Spring has Sprung

Living in Southern Sweden this time of year is the stuff dreams are made of. The weather is pleasant and every time you head out your door there are new flowers in bloom. Somehow when the weather is good everything just seems better. People's moods are lifted, the birds are chirping and everything just seems to be in a moment of peaceful blissfulness.

Just for laughs

Today a friend posted a comedy clip from RAW on Facebook. I had never heard of RAW before but it turns out they are a Comedy Club inb Stockholm.... They have had tons of international guests. So if you are looking for a spot to watch some comedy this might be a good stop.


This is the video that was put on Facebook and if you know even just a little Swedish you will find this funny (fastfoward past the intro interview to get to the good stuff!)



Here is another one, it has nothing to do with Sweden but I find this guy funny!



For more funniness check out their website!

IKEA %$#@ Yeah!

I believe it!

I did it! I finally did it! I went to IKEA.....

In the words of my friend Anne I am no longer an IKEA virgin. I am ashamed that I have lived in Sweden for almost seven months and have only now popped my IKEA cherry.....

Eat at a Nation!

I went for an amazing brunch at Kalmar Nation today for just 50SEK I had enough food to last me for the day including everything from eggs and bacon to waffles, soup, and even dessert! It was an amazing spread and the fact that it was super-duper cheap was a sublime cherry on top!

The awesome brunch today! What you can't see is the yummy waffle!

Happy International Women's Day

Taken off of New World Encyclopedia

If you didn't know it today, March 8, is international women's day. So I went onto a Lund Facebook group (knowing full well that lund is swarming with people of numerous nationalities) and asked how do you say Happy International Women's Day in your language....and this is what I got! It's totally awesome! (I can only hope that that's what they all actually say and that noone is cursing at me :) I just love seeing all of these different texts saying the same thing right next to each other (Yes! I am a nerd).

A little stop in Hjärup

A stone through away from Lund, Hjärup is a lovely little place to visit for an hour. During the week it is deathly quiet and you could be tricked into thinking you are the only person there.

Ice Hockey!

We were totally this close!

Last night I got to go to my first ever ice hockey game! and it was a big one! It was a 40 year anniversary game so the stadium was quite full! We went to watch the Malmo Red Hawks on their home turf.
