...before leaving Singapore, this magnificent place! Proved to be so much more than I expected and remembered. Previously I've always been here in business, leaving a minimal time for visiting and exploring. This time we had both time, energy and curiosity enough to thoroughly investigate a great city! I'm just very happy things turned out this way as one of the purposes with the trip was to visit friends and as it turned out, our friends moved to Europe one month ago! A huge disappointment that was … [Read more...] about One Last Hooray
Total Contrast
Only two hours by ferry from Singapore and yet another universe. A crash tour to Tanjung Balai, Indonesia, and we left the western comfort behind. Mopeds with single or family drivers, gravel pavements, crowds, aircon units, smoking allierad insidors (and a lot of it!), no English spoken, gasoline sold in water bottles and also still friendly, welcoming, curious (how did you hear about this place, what are you doing here?) Singapore is so much about an affluent mix of Asia and the west, this small trip … [Read more...] about Total Contrast
Lounging In Singapore
In between sightseeing, visiting and walking, poolside is the place to be! That's what I call hardship... Fascinating place, Singapore. A bit of everything on a small surface, little India, Arab quarters, Chinatown, business district similar to any international hub, colonial buildings, high rises, huge parks, high-end shopping, bargain shopping - you name it, a bit of everything for everyone! I'm very curious as to what I'll find next! … [Read more...] about Lounging In Singapore
Sunday @ Royal Albert Hall
...enjoying brunch with jazz music! Dressed in my black business jacket, new Rag and Bone jeans in a dark denim wash, my old slightly bigger sized Michael Kors handbag (big enough to fit the much needed ever-present umbrella...) … [Read more...] about Sunday @ Royal Albert Hall
London Bound
Out traveling for the weekend, enjoying London for the first time in ages! Feels funny listening to 'Lovely', 'darlin', 'trousers' replacing 'awesome', 'honey' and 'pants'! Like mistakingly being American in the land of the British while actually being Swedish... Just slightly scizofrenic... But so enjoyable and fun! Shopping, enjoying the company of my friend, visiting the expo of Georgia o'Keeffe @ Tate Modern, laughter, strolling, eating, inspirational, fun! … [Read more...] about London Bound
Island Hoppin
Island hopping on the west side of Sweden in the archipelago close to Gothenburg is where I took off for my vacation. These islands are really worth a visit, the nature being very dramatic with a lot of variation as you can see on the pictures below. Covering both the smooth rocks, green mysterious woods, grasslands and of course the old fishing villages. They are easily accessible in connection to a visit to the city and you reach the islands within 40 to 60 minutes from downtown Gothenburg with a trip … [Read more...] about Island Hoppin
