New Year’s Eve: Vienna
The kids requested a quiet Holiday break in Lund, which was quite nice for all of us. We had a chance to tackle a few more items on the to-do-list as well as enjoy local festivities. Erin and Ramesh hosted a wonderful Christmas brunch and we had our second annual group Julbord in Malmö. After…

Advent season
I hosted fika at our apartment one afternoon and served glögg using the collection of cups that I collected from thrift stores around town. A clerk at the Grand Deli advised me what to serve for the most traditional glögg party. She recommended lingon knäcke, a kind of flat bread/ cracker, along with ginger cookies…

India, Part 1
I had a trip to India for work. There were 2 work parts – a work part and a personal part, so I will make this in 2 posts, spanning Mumbai, Mysuru, and Bengaluru. Part 1 is more my observations from the cities. My company has a growing footprint in India, both for manufacturing and…

Birthday week, part 2
…birthday week has turned into birthday month and it’s nearly December! At this point I will just try to choose a few moments to highlight and summarize the month of November. Erin and Melissa took me out for birthday lunch at Marvin, featuring “classic English suet pies” and wonderful crispy Mac and Cheese bites. We…

Hunting Season in the Grocery Store
Interesting to see all this game meat in the local grocery store. Alg = moose, hjort = deer/venison, vildsvin = wild boar, vildandsfile = wild duck, and renstek = reindeer.

Autumn in Spain
Our plans to visit my Spanish friend, Laura, had been on-hold since 2020 due to covid concerns and other circumstances. So I decided to take a solo trip. Even though it was not ideal to travel so soon after moving, I was tired of waiting for the perfect time. Laura’s daughter is spending a year…

Edinburgh
Another long-weekend adventure with my friend, Stephanie. We headed to Edinburgh in that small window where the crowds have gone but the weather is generally still pretty good. Of course the death of Queen Elizabeth put a twist on our plans so instead the city was fairly crowded, with nearly all the typical tourist sites…

A weekend in Amsterdam
My first visit to the Venice of the North wrapped up this morning with an early return flight to Copenhagen and then train to Lund. I missed the first half of Swedish class after all. Stephanie, an adventurous friend I met at International Citizens Hub walks, invited me to sub-in for her travel companion who…

Racing toward summer!
Every year, time seems to accelerate as Spring arrives, and this year is no exception. Valborg already seems like a distant memory and I never got around to posting about it! The crowd of 30 thousand people never materialized but the idea might have been enough to keep some folks away- in the end 20…

Roma
Bryant and I coordinated on our posts about the latest family trip and found it challenging to summarize, but here’s what we’ve got so far! We wanted to go someplace warmer for winter break, and chose Rome. It was an easy 2+ hour flight from CPH, and we had never been there before. We thought…
