My 'life' in photos

Shout out to the #1 Renblog fan to ever exist: BLaf. Can't wait for the classiest of dining experiences in the eloquent banquet hall known as the Bayshore Food Court.

Also, you know it's been a lazy say when you update your blog twice. haha. I am a loser.



Så, I just want to write a little about the Swedish bar scene. Now, we all know they become ruthless pushers while inebriated. However, last night I was further shocked by another bar trend. So here is the deal: you're busting a move with your crew on the D-floor, drink in hand. Now, this 'D-floor' is not giant,so it's quite easy to navigate in and out of. Once said drink is finished, is not the natural inclination to step (briefly) off the dance floor to place the empty drink on a table or a nearby surface? I'm pretty sure that this causes very little pain or suffering, and generally does not cause any deterioration of fun or dance moves, and one can quickly return to the latest Lady Gaga song blaring from the speakers. So last night, again, at this club I witness COUNTLESS people dropping their beer bottles and empty glasses onto the floor. No remorse, no guilt. No one reacting to this. Without exaggerating, I stepped on at least ten different items, and saw people doing this. I even cut my finger while picking up a glass. There is do-gooder karma for you! But really. . . who just throws a glass on the ground? It wasn't just super-drunk hooligans. You know those ads on public transit: 'If you see something, say something' ?, well, I saw something, and I am saying something! People will break their ankles, get cut, or just weirdly have to dance around bottles. So from me to you Sweden: not cool.
(I know most of Sweden reads this blog.)

Anyways, other than that, can't complain.
Here is some visual accompaniment to my life in Sweden. You will see copious amounts of food. . . lots of pictures of snow. . . not so many of people. haha that's quite okay. In no particular order:

#1: The 'Modern Language' Dept. French, Spanish and German. At the local Canadian bar! Note the antlers on the wall.


The almost final set up! Yes, I am a hostess.


On my walk to work. A little Christmas set-up.


Not yet finished product!


Next few photos:
instead of Christmas lights, Swedes put up lights in their windows. Either a star or a candle-looking this. It coincides with the Sunday of advent. It's pretty nice, but I am looking forward to the bright, bright lights.

Also, my courtyard full of snow!



Göteborg lights!



Snacks, snacks, snacks!


I bought that little Santa at a thrift short for about 20 kronor!
Fun fact: Santa : Tomten.
