Uppsala, revisiting Stockholm and a Comic Con

It’s been many, many years since my first and only visit to Stockholm so far. I took the opportunity to visit it again by combining a trip to Sweden with a trip to Denmark to visit my partner and meet some of his friends at a yearly meetup they have. The first part of the journey was all on my own though, and I figured that if I visit Stockholm, I might as well also visit Uppsala, where I’ve never been before. On the day of my flight, I landed very late at 23:30, and then took a train to […]

I wasn’t, instead I was completely overwhelmed by how beautiful that city is! Both Stockholm and Sweden are stunning and on top of that the weather was perfect (I got sunburned!). And everything is in Swedish! Swedish people everywhere! How exciting! Anyway, here’s my diary, complete with […]

Swedish Music (Musik Non Stop)

A little post about (for normal people) unusual music, inspired by my own ramble about the world and how it needs more singing and by Michael’s posts about cover versions of songs. This my small ramble about unusual music in Swedish language which is nevertheless pleasant to listen to. Unfortunately the sample songs are not always my personal favorites, but most of them are good anyway. To listen to the sample, just click on the small arrow! Dia Psalma – Balladen om lilla Elsa Best of Album: Psalmade Psalmer Dia Psalma are a Folk Punk band – their music is […]
