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 [...]
I admit I like taking photos of snow and it’s the most valuable consolation that I can get in the winter despite its intense coldness. I have a large stock of photos of winter in my computer. Sometimes I’d compare how winter looked like before and the present. The recent winter at my place had [...]
The Film showing at Götaplatsen in Gothenburg is one of the highlights of Christmas in the city. The show starts at 4:30 p.m until as late as 9:00 p.m. I saw the premiere showing right after the lighting of Gothenburg Christmas lights on 7 December. The film show will end on 31 December. It’s a [...]
Early winter darkness engulfs the place like it’s going down below the ground. But thanks to the snow that covers the ground white it brightens the place even in the night. And the season becomes significant when Christmas is just around the corner. It’s in this season when the streets are adorned with colourful lights. [...]
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 [...]
One of the places my colleague and I visited for free with our Gothenburg City Card was the Universeum. We both hadn’t gone to this place before and it made us feel like a child when we finally saw what’s inside. We know that Universeum is popular among schools for students’ trip with their teachers. I [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
