn and I headed up to Uppsala Friday after work. Uppsala is a very unique university town... Having been established in 1477, the student life is steeped in tradition. Each student must be a member of a 'nation'... there is one for each region in Sweden. Most people join the nation of the region they are from but you don't have to. Linn is a member of Stockholm's nation. Every nation has a building and usually a club or pub. Nation members get in free and all others pay a small fee. You must have an Uppsala student card to be able to get in. (You can however buy a week pass provided you can show some other student ID - which is what I did). Friday ... read more

After arriving home late Tuesday night, we got up Wednesday and I headed into Stockholm to do some shopping. I came home and packed for our boat trip and we left early Thursday morning. The boat is a good size for 4 people... quite comfortable. We drove north in the archipelago, stopping at a small island to visit Ylva's cousin Göran Mårs. He is Arne's son (and incidentally Monika's step-brother)... his daughter Olivia (she's 12) is related to me the same way as Linn. They have a country house on the island (there are 20 houses) that you can only get to by boat. We had fika with them and explored around the island a bit. Göran, his wife Monika and Olivia were very nice... Our next stop was Ängsö, an island that is a national ... read more

Fan, här sitter man och tvingar i sig morotssoppa baserad på burk-puré. Japp, hemma igen, men med magont som farväl från Israel! Detta inlägg är alltså till som en avslutning och sammanlänkning av hela resan. Att avsluta i Tel Aviv var nyttigt. Vi träffade alltså dels de två organisationerna Zochrot och Kav La'Oved, men också folk som jobbade/hängde på "Veggie bar", det vegetariska bokkaféet (om man hittar Kung Georges gata, så ligger det på en tvärgata vid nr 18, en bit in på tvärgatan). Eftersom hela landet i övrigt är så sjukt genomsyrat av säkerhetskontroller, samt de ogästvänliga personer jag berättade om sist, så var dessa människor en skön kontrast. När jag kom in på veggofiket på fredagen, så frågade jag först vad de hade på menyn (den var bara på hebreiska), då frågade killen bakom ... read more
