the saturday

Kategori: In English

last saturday i had my last (among the very few) party in Gothenburg! I took a break from the home exam to drink some wine with dear friends.

Despite lack of own wine i managed to get some, probably because of my excellent social skills and totally charming eyes... Or it could be the more likely reason that Dana had gotten some wine from her friends and wanted to share...

The party was in the to me unknown suburb of gothenburg in my friend Kjells enormous house. I tried many times to change the music but the natives were too many. I have realized that Gothenburg is the alternative town in Sweden, plenty of synth music is played everywhere and so also at this party!

After some drinks you can manage to listen to anything :)

No but seriously, great evening and im happy i one last party in Gothenburg this semester, I think I so deserved it! This semester has been too many long study days instead of long party nights. I just hope the thesis grade will make up for the effort!

 





Kjell is half Asian?

Conversations

Kategori: In English

I just got off a conversation with Mr Bo and we talked a bit about the fact that he is coming to visit me this summer.

I told him that we will drink wine everyday so he will feel a bit like home. In France apparently everyone has a wine cellar (of course!). Or as Bo like to call it: "Wine cave" :)

I told him that we dont have any wine cellars in Sweden, we only have meatballs in our cellars...

Bo - Oh really?! That's so cool!
Me - Yes we have one meatball from 1967...
Bo - Really?!


Hahaha! oh those frenchies and their swedish prejudice!




I have to learn how to do these kind of jumping pictures...

Be ready with your camera for our next vacation Bob! ;)

Eurovision update

Kategori: På svenska

sååå sverige åkte ut ur Eurovision, första gången nånsin som vi inte få vara med och tävla om "Deuce points" i finalen!

Jag skrattar lite åt det inombords, jag visste att den aldrig skulle klara sig. Hennes röst känns helt osäker och refrängen är egentligen non-existerande. En sång på bara tre minuter är supersvårt att få till en bra ballad genom att bara stå och gunga lite fram och tillbaka på en scen utan någon vidare röst...

Visst det är en fin liten sång men i jämförelse med alla långa snygga östeuropéer med megaröst som slår Beyonce så känns sveriges bidrag väldigt....

- "Mööh"

Tidigare år så har jag varit väldigt insatt i Eurovison och även melodifestivalen i Sverige men nu känner jag bara att det är bara skit alltihop. Det är liksom en miljon låtskrivare som sitter hemma i soffan för att komma på en sång som ska va så lätt-lyssnad som möjligt. Resultatet blir bara en sång utan någon som helst känsla! Igår var första kvällen jag såg och ja, det mesta är skit men ändå intressant att se vad olika länder har för musik.

Just nu hejar jag på Rumänien, skulle va kul om de vinner! Sen gillar jag Tysklands sång väldigt mycket också, skulle va coolt om de vann för en gångs skull...


Rumänien




Tyskland

Två väldigt olika låtar men sköna att lyssna på liksom...

Paris part 2

Kategori: In English

first an announcement,
people complained on my tie knot! tzzz, talk about hitting the one who is already lying down... ;)

So now more stories and pictures from the fashion capital!

The second day in Paris me and Bob was going to meet our thesis company Pschhh in Montmarte. The old hooker neighbourhood where you can find loads of strip bars, the famous Moulin Rouge, porn shops as well as one of the cities most beutiful churches; Sacre Couer... Everyone needs religion, eeh?

Unfourtunately the weather was not so very good, partly raining so were mostly running around in the little cafés and souvenir shops. Since it was raining too much we decided to go to the company a bit earlier. Luckily we did because of course we got lost in the little streets. I could never thought that Paris had so many tiny streets everywhere! I've never seen such a town...




Luckily for us Bob had her tiny computer with her so we could go to Starbucks and log online to find the address (I had somehow written the address to our hotel instead of the company...)

Look at the pidgeon in the background!!! This in the combination with the face of joy to find where we are! HAHAHAHAHA

After a long interview the weather were better, Sacre Couer is a beautiful church and probably with the best view!










The best buy (and unfourtunately the only shopping I could afford in Paris) was this Shirt!

Paris je taime

In the evening we went bananas and decided to go and see the Eiffel tower by night. So so beautiful, we have tonnes of crazy pictures. Bob published an album on facebook. Try if you can see them here

freedom is just around the corner!

I went up today to be in school at eight to do the final presentation of the thesis. I was in time and had decided to look professional (which i already decided the day before...) and wear a nice white shirt and tie. I was about to take on the shirt before eating breakfast but then i remembered again that its not a very good combination to eat breakfast when being totally over-tired... (i would have half of the food on the white shirt!)

Sooo i decided to get totally ready before taking on the shirt and tie. With plenty of time to go to the tram, I open my closet, take on the shirt, find my tie...

TO NOTICE THAT IT IS UN-TIED!

crap indeed... i dont know how to tie a tie!

Luckliy skype was close to hand so i called the only timezone that is awake at 7.45 in the morning, Taiwan! Mr Bo helped and after some time i guess i learned how to tie it! ;)

The presentation went really good anyway and our mentor (who will grade the thesis) defended the paper more than we did! I really want a god grade on this, it would be a perfect end for my studies!


Look at that tie...


Now its "just" the home exam left!

A monster exam... aaaaaaahhh!

what to do

Kategori: In English

... when it comes to nature!?

Today its freezing again, like autumn! I guess its fine for now since i still have plenty of work to do. But next week it'd better be sunny!! Then i will try to work up some tan since it will be my last week here in Gothenburg and my last chance to use the balcony! :)

Here are some pics from the very summer-feeling weekend when me and Bob was forced to sit inside and work. (the picture is taken at a very short break) ;)


First time wearing shorts outside for this summer! And they are new! Love the colour...



I miss Paris!

Kategori: In English

I still have so much to tell about my Paris trip a few weeks ago, we'll see when i have time to write something about it. What i know is that it is the most beautiful city... And beautiful architecture.

I think im gonna print this and put up on my wall, what do you think?!

Mr M said that you can print large posters in Germany for only a few Euro, im pretty sure you have to pay ten times of that here in Sweden! Maybe i will make an order instead

Im now a master!

Kategori: In English

With master i mean that i have now finished the master thesis! Today, ten minutes before the deadline, me and Bob took the thick piece of paper to the course coordinators' office.

The feeling is sooo nice! The thesis has not been graded yet but i have a very good feeling that it will be apprecieted. I will know more on thursday when we have the presentation and opposition of the paper.

For your potential interest (haha) the thesis is written in english about touch screens and what its abilities are as a communication tool. We have interviewed a company in Paris that's working with this and their client and we found out that it touch screens are very useful to sell products in retailing! Maybe you will use one in the store one day...
It has been a very long process to this day but right now i feel that it was all worth it! I wanted to write this thesis because i really want a career abroad, hopefully companies will want me more now! The abstract was written in english and in french (thanks to mr Bo!) so hopefully someone will find me interesting in Paris :)

It was a long weekend to make the very last fix of the thesis! Here is Bob searching for anything in my landlords fridge that she could eat, haha!




This is how the analysis is written, one hand with the cocktail and the other one on the computer!



This picture was taken right before we turned in the paper! Look at the faces, thats pure joy! ;)



We celebrated our big day with sushi, victory has never tasted so good!

If anyone wants the thesis, feel free to ask! (Hahaha, like that ever would happen, its fifty pages full of marketing word poop!)

Summer is here

Kategori: In English

So it has been one week and two days since i was in here! that is really just too too bad... i wonder how many readers there still are out there?

Well i did have my reasons, when i came back from Paris I had a few days before i went home to my family and then off to my old university Växjö for some reunion time!

Over the week, i have had a lot of up and downs in my mood, from tears of laugh to pure sadness. Long story and im sorry but some things are just too private to be mentioned here on the blog...

Right now im fine anyway and i hope that things will be settled so i can breath out, relax and enjoy the summer that very suddenly has arrived to Sweden!! Just this week the temperature went from 14C to 25C! Extremely nice...

The only thing though is that i cant fully enjoy it since me and Bob have to sit inside and work with our master thesis! We are so close to being done now and it actually feels really good this far and im sure we will make it done until the deadline on monday. We only have to put together the analysis and the rest of all small fix which shouldnt take longer time than this weekend. After that there is still the final seminar and a take home exam in another class... Im feeling positive though so i will just try to keep that feeling!

Someone had very brutally vandalised the fountain on Järntorget here in Gothenburg by putting soap in the water! :) It was foam everywhere and small clouds of foam was flyin around in the air, the perfect time for a little picture, new shirt, new/old pants!






And belive me, im still gonna post the rest of my travel blog from Paris AND the story about the best reunion weekend! it will have to wait until i have some rest from the thesis, otherwise i will be working over time! ;)

Paris, the arrival

Kategori: In English

So Mr M was nice enough to drive me all the way to Cologne where we said good bye and I went on the high speed train to Paris. After (as always) being totally lost within the train i found my seat and it was indeed a pleasant ride! I recommend the high speed train to anyone travelling in Europe! I got a French Thalys train this time, i heard some german kids saying that it was a new train so that is maybe why it was so nice ;)

I was surprised of how easy it was to see when i left Germany and entered Belgium. Bright stone houses was changed to dark and older brick buildings. Suddenly there was no more houses and only never ending fields of green and yellow, this was France. An amazing view to any swede i think.

Caroline called me to tell me that she could pick me up and take me to a restaurant where I was going to meet some more of my fellow friends from Taiwan.

Agathe was of course late as usual! But now i also know why she is, as the real Parisian as she is, the motto rules:

"In Paris you are never late!"




Tai gui le reunion!! Agathe, Caroline and I went for a crazy China trip together. It was so nice to meet again!!




Well, just because you live in paris it doesnt mean you know where to find the Eiffel tower... ;)


On the bridge over Seine


Beautiful Notre Dame! I never thought it would be so white

The day ended at a restaurant with Bob's friends, eating very typical french food. Delicious but oh so fatty!





The jumping picture of the day: :)



Totally exhausted of the long day, me and Bob found the way back to our hotel in the best district in town ;)

im tired of sleeping alone in my bed

I am thinking of you

Sweden is not a part of Europe

Kategori: In English

Hello dear bloggiblog! Haven't been writing now for an eternity but as usuall i have an excuse. Internet has not really been prioritized in Paris! this amazing amazing place :)

I have said many times that i have arrived to my favourite city and now i have to re-do my list again, Paris is my new favourite even though its totally flooded with frenchies! I got used to them in taiwan i guess so now they were not too overwhelming actually, more very welcoming actually!

I have have taken almost 800 pictures from paris and i have already posted them on facebook but as usual the best photos will be published here on the blog! ;) Right now i just dont know where to start though, i guess i will have to publish every day for itself!

More or less, me and Bob did all Paris or all of the top 10 guide book anyway! This meant loads of walking and early mornings and days full of sightseeing! Me and Bob are really the perfect most dedicated tourists!

Right now im just bored to be back in Sweden, the continent is much more green than here in Sweden. Probably because its also much warmer than here! People feel much nicer also, especially in germany. Just their language is made to feel much more polite and welcoming.

Like in Siegen when I went to buy some bread at the bakery the lady greeted me with a Guten Morgen and said good buy with Auf Wiedersehen und schönes wochenende.. so sweet!!
And when i was in Paris and Caroline asked a lady for direction, she ended the conversation with something like: Merci beaucoup Madame and have a nice evening!

Europe (the continent) is cuter than Sweden, even the roads are tiny in the big city and there are small monuments in every street corner. Every block has its own little bakery and local cheese/sausage store.

cute cute cute...
