Its been a while, I know, and I’ve been up to a few things that I’ve not really written about here. The most significant of which is becoming a father, more on that later but lets take a little look further back than that first.
Maybe I should pick up where I left off, the last proper entries I made here I was just heading off for a new life in Sweden, to be joined shortly by my new (at that time) partner. Things got off to a shaky start staying in the Kista Ibis, but we eventually got an apartment at the Memory Hotel, then in the nearby suburb of Sollentuna.
Sweden is a fantastic country, the people are pragmatic and not afraid of real work, the history is extensively documented and binds the country together, it is a part of Europe without losing the things that make it Sweden. Travel is endemic in the culture, but so is a sense of identity with home community, many people travel, living abroad for months or years, only to return to their home town later in life.
Less fantastic (albeit fantasy) was the Sony Ericsson approach to project planning, they seemed like a company running to keep up without having any idea which direction they should be running in.
I posted many of the pictures from our adventures in Stockholm, so I’m not going to repeat what I said there – nearly 600 entries all already available for your browsing pleasure – instead, I’m aiming to talk a little about some of the things about these places which cannot be captured by the camera.
