Before I learned to drive a car I could only sit and lay back when I would be on the road with hubby. He could drive for hours, until I’d ask him to stop at a closest rest area to stretch my legs. When we’d drive to southern Europe from Sweden we’d take the Autobahn, Germany’s freeway. There are small roads [...]
From Copenhagen we drove to Rödby where we took the ferry to Puttgarden, Germany instead of driving all the way to cross Denmark. It was quite a long drive and dark on the freeway. When you drive through Denmark you’ll notice that it’s a flat land. Since we drove late at night we just enjoyed [...]
There’s something about people hanging out at a church and it’s not just any church around but the Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom). I just posted a single photo of this Cathedral long ago but I discovered lately that we took many photos of it when we were in Berlin.
Think about how many sightseeing boats pass through the Spree river and see the beautiful city of Berlin. Sightseeing boats are a way of exploring a place when travelling so why not grab a ride and enjoy the view.
While browsing the old images folder in my other computer I found pictures from our previous travels apparently taken with a film camera. I couldn’t help but admire the architectures I captured while in the car with hubby driving around the place. I remember we stopped by and stayed in a hotel in Munich and [...]
We are turning the clock forward for daylight saving time (DST), though I don’t need to do it manually, thanks to our radio-controlled wall clock that shifts to summertime or wintertime automatically. Otherwise, I may have to get up at 2:00 AM tomorrow to turn my clock forward. But I couldn’t possibly do this, who could [...]
France is one of the most gorgeous countries in the world, with serene countryside, exquisite architecture and cuisine that makes you want to move there. Not everybody visits France for its history, or even because they are visiting a friend though. Some go there for the casinos. Despite the fact that different types of gambling, [...]

Online Catalogues For Easier Shopping
Shopping online is a trending activity in front of the computer. It’s, however, a decisive choice to browse for catalogues online before indulging into excessive shopping. The eckersleys art craft catalogue, for instance, gives an overview of the products for art and craft enthusiasts.
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 [...]
Revisiting National Museums of World Culture
This autumn break has been relaxing for me despite the paperworks I’ve needed to be done. But that’s the life of a teacher – working a little on school breaks. 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 [...]
