Sorry.. haven’t had much time to post during the week..

Not all’s gloom though.. here’s some pictures of food to cheer you up!

Apples! We can get apples growing on trees here.. In the University (Stockholm, that is, not KTH.. at least not that I’ve seen), outside Universitetet station, at Uppsala University.. So.. we just plucked a few.. Nice!

Anyone like ice cream (“glass” in Swedish) ? We found this cone near T-Centralen for 25 SEK.. And boy was it huge.. It doesn’t look too big in the picture, but it weighed an estimated 1kg (?) and took us around 20 to 30 mins each to finish our cones. No more dinner after that!

And you really, really have to love the size of their food portions here. Check out the size of this lasagne we had at a grill bar at Kungshamra (i Bergshamra!). For only 40 SEK, you get a choice of pizza, salad or pasta. Being the greedy, meat loving people we are, we didn’t go for the salad, and ended up with pizza and lasagne instead. The pic shows the pasta, but the pizza..oh man.. it was the smallest they had, but it was still about the size of a large pizza from California 2-4-1 back in Singapore. For only 40 SEK! That’s a little less than 10 SGD! (Well, from 2-4-1 you get 2 pizzas, but that’s another issue altogether =)

Eating out everyday is gonna burn a huge hole in my wallet.. so since I love my wallet, I have to bring lunch with me to work each day (provided I wake early enough that is =) Here’s a few pics of what I’ve been bringing with me.. Can you guess what I had on the day I woke late? The pasta dish in the second pic is a simple little one.. with fried garlic, sliced mushrooms, ham and sliced tomatoes, drizzled with some light salad dressing.. Nice! After the fried garlic had time to mingle with the salad oil, they formed a seriously heavenly flavour.. Try it some time!

There was a party/gathering at my workplace on Tuesday.. the occasion being the grand opening of the incubator that my company was in.. So there was food (including something that looked remarkably like satay), wine.. and this bottle above. It looked kinda cool.. and the people there seemed to enjoy drinking it.. quite a few of them were popping of the caps and pouring nice huge glasses of it. I found out that it wasn’t alcoholic, so decided to try a bottle. Guess what?

URGH!

It turned out to be carbonated water. Plain carbonated water. URGH.

Well there was a lime flavoured one, I found out at the end, but I seriously doubt it could be any better.

Oh, and here’s a pic that was supposed to be in my first post but somehow got missed out. Remember the dinner we had on our first day in Sweden? The one with fried fish, mashed potatoes and salad in a wrap? Well, here it is, fiskrulle!

That’s about all for now.. Stay tuned!

Hej dåg!
