Saturday, October 06, 2007. Not so) cheap thrills. This morning's shopping trip to Malmö included a stop at Gray's American Store. Behold! A store full of some of the products Americans love best, at extremely high prices (though not so high that I was unwilling to splurge). A box of Annie's Mac n Cheese: 38 kronor ($5.85). A bottle of McCormick Vanilla extract: 52 kronor ($8.00). A box of Betty Crocker brownie mix: 60 kronor ($10.50). BbElf (a.k.a. panda). How do they survive? I put vanilla in everything.

Friday, November 30, 2007. It’s funny how the closer I get to coming home, the more I want to stay in Sweden (even though there were times during the last six months when I would have given anything. To be back in California). It almost always works that way, though, doesn’t it? Here are some of the best ones…. You know you’ve been in Sweden to long when…. 8230;you rummage through your plastic bag collection to see which ones you should keep to take to the store and which can be sacrificed to garbage.

Linnea in Lund: December 2007
http://linneainlund.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 14, 2007. Last two weeks in Lund, Pt. 1. It was a busy time! Today we said “Tack” to our Swedish teacher, Annika, and thanked her for being such a wonderful friend and instructor to the die-hard intermediate Swedish learners (only 7 of us left by the end of December! We gave her a group photo and brought a treat from Mormor's bakery. Then I decked the halls the traditional Swedish (and American) way, with an amaryllis and a wreath from the local grocery store:. St Lucia Day and exam day.

Wednesday, November 28, 2007. Sunday through Tuesday went something like this:. We shopped til we dropped. We ate ourselves silly at restaurants everyday for lunch, but cooked our own dinner (with salad! Almost every night. We laughed (at ourselves and at the Swedes). We braved the cold weather, bundled in our scarves and hats and gloves. We visited museums full of art and Swedish culture. We spent hours walking around town on skyltsöndag, marveling at the beautiful city of Lund. Labels: i love lund.

My fifth week of classes looked something like this:. 20 hours of Swedish class. 5 hours (at least) of homework. 1 lecture (about Swedish film! 3 field trips (first to the Museum of Sketches for Public Art, second to the Botanical Gardens in Lund, and third to the Folketspark for a night of Swedish folk music and traditional dance).

Wednesday, June 20, 2007. The transatlantic slog is never much fun. I left my house in Berkeley at 4AM on Tuesday. It took three planes and over 24 hours of traveling to end up where I am now:. Fiskebäck (Gothenburg), Sweden. It’s nice to finally sit down in a chair that isn’t 30,000 feet above the ground nor sandwiched in between a plastic wall, a seatback, and other people’s knees. Though the midnight sun was beautiful. As we flew north it never got completely dark. I literally almost fell asleep onto ...

Sunday, December 02, 2007. Tonight was the Julstök at Lund’s culture and history museum, the Kulturen. It seemed like the whole city showed up to wander through the open-air part of the museum, where historical Swedish buildings create a cozy little village. The museum was all lit up, and with darkness falling well before 4PM, it was a really wonderful holiday atmosphere. I thought the highlight of the night was buying a pig-shaped pepparkakor cookie which was then personalized with MY name. Hey, next ti...
