Law Exchange
Deadly Denim Days
Sweden is a long way away both in distance and time. I could be sitting in a chair ruminating about anything and suddenly a thought will hit me that I’m not in Sweden, did Sweden actually happen or was the whole thing a dream? Strangely enough, I …
Name Day Shenanigans
One of my faux pas during exchange was wishing Constantinos a happy birthday on a day which was actually not his birthday but his name day. In Game of Thrones the two seem to mean the same thing but in the real world a name …
Tranccidental Running
When I first got back from Sweden, the first thing I wanted to do in Malaysia was go for a run outdoors. That’s yet another positive trait I learnt from my time on exchange, to stop being a treadmill junkie and actually go outside for …
Here’s Looking at You, Flower
Here are a couple of photos from my trip to Skansen with Andrea a couple of months ago. Skansen is a museum cum zoo located in Djurgarden. It was pretty deserted the day we went despite the awesome weather. I had hardly ever had alone …

F12/Fredsgatan 12
Someone once asked me, what would I like if I didn’t like food? I like a bunch of stuff, like the darkest shade of black or the smell of an old book with yellowed pages. As a kid, I had a love/fake hate relationship with …
Greece – Santorini
Continuing from the previous post on Athens we have made our way to Santorini. Needless to say, we’re a broken bunch of people after having woken up 6-7 times throughout the night and being forced into sleeping in various places and positions that are probably …
