Tunnelbana
An example of a really cool subway station in Stockholm. It’s the Tekniska Högskolan stop… I’ll add others later. I love that the stations are so clean and many stations also have their own unique artwork incorporated into the structure. Neato. [...]

A Sunday Fit for a King
I woke up, stumbled to the toalett, did my business, and started washing my hands. And that’s when I noticed it. I should have known better – than to spend the day on the beach, baking my hungover body under a cloudless sky. What kind of Anglo-Saxon descendant did I think I was, to dare [...]
