I was lucky enough to score some tickets for Kristina från Duvemåla and as the musical is played in Helsinki I got to celebrate 1st of May in my old hometown and meet some old friends as well! I must say that I really enjoyed the show, the scenography was amazing and the singers were all [...]

It’s a gigantic horse ass. Sometimes you just don’t know what they were thinking… I’m in Copenhagen. Have walked around a small part of the city, bought some beautiful things and taken a boat tour. It was a very nice day And best of all – it did not rain! Until now, now it’s pouring down. I [...]

I went to the library to borrow some magazines. And I thought it was my lucky day when they had all the latest issues of Damernas värld and Amelia. I quickly grabbed two copies of each, but it was then that I noticed… they all had little notes on them. And what did it say [...]

I’m totally fascinated by today’s teenage culture. How a whole generation can be turned on by the Japanese way of living. When you go through Kamppi/Kampen (a shopping mall) you see them everywhere. The girls dressed in lolita outfits and sporting Japanese hairstyles. The latter is also popular among boys and requires loads of hairspray. It’s [...]

So I must admit that I’m not a professional arts critic, the only art exhibitions I go to are free – there is the annual arts-night in Vasa when I visit Tikanoja’s and the new Kuntsi museum, and then it’s the occasional Friday when I have time to go to Tennispalatset and check out a [...]
