2025 didn’t really go as I hoped, it’s not been a bad year as such, but it’s been frustrating at times. I thought moving back home and getting a degree was going to help me find better jobs, but courtesy of how the world is at the moment, it seems like it did nothing to…
And it’s 2025…
Sometimes time flies and it’s apparently 2025… We were back in Taiwan and packed up all our belongings in the autumn of last year, which means I’m unlikely to update all the Taiwan related stuff all that often, since I won’t be keeping track of what changes in Taiwan. The site will still be around…
Almost the end of 2023
It’s almost the end of 2023 and this year has gone insanely fast in some ways and insanely slow in other. B got her residence permit around the end of October and is now with me in Sweden. It’s a bit crowded at the moment, but until we’ve gotten everything sorted out when it comes…
The past couple of years…
I haven’t written much here for the past couple of years, mostly because I’ve been busy with other things. I ended up moving back to Sweden in the second half of 2022 and went back to school, because why not. Well, it was more about it being hard to find a decent job, to a…
Jästa pannkakor / Yeast leavened pancakes
I figured I’d throw up an English translation of a recipe I found on Wikibooks for southern Swedish (Scanian?) yeast leavened pancakes. These take a while to make, mostly due to the time it takes for the batter to rise, but they’re by far the best pancakes I’ve ever made or eaten. They end up…
Bakeries in Taipei
When I moved to Taiwan over a decade ago, finding good bread was hard. The first loaf of bread I bought was in a supermarket and although it looked quite normal, it ended up being filled with rousong, which is an experience you might not want to have. As such. I’ve thrown together a list…
That yearly post…
Well, I don’t give this blog as much time and attention as I should, but I figured I should throw up an update, since what can go wrong, it’s 2020 and the world seems to try to implode on itself. Ended up spending nearly 5.5 months in Sweden this year, as I went to Europe…
Three years have flown past…
Yes, I’m still around if you’re wondering. I try to keep things up to date in terms of information on the site, although I’m no longer write restaurant reviews here, they go on Google maps these days. That said, I’ve updated the reviews I have written here with current information, as at least a few…
And I’m back…
Well, things didn’t work as planned and I’m back in Taiwan since a couple of months ago. It’s good to be back and things are looking up in terms of work for a change. I guess it’s time to update things here a bit, but I’m quite swamped with work at the moment. The site…
And another year and change has gone by…
Time flies, that’s for sure. It’s been over 8.5 years since I arrived in Taiwan and it’s gotten to that point where it’s time to move on. I’ve had a good time in Taiwan and I’ll miss the little green island, but most of all I’ll miss all the friends I’ve made here. It’s never…
