Back in Thailand

Ok ok I know...it has been ages since I last posted ANYTHING! But you know, I do have a life....
Anyways, here I am again in Thailand and I figured I should do some blogging and add some pics, but this visit is very official in characther and I am not getting more than few hours sleep per night....thus no time for neither blogging nor pics - which means this one will be short!

In brief - being programme director of the exchange programme between Thailand and Sweden means I make an official visit to the groups of youth at present in Thailand. Together with officials fromthe Ministry of interior I have been to Cha Am and trained our fascilitators, visited the youth in Ratchaburi and in Chiang Mai. Ratchaburi is very close to Pathum Thani, where I was last year, and thus also similar in its environment. Chiang Mai was very different, I love the hills and the people in the village of Maewin!

Visiting the youth has been very inspiring, i feel such joy seeing them in their experience like this and feel very proud of their efforts! They are amazing, putting themselves into this for 6 months and there are several inspiring projects being created on the theme of sustainable entrepreneurship...

Well, I have more stories but they will have to wait until the weekend when I am back from Loei! Now I have a few hours to sleep - they come pick me up from the hotel at 7 to go to the airport to fly to Loei, where we stay for 2 nights. If you cant find it on the map look for Udon Thani and then it is close to there....

Stockholm Highlights

Have had this idea for some time now and finally this summer I got it going. Basically it is a blog on my favourite sites in Stockholm. For english speaking it might not work too well as it is all in swedish, but click on the pictures and you will get something out of it.

Check out this link to see what I am talking about:

Recovering.... I hope!

People are asking me what I am doing these days....geez....I just got out of an intense job, can I do some recovering before I have to make plans? :) The past days I have been sleeping, watching 24, eating, going for walks, the gym at least 1 hour a day and just being alone. Have met some friends, which has been real nice - but I am yet again reminded of how busy people are here in this city....it is borderline ridiculous!

My plan right now is this; recover, go to the norwegian summerschool on sunday, return to Stockholm a few days before I fly to the US on july 17th. Visit family and friends there until end of august - recover some more! Throughout all of this time, regain some energy and inspiration to work with my creative ideas, do some job research and make some decisions. Maybe.... all I know is I will be back in Stockholm througout the month of september...after that I have no clue....which is what will be figured out over the next few months.

The Simpsons? Oh yeah...Borna took that one the other evening when a few of us got together and went to the movies. The rest of them were too chicken to sit next to Homer! Sweden man.....it does something to people an they dont know how to have fun! Hahahaha....
