The IKEA was selling them for 1,49 euro a piece.  I thought that odd since they were normally a couple thousand each. I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. I bought 60. I like plaids.

Will be fun to see all these JWG kids sitting nice and warm behind their telescopes or by the camp fire.

Some pictures of Linköping in the winter. Trying out my new Picasa plugin…

What more information does anyone need, really?

In Zweden bakt men met Kerstmis een peperkakhuis.

Supervet weer hier, het sneeuwt al een paar dagen als een gek, net als in Nederland volgens mij trouwens. Overal ligt een dik pak en er is bijna geen doorkomen aan. Reden te meer om met mijn ontzettende winterspikes en magnums op de fiets naar mijn werk te rijden. Vanmorgen moest ik toch even afstappen om een paar mooie plaatjes te maken. Met mijn ontzettende W810i.

Last weekend I discovered that illegal stuff does happen in Stockholm. A tekno party in one of the abandoned Södermalm railroad tunnels. Apparently there’s a whole bunch of these tunnels around Södermalm. The tracks were used to transport the wounded to Södersjukhuset during the war, I learned from Burmester. Actually that got me wondering, what was going on in Sweden during WWII?

Anyway, what could have been awesome turned out to be a classic fail. From the start I thought it was strange that the party was announced on Facebook, but I was thinking hey this is Sweden, maybe it just works here. Unfortunately not, by the time we got there the police had already cleared the area. Too bad because it was a pretty cool idea, building a sound system on a ghost railroad track inside a mountain… And on the bright side, it’s the closest I’ve come so far to hearing real tekno in Sweden. We did actually hear two or three bars of high speed kick drums but that was it.

Better luck next time…

After my third flat tire in a row I figured it was time for new outer tubes on my bike. I want to keep on biking during Swedish winter when the streets are filled with snow, slush and ice, without falling on my muil all the time. So I put on these awesome snow studs. They have metal spikes in them. Metal spikes rock.

In the past few weeks I’ve been traveling up and down to Linköping regularly. Sweden has pretty nice trains, luxurious and with breakfast and internet and all that, but man do I miss my car.

The trip to Linköping lasts an hour and a half. I have thusfar had the pleasure of spending those 90 minutes amidst screaming babies, puking babies (bye bye brand new shoes), women wearing eau-de-cilit-bang, and right now this obnoxious dude sitting next to me is literally screaming in his phone, when he’s not coughing his guts out that is. I want my good old Ford back !
