Sj-ljud och örnar (SWE)

Det har hänt något med mina sj-ljud; de kryper längre och längre ner i halsen. Jag tror jag håller på att förvandlas till schweizare. Jag är som en örn i en hönsgård som sakta men säkert lär mig att picka korn. När jag var liten hade jag en bok om en örn som hette Örjan. Han var flygrädd. Det är jag med.

Alltså: Det passar mig att bo i en hönsgård.

Question for FI-Anna

Anna: From a feminist point of view; is this correct?

The photo was taken on a parking spot in Solothurn.

My Switzerland: Ticino

Ticino.

Cousin Johanna stayed here for 6 busy days and we discovered beautiful Thun and beautiful Ticino, the Italian part of the country. Word of the week: Kärringaflös and Frauensnus.

Lots of Johannas

There are a lot of Johannas in my life right now. My cousin Johanna has been here - and my new co-worker / roomie is named Johanna. Our first mission was to find a man who could build our new piece of furniture. Mission failed.

Åskrädsla (SWE)

Häromdagen, när det åskade, såg jag en hund som låg under en parkbänk och darrade. Hundens matte stod bredvid och försökte få sin hund att flytta på sig. Det gick inte så bra. Hunden måste varit åskrädd. Då tänkte jag på min Selma där hemma.

Nu är min kusin här. Hon är också åskrädd. Det är september, 30 grader varmt och jag har börjat lyssna på julsånger.

Country of correctness

My soulmate Nina just moved in to her huge 15 square meter flat on Plattenstrasse in Zurich and we managed to organize a dinner there on Saturday. The Swede who used to live there before her told her that the flat key also works for the apartment two floors below! (She found that out a very late night...) Welcome to Country of Correctness. Switzerland is just a fake. I guess that the landord, just like everyone else in this country, is too stingy to give everyone different locks and probably he/she just assumes that noone in this very structured country is confused enough to walk into the wrong flat.

And I am so tired of Swiss fake mentality right now.

Welcome to Switzerland

I. live. in. the. most. beautiful. country. in. the. world.

My favourite Dinhobl

My favourite Dinhobl is Michi, my host father Franz's twin brother. Ida, wir freuen uns immer so, wenn du da bist. Wir freuen uns alle.

Gulasch soup

Gulasch soup is on the menu every year. It is served in a former "laundry pot".

11th year Lindgrub party

I am spoilt with two families. Every year my Austrian family organizes an "August party" on their farm out on the countryside in southern Low Austria. Together with 100 fellow Austrians I celebrated the 11th year Lindgrub party last weekend.
