I spent the day in central London yesterday. 26 degrees and not a cloud in the sky, couldn’t be better. I bought a Swedish football shirt to really feel the excitement for the world cup and to annoy English people when we win against them on the 20th. Spent an hour or two in Soho square just looking at people and enjoying the nice weather.  

I find it fascinating thinking about where people are going and what they might be doing. Is that guy a serial killer? Suicidal? Late for work?
Just fun looking at people and see the variety of styles, looks and attitudes that you see, especially around Soho.

It’s a shame that there’s no real park culture in Pitea, guess it has to do with the amount of nature per person. In a city like London it’s all estates and concrete which makes the occasional park a refuge from the stress and a way for people to relax and be at one with the limited amount of nature given to the people of London. In Pitea however, the amount of nature “given” to people is overwhelming and because of that people don’t appreciate it as much. I really enjoy coming back home, especially for the summers, and just go swimming in a lake, play beach volleyball or riding your bike. Small and easy things that the people of Pitea take for granted but the people of London can’t possibly do.
They are two completely different worlds but I wouldn’t change one for the other. They are both brilliant and by now a part of who I am and how I live and appreciate what is around me.

Did the obligatory trip past the Forbidden Planet but for some reason I never buy anything…so many things I cannot possess.
Highlight of the day (as always when I’m anywhere remotely close to central London) was the Vegan buffet on Greek Street. If only these people would share the secret of how to make Soya meat….damn. I’d like to think that my cooking skills are pretty good but it all crumbles underneath me when I eat here. Not the fact that it’s a taste sensation but more that it’s something completely different that I couldn’t do.
