And so once again I end up in a state where I’ve got so overwhelmingly much to say that nothing at all comes out. I just don’t know where to begin. So many wonderful, strange, chaotic, confusing, interesting, painful and joyous things have happened to and around me the past…

I love my life
Wow. It’s been over a week since I posted The Confession, and I am still feeling slightly overwhelmed by all the positive response and love and support I got bombarded with, by friends and strangers alike. This will warm my heart for a long time to come, and when things…

Current happiness and hope for future adventures
All is well. I am sitting in a sofa at my mother’s place with a cat by my side. Outside are snow-covered fields and forests, and more snow has been falling ever since I got here. I have just handed in the last of my reports for the year. There…

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.

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…
