Study corner in my room at Sakura in Kyoto.
Why not here:
Ella's place, Salang Beach, Tioman Island, Malaysia.
Instead this is where I am:
Walkway from bus stop to my home
Same as above, flash on to show the size of the cold, white stuff that constantly whips my face...
It is dark almost 24 hours a day, constantly snowing and way below freezing temperature. Why do people live here, really? But it is pretty cool anyway to be back home and to be able meet friends and family. And sometimes the snow is actually beautiful too:

Anyway, I am back in Sweden and this will be the last post in this blog. I was picked up a week ago by my mother at Arlanda international airport, outside Stockholm. When I set out a little more than a year ago, the plan was to crew the Søren Larsen for about nine months, sailing around New Zealand and the South Pacific Ocean. Little did I know what a winding journey that lay ahead...
