My Life As A Swede: November 2009
http://swedishnic.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
My Life As A Swede. The tedious and incoherent ramblings of a young Australian living in Sweden. Tuesday, 10 November 2009. The BBC has just made a television adaptation of Henning Menkel’s novels, starring Kenneath Branaugh as Kurt Wallander. I’m not sure now the rest of the world views it but from Sweden it looks completely bizarre. This is a TV series set in Sweden, filmed in Sweden, where all the characters are meant to be Swedish, and yet the whole thing is in English. I suppose when you’re li...

My Life As A Swede. The tedious and incoherent ramblings of a young Australian living in Sweden. Tuesday, 1 September 2009. Contrary to the views of some. God doesn’t hate Sweden. In fact he lives in Sweden and even has a mobile phone here. A church in Helsingborg are pleased to report that they've uncovered a phone number for the big man. 1 September 2009 at 18:00.

My Life As A Swede. The tedious and incoherent ramblings of a young Australian living in Sweden. Wednesday, 11 March 2009. What is it with ferris wheels at the moment? I’ve just returned to Sweden after a holiday back in Melbourne, where the most visible sign of change on the skyline of my native city is a giant wheel. On my return I learn that Gothenburg are planning on building a giant wheel too. Why this obsession with glorified amusement park rides? Melbourne’s wheel, the Southern Star. Have one ferr...

My Life As A Swede: Svensk Stad
http://swedishnic.blogspot.com/2009/06/svensk-stad.html
My Life As A Swede. The tedious and incoherent ramblings of a young Australian living in Sweden. Thursday, 11 June 2009. Every town will typically centre around a large public square and 99% of the time that square will be called Stor Torget (The Big Square). I can confidently say there is not a town or village in all of Sweden that doesn’t have a Stor Torget, even if it isn’t the main square. 11 June 2009 at 20:06. True I grew up in a medium-sized city, in the north, Luleå, but I have no feelings for it.

My Life As A Swede: A Midsummer Treat
http://swedishnic.blogspot.com/2009/06/midsummer-treat.html
My Life As A Swede. The tedious and incoherent ramblings of a young Australian living in Sweden. Saturday, 20 June 2009. Yesterday was the Swedish Midsummer, a big national event here. Despite being a celebration of summer, the weather is always inevitably gray and wet. Below is an advertisement made by Ikea Germany making fun of the Swedish Midsummer traditions. Ikea HQ in Sweden didn't find it so funny and banned the ads, yet they've made their way onto youtube.com. Hi there. great blog!

My Life As A Swede. The tedious and incoherent ramblings of a young Australian living in Sweden. Friday, 23 January 2009. Fishing in Utopia: Sweden and the Future that Disappeared (A book review). So when I heard about. Andrew Brown’s Fishing in Utopia. A book written by an English journalist who used to live in Sweden, I was pretty quick to get a copy. Part travelogue and part personal memoir, Fishing in Utopia. Personally I enjoyed Fishing in Utopia. My only real criticism would be Brown’s sectio...

My Life As A Swede: June 2008

My Life As A Swede. The tedious and incoherent ramblings of a young Australian living in Sweden. Thursday, 19 June 2008. A Cause Without Rebels. So now I’m thinking maybe there is some form collective reverse psychology going on. You encourage kids to rebel and so they do the opposite: they completely conform. You tell them to disobey, they obey. And I suppose refusing to rebel when you’ve told to rebel is still a form of rebellion. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
