get me out of stocks

so i exaggerate. it's hardly a bad place to be. enjoying the exchange lifestyle and sullen swedishrants aside, i'm really glad to be in stockholm for a few months.

but it's been over a month since i got here and that insatiatiable wanderlust has begun to bubble up yet again. just in time for a parental visit (them) and a desperate, "can we please go somewhere???" (me) so the parentals obliged. they're not too hot on stocks either so it didn't take much convincing. in fact, i even had to persuade them to spend a day here for me to show them around my adopted home. they were quite happy to in-and-out of arlanda!

so they get in bright and early tomorrow morning and we're off to bergen 2h later. going to the fjords and i take all credit for organising a norway*in*a*nutshell at a fraction of the price (thanks, turt!) then we're making our way from bergen back to oslo by train, bus and boat. they leave from arlanda (atas airport for real airlines) wednesday afternoon and i leave from skavsta (budget airport) wednesday night :) just enough time for me to do laundry and re-pack.

will be in lisbon and porto till the following tuesday, which also means that for the next fortnight or so, i don't have to cook :) words cannot express how delighted the prospect makes me.

the blogging hiatus begins! photos and posts when i get back.

bye!

p/s if you're bored and/or indulgent in my absence (oh how i presume), you might want to skim the archives. go on, knock yourself out.
