Starting off Vegan Month of Food with some musings around the standard question: so why are you a vegan? I’ve been vegan for one year and three months, to date. It started as a one-year pledge, to see if I could do it. Apparently I could! I might have failed…

Interesting times: a summer recap
Back on track, and the wheels are spinning as fast as ever. Autumn is here, and as usual for me there is so much to do. Not that I’m complaining, it helps keep my mind off the disturbingly deep thoughts. Thought a quick recap of my summer could be in…

China tour with Akademiska Kapellet, part 6
Friday morning was spent quietly in two buddhist temples. Interesting, and a calm and refreshing break from the insanity-inducing shopping. Might have found some kind of inner peace there among the incense, statues, monks, and praying people. In any case we found a wonderful vegetarian restaurant. A-hah! I knew there existed…

China tour with Akademiska Kapellet, part 5
At long last, the travel blog continues! Soon regular (or at least as regular as they get with me) updates will commence again. From Hangzhou we hurried on to Shanghai, a couple of hours by bus away. Or at least that was the distance between our hotel in Hangzhou and…

China tour with Akademiska Kapellet, part 4
On Monday we went up absurdly early to catch a high-speed train to Hangzhou. Naturally there were traffic jams all the way there so we got there too late, but apparently the tour manager managed to make the train wait for us. Crazy, but nice. Despite general tiredness and nothing…

China tour with Akademiska Kapellet, part 3
The following day we waved good-bye to Beijing, and went by bus to Tianjin. Since we were free this day as well, we headed out on town to explore (at least a tiny part of) the city. Nobody seemed to speak any English at all, so we showed the adresses…

China tour with Akademiska Kapellet, part 2
Time marches on. Ye gods, four weeks have already passed since I got home. I never got very far with the travel blog, but I made a promise, so here comes at last the continuation! The friday was dedicated solely to tourism. We started out visiting the great wall, or…

China tour with Akademiska Kapellet, part 1
Urghh, midsummer coma… Slept ridiculously long today, even by my standards. Think I must have needed it, though, both after a fun party yesterday and not having fully recuperated from the tour to China yet. Since I failed to write a travel summary a couple of days ago like I…
