I finished my report for the HKU about the period in Sweden. I also want to make some structure in the blogg. Therefore I have put all messages in four categories, based on what my first teacher there wrote about studying in another country.
an academic journey
a cultural journey
an intellectual journey
and an emotional journey
Next to these [...]
Today I met Masa, the Japanese guy (which I met earlier in the night train from Sweden) at the station to go into the city together. We did a more touristic route than I did yesterday I think, but nonetheless, very nice.
He wanted to see the museum für film und fernseher (movie and television). The [...]
The thought had gone to my unconscious. The travel I made gave me so much. Inspiration. Knowledge. Friends. Love. Life was (oh, and still is) so beautiful. I saw it, this beautiful life. I felt it. I know it now.
And then I saw this, here in Berlin. Wikitravel calls this neighborhood one with students, artists [...]
Writing from Berlin now, but no, I’m not going to write in German ;)
I really have to get used to the new place, changing my habits. I already can’t count the times I’ve said “tack” (thanks in Swedish) and “hej”.. Here “guten Morgen” is more used by “the local people” :)

Most of the songs were in Swedish so I didn’t understand the words, but I could understand the [...]
The current course is about leadership. Before I hoped it was a bit about personal leadership or a kind of flat leadership in which the leader is just another role in a project, like a chairman. As Marinka (my coordinator from HKU) already hinted it might not be that case. And it isn’t. We do [...]
In my current course, Leadership Development and Communication, we had to work in a group to make a change (yes, we can) inside an organization. After wanting to change the world via different UN bodies we came up with the idea to bring small bags of chips – common in the UK – to the [...]
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 [...]
I think I finally know how to pronounce the place where I live :)
To I met St. Eskil, see him on the right. This saint founded the tuna (a Swedish name for a village).
First I would pronounce Eskilstuna without much emphasis. But now I know to lay the emphasis on the E and the a. [...]
Nooo, the christmas tree is gone.. Untill yesterday this house close to the station still had one.
