It took us 10 hours to drive up to Sweden. The bridge from Denmark reaches Swedish land at Lernacken, a limestone beachhead by Öresund around a kilometer from the block where I grew up. Hence, the fondness of the return to native toil from European mainland is for me, remarkably striking and emotional. We have now again settled in the house of "Dani", grandma Birgitta, living close to Ribban, the Malmö coast. I walk in the drizzle in the Malmö streets looking at the wrinkled, bearded, and chubby faces I meet, realizing that behind these frayed human remnants old class-mates and childhood friends could be hidden.
Discoveries of that kind is always slightly shocking. However the town of Malmö is strikingly clean, modern and much better kept than during my upbringing. Its a remarkable feat, that most likely should be credited to Mr Reepaalu, the social democratic head of the city council. We will continue to Stockholm this week-end. By the way, it is now possible to comment the blog without registering. Sorry for not fixing that until now.

Welcome back to Malmö and Scheweden!

Har varit slarvig och inte följt era äventyr på ett tag. Spännande. Är ni i Stan länge? Själv har jag nu jobbat på Datainspektionen två veckor och det verkar bra. Örjan disputerar idag, ska på disp-fest ikväll. Vi hörs!
