  • Treehotel

    Feeling adventurous but don't know where to go? Try taking a gander at Sweden's Treehotel.

  • [Day 1, April 29th Friday]

    It took 14 hours to arrive in Gothenburg. At the time, there was only one thing on my mind, “How do I find my luggage?” You’re probably thinking, “Welp, Peter, you just follow the Baggage signs.” Indeed you would be correct. However, thanks to brilliant planning by…
  • [On Sweden: The Prelude]

    [Preface to the Preface] I had many ideas on how I would tell you about my trip to Sweden.

The shows had a great way of presenting…
  • What IS This?: Meat Fad At Its Best

    As you can see from the title, my first response to this unknown food was exactly how it was conveyed through those three words: confusion, skepticism, disgust, and curiosity.

  • Discrimination of people with ASD in Sweden

    Today after the EU programmes and declarations, about stop the discrimination and the call to change attitudes towards the people with Neuropsychiatric diagnosis, we would been more accepted and would have a bigger chance to get the same right to an equal education at school, or same right to get a…
  • America Can Really Screw Up Movies

    I'm a huge movie goer. but I'm not the type to just go see the big Hollywood films. I actually have seen a very large amount of independent films as well. And FYI, most independents are a lot better because they aren't screwed over by Hollywood. Here's my example. Many people have been talkin…
