Dear Johan…

"You did a double-take when you spotted me at the end of the line, but now, I have no idea why."

Full-time work

"We're a small mountain town on the east coast of Sweden where people speak Swedish or Finnish."

Housing in a small town

..."'ll probably die without a single penny invested in a house."

The death of everything else

"Your mind plays tricks on you, making you think that it was not that long ago; the laughter, the sunlight and warmth, the love."

Losing fat

"Visitors to my town notice that there isn't a big eating-out culture... Little do they know that it's at lunch time when the magic happens!"

The death of my father

"... my thoughts generally wandered to the subject of death, the after-life and the surreal nature of the universe."

Swedish Essays

"My research question was, “Has the Sami language's status improved since it became an official minority language?” I chose this topic because I have an interest in languages, and this particular group is endangered with some being  critically threatened."

That Swedish class…

"It sits there, forgotten and forlorn. One day, I'll pick it up again, dust it off and give it lots of kisses."

What does “rooting” do to an e-reader?

"The e-reading market has not been as lucrative in Sweden as in the U.S., and it is obvious by the lack of purchasing options."

This is Sydney

"We’ll meet again in the next life, buddy."
