Weddings and Castles

by Runaway Britupdated on 2 Comments on Weddings and Castles

On Saturday I attended my first wedding in Sweden. I am hesitant to say Swedish Wedding as, despite the geographical location, there was probably very little about the wedding that was traditionally Swedish. The bride is Swedish but has Finnish …

Anyone for Banana Pizza?

by Runaway Britupdated on 4 Comments on Anyone for Banana Pizza?

Nicklas once told me that Swedish pizza is ”The best pizza in the whole world”. Even better than pizza in Italy apparently.  As he has never been to Italy, and he has the typical Swedish belief that everything is better …

Välkommen till Västerås

by Runaway Britupdated on 5 Comments on Välkommen till Västerås

Welcome to Västerås: Sweden’s sixth largest city and the place that I will be calling home for the next year or so.   The city is one of Sweden’s oldest cities and was the second largest city in the 11th…

Sweden’s Drinking Culture

by Runaway Britupdated on 2 Comments on Sweden’s Drinking Culture

The good old houseparty is probably most common amongst students in the UK and usually serves as a precursor to the evening’s main event at the latest bar or club. Organising beverages is pretty easy: simply head down to Tesco, …

Learning a New Language

by Runaway Britupdated on Leave a Comment on Learning a New Language

Ms. Redford, my Year 11 Spanish teacher, predicted that I would get a D for my language GCSE. And that was only if I tried very hard. It was the only grade below a C that I was predicted out …

The Journey to Sweden

by Runaway Britupdated on 2 Comments on The Journey to Sweden

My first encounter with Sweden, aside from the obvious dance to ABBA on a Saturday night or spending spree in H&M, came in April 2008 when my friend Kelly and I were visiting Cambodia for a few weeks holiday …
