KL 07.25 Så kommer jag och min vän William att skutta iväg på ett litet äventyr i Sydostasien i tre månader.

Jag måste erkänna att jag inte har varit ute på så många äventyr i mitt 21 åriga liv.
Lumpen är väl de närmaste jag har kommit ett äventyr, men vad jag har hört från andra så är det faktiskt ett litet äventyr, dock på hemmaplan i blåbärsskogen.
Vi får helt enkelt se vilket som blir störst. Först ska jag ta mig till Arlanda, bara det kan bli ett äventyr.

... enter, its a pretty remarkable sight. And also kind of eerie - like a ghost ship. The museum is also very well done (finally) and they do a great job of explaining how the ship was salvaged, what life was like during that time, what the ship would have looked like, etc. There is also a little movie, which was very informative. Overall, really cool, one of the highlights of the trip so far. (Which is surprising, because I wouldn't have thought myself that ...

... 1912, but some cool interactives as well) * The Museum of Science and Technology (excellent, with heaps of quality displays and hands on activities - space, the telephone, cars, bikes & motorcycles, mining, the computer) * We also got a 50 minute Royal Canal Tour on the ferry with an ear plug guide as well. Quite an interesting little trip, we went past a house belonging to one of the members of ABBA - although they wouldn't say who! 3rd Day: We ...

One Monday morning about a month earlier, after another dreary 7.30am class, I had this feeling that I just had to book a trip for the long weekend at the end of May. Following a second class, I raced home and had a look at the budget flights on offer, given trips to Vilnius or Budapest seemed too far and too expensive. I narrowed it down to Milan or Stockholm, and after a brief facebook message thread, my former IH colleagues Chris and John decided on Stockholm. It would be a ...

... in the afternoon and it is a pretty festive sight. After walking around the palace we decided to cross the river and visit another island. The next island contained museums and I will try and attach a photo of someones vision of heaven, this is what is called modern art. weird... As well as that there were couple of other nice museums there. The next place we visited was Vasa museum.Vasa is a Swedish ship that sunk after only ...

... a pretty big week and I've had fun and made a few mates so far. It tuns out that my classes don't even start until next week (I think) and even when they do, they're only for 4 or 5 hours a week. So I think I'm gonna get a job and join a club or something so that I don't just spend all my time bored or drinking cause I didn't come over here for either of those reasons. Anyway, saying that, we're about to head out again tonight so I'll write some more later - cya

... internet, we headed back early and worked more in our apts where we have good wireless internet. I was glad to miss the rush hour crowd and I did not complaint a bit about leaving early. We hope that Kenneth will return from Spain tomorrow and help us get connected. I have some stuff to print out and can't wait to get my research moving forward. I decided to work while watching the sun set on the patio up on the apartment ...

... medieval Gamla Stan, picking up THE best desserts I've ever tasted. Seriously. These changed my life. Unfortunately, we had to catch a bus out of Stockholm, but we got to see a last Swedish sunset over wooded countryside on the way to the airport. The best bit of Stockholm is how little it feels like a big city. The whole city revolves around water (it's really 14 islands over Lake Malaren and the Baltic Sea) and I really was on a boat ...

... People are playing a walking a lot too, some have Nordic walking sticks to assist with walking, bladeing or dry skiing. It looks like the dry skiers are preparing for the winter snow skiing season. Morning starts early here, like about 3am. The birds start singing at 4 and sliding down our canvas roof, unable to get a foothold, they're very noisy. Of course night fall doesn't begin to settle in until after 12mn ...

... seat warmers in Olof's trusty Saab station wagon - a vehicle highly recommended if you're transporting large dogs - we cruised the country in style; crossing ice rivers, appreciating some of the crazy highway signage which abound, witnessing the wrecked aftermath of driving too fast in said chaotic conditions, and ...
