Home from home? It’s always nice to head out to Sweden, meet the family, eat some ice cream.

I used to be there for four or five weeks each year, when I was a child, but since I started university it’s really been only for a week, at most. The last couple of years have been long weekends, really. I’ve travelled in sweden a bit in the meantime, but not really spending time with my family – interrailing and doing a cycle tour.

The building in the photo is my mum’s stuga: her little cottage in the forest. Or rather, what’s left of the forest; the area is being rapidly developed and there’s not so much forest left.

The road we used to travel down on is the E6, and I can remember that road being basically deserted. Now it’s a relatively busy motorway, partly because of the bridge from Copenhagen to Malmö. Sweden seems to be doing fairly well at not letting the development destroy the culture, but I guess that only time will tell.
