Wednesday Words: Confucius says slow

This time "Wednesday Words" is a quote I feel is quite right for me at the moment. I've spent almost 5 weeks here at "Yangshuo Traditional Tai Chi School" in Jima, and haven't learned a thing! Plus, I still feel as the stiffest person who ever sat foot on Earth!   Besides, I've missed so … Continue reading Wednesday Words: Confucius says slow

Mutianyu – the stunt at the Great Wall of China

So, last time I was here, back in 1994, we visited Mutianyu, one of the most visited parts of the Great Wall of China.

Fisherman’s Village Market

"Marknad i Fisherman's Village" was first published on my Swedish Blog.   The best market on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand, is without doubt the one in Fisherman's Village - needless to rub it in, but I simply love Fisherman's Village.

Needless to say - I'm not the fittest person in the bunch, so climbing up the small hill turned out to demand quite a lot will power from me, while others … Continue reading Tonstad – gorgeous landscape

Photo of the Week – grandfather

As I mentioned last Sunday, I've managed to throw myself into a new exciting project: scanning old photographs. Today I'm sharing a photo taken in 1964 of my grandfather Håkan Larsson. I've done quite a bit post editing, as you probably can tell. One of my first attempts at colourising, and I really enjoy it, so … Continue reading Photo of the Week – grandfather
