Summer becomes more colourful when berries start showing up in the bushes. And when I see one I can hardly recognize which kind it is. I can tell strawberry and raspberry. But when I saw this red currant berries I had to ask hubby its name. They’re so tiny I thought they’re lingonberry as they [...]
After the draining kick-off meetings at work our most anticipated teachers’ trip was nonetheless invigorating after all. This time we acted as tourists in our city by using a 24-hour Gothenburg City Card that our headmasters purchased earlier for us. The day of the trip had coincided with the city’s Culture Festival and high season for tourists so we perfectly mixed with the real ones. There were [...]
I was with my Thai colleagues who happened to be plant-lovers. Both of them will stop and admire flowers and any plants they see on the streets, flower shops and plant stalls. Lately, they dragged me to the Green Houses at the Gothenburg Botanical Garden where we had our lunch at the garden’s restaurant after [...]
It’s this time of the year again when my job as a teacher is getting in the way of updating my blog. Blogging can be one of the legit work from home jobs but it’s hard to leave my full-time job at the moment. I love both teaching and blogging.
When summer starts my summer break starts but when summer ends and gone I’m back at work again. Though summer isn’t through yet I’m already busy working on my class schedule and all. Meetings here and there. Preparing this and that. Students will start filling the classrooms next week. It indicates the start of another [...]
Different types of architectures always fascinate me and this is probaly revealed in most of my travel photos. This picturesque row of architectures across Nybrokajen in Stockholm is so grand. We were taking a walk along Nybrokajen and what we saw across the water were different structural designs. I couldn’t get the whole row in [...]

Quite a late post about the start of Advent observation here but it has just started and just one of the four candles has been lighted. This is one event in this country that I don’t want to miss. Each year I spend time preparing my place for Advent. My kitchen window will always look [...]
To be honest, I hadn’t eaten these small, bite-sized dessert until a few months ago when we entered our room at Sheraton Hotel in Stockholm. I didn’t even know it was called French Macarons. I learned the name on Pinterest when I saw some pinned photos which I thought kind of well-known to me. I thought they’re just plain cookies but when I [...]
Decorative Pumpkins for Halloween
Halloween is just around the corner and some children can’t really wait to dress up scary. I always prepare goodies and candies just in case they come to ring the doorbell and rant “trick or treat?” in chorus. I’m not used to decorating my home for halloween but a tint of orange or yellow as a [...]
It’s my first time to join Vår Ruset yesterday at Slottsskogen (park). It’s a yearly race for women here in Sweden and Gothenburg had its turn yesterday. It happens in the month of May when Spring is at its best. All women at work or in different organizations are welcome to join. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a bit of luck [...]
We thought our final gathering at work this time would be uninteresting since we were told that the administration would not be treating us a free Christmas smorgasbord (julbord). We were instead told to have potluck, which sounded more or less pleasing to everyone. But it turned out to be a smorgasbord (smörgåsbord) of international food culture. From pasta to pirogue, spring rolls [...]

We’ve had to work for three days this week and yesterday, the final day, was a competency development at the Swedish National Museums of World Culture. The [...]
