Last week I went to sit in Hubert’s chair (Hubert is the president of the international comity) and he told me about a project portraying the international students here around Mälardalens högskola. The idea is to show the Swedes around here who these students are. Swedes (sorry for the generalization again) are rather reserved and [...]

Ha, not everybody is succeeding in seeing the 3D image from the last post. So, here’s an update with some tips. And I’ve updated most of the pictures to be less stressing for the eyes. A new one first (full size): Look dizzy until you see four grey dots. Than you can try to look [...]

I’ve stopped my Swedish classes. I’ll continue to learn the language myself via exposure so to say, but not very active in these classes anymore. They were not going too fast, maybe even too slow, but it is no priority for me. It was good for me to list again what it was that I [...]

Again, in Dutch. I’ll keep on doing that because there are some people who want to hear my ‘native’ voice. But some English subtitles can be found at dotSub (oh, what a horrible website..). I’ve restarted Inbox Zero – a technique to process your email faster and ‘spend less time in your inbox’ – and [...]

I’ve been ‘doing nothing’, feels very good :) For my last course – which I finished with a ‘pass with distinction’ grade, the highest possible – I had to write a book review and I reviewed ‘A Geography of Time‘ by Robert Levine. Levine describes very interesting differences [...]

The last days I’ve been reading the blog of the Dutch crown prince, Willem-Alexander, also Prince of Orange. Willem-Alexander blogged about the trip to Antarctica he and Máxima made. In his first post, after they started in the beautiful Torres del Paine park in Chili, he writes: (…) Al hoewel het niet mijn bedoeling is [...]

I had a walk with Frida, the girl I met at the Indians place. She showed me around the park here, which was nice. I had to came on my prejuidice that there isn’t that much light pollution and that you can see the stars here in Sweden. Because here in the city, it is [...]

Saturday morning early we – almost all exchange students – left to Stockholm. The night before I’ve been dancing at a party at Kåren (the student union) which made it extra early.. but I was mentally prepared. At the station I bought a Balder (a sandwich with the same name as my brother) as I [...]

At Friday I was looking around at Wikipedia to see what this ‘hiking’ was about. I learned about the ‘Ten Essentials’; a list of items you should always bring with you when hiking. Most of it I didn’t have but that wouldn’t be so much of a problem. The path we would be walking was [...]
