Day 10
... too good a job of integrating myself into Swedish society (although I draw the line at a few things, for example all the inflexible traditions - the rebel in me just has to eat my split pea soup on a day other than Thursday). But I've at least had a chance to observe people and remember how I used to be and how I still can be if I consciously choose to do so.

I haven't actually recognised anything here yet apart from the Arts Tower, which even I can't forget (guess the trauma of the paternoster lift runs deep). Even the station has changed completely.
