Hello everyone! This morning, I was once again back in the civilized part of the world. And also the expensive part. A cup of coffee costs about the price for a good hotel in Nepal. (Oo) But then again, it’s gonna be nice to be back in Sweden in a couple of days and see everyone! I must say that …

First, to calm some of our more worried readers, we will not go by land through Balochistan. After considering the most recent advice from the Pakistani tourist agency, it would seem too risky to try it. The prices of Iran Airlines were also quite resonable, so on Wednesday at 2 p.m. the plane leaves for Teheran. Now for some of …

Having just seen one of India’s most famous attractions, the great and beautiful Taj Mahal, I’m really looking forward to moving on to Pakistan tomorrow. It’s been an interesting two weeks here but even though the food is really good, I must say India is a bit too dirty, too messy and much too loud for my taste. Apart from …

I didn’t know what India would be like when coming to Nepal, but crossing over the border from Tibet the air got warmer, more vibrant and the smell of curry was flowing at us. It also got a lot more dirty and noisy. I thought Nepal would be more like Tibet, a rocky desert with nomad population, but here was …

It’s been some quite intensive days the last week and as always when traveling it takes some time to relax and start enjoying everything there is to see. Right now we are in Xining and, except the toilets, everything is great. When traveling west from Beijing, passing through Taijuan, Xi’an and Lanzhou, people just got friendlier, the weather better (colder …

Hi everyone! Even though I’ve been here in China before, I had forgotten the immense time it takes to settle the price for anything and everything you want to buy. I watched yesterday as a couple of french guys tried to buy a pair of shoes for Y450, and they really wanted them for that price, but finally settled for …

Arriving in Korea, I got a shock by the food! I’ve been eating japanese food for too long, and I guess my taste buds have grown back. The food here is so spicy! But, it’s tasty though and in a couple of days I’ll be able to handle it. The trip to Korea took me through Hiroshima and Shimonoseki in …

And so, the time has come to leave Japan and return home. It will be a long trip going through all Asia, and I’ll hopefully come home in mid October in one piece. It’s with mixed feelings I leave here; some things I won’t miss – the humidity, the bureaucracy and not being able to get a big steak. (I …

Hej på er allihopa! Här kommer en liten uppdatering om vad som hänt här i Japan den senaste tiden! Först och främst har besökarna från Sverige börjat trilla in, och det är så roligt att träffa er igen! Tiden går som bekant snabbt, men att jag varit borta snart ett år känns när jag återser er. Gunnar och Moster Lena …

Det mesta är bra här i Tokyo. Jag verkar ha klarat av alla kurser, och har nu ett par veckors ledighet från skolan att se fram emot. I en av kurserna var examineringen att lämna in en tiosidig sammanfattning av vad jag lärt mig, och efter att ha skrivit på den några dar gick jag till professorn för att lämna …
