Read more: 5 Things Living in Sweden Have Taught MeThis post is a part of the writing project called Stories from the West that I started with Christa. We’re both currently living on the west coasts (Christa in the US, me in Sweden), hence the name of the project. We want to share our experiences living as immigrants, and every month we’ll write a post each with…

For Ocha and Dhita
I can’t believe two of my good friends got married today, only a few hours apart. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were struggling with the always-exhausting Production Engineering exams, arguing about the right way to solve drilling problems, and inducing ourselves with some caffeine to stay awake for at least one…

Arthur’s Seat
I just came back from a trip to Edinburgh, and I want to start the post with my favorite place there, Arthur’s Seat. I dreaded the weather all the way there, afraid it would be raining so much I wouldn’t be able to hike. So I decided that whenever it wasn’t raining, I would go…

York
As an admirer of old towns (medieval towns, to be more specific), I’d known that I had to visit York someday. I’d been longing to go to York since I came here, but it isn’t that close that I could make an impulsive trip like I did to Winchester and Bournemouth. So after what seemed like…

The Beginning of 2014
It’s been such a whirlwind for the past few weeks. When the Christmas break started, I let myself relax for a bit and thought there would be 3 weeks before I have to slave myself. In the name of my love for Harry Potter, I made a day trip to London to have the studio…

Christmas This Year
Christmas this year is a whole new experience for me. For one thing, this is the first time I celebrate it far away from my family. I used to take it for granted, coming home only one or two days before the Christmas day, but now that I’m alone I can’t stop wishing I…

A Step Out of Reality, Into the Imagination
I’m a big fan of Harry Potter, as probably everybody else in the world has claimed themselves to be. I started reading it when I was ten, sometimes wanted to smack my sister if she read one chapter for far too long (we decided to read it one chapter each, as no one was patient…

It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas
December is my second-favorite month after October, and Christmas is the sole reason for that. There are many reasons to be depressed in December. The deadlines, the grey sky, the cold weather, and so on and so forth. But then there comes Christmas to save the gloom by making it all looks merry and festive,…

The First Three Months
Three months ago, I arrived in this city at 10 pm, exhausted after a long flight (with a heavy backpack and a duffel bag to be carried and a super-heavy luggage to be dragged around). I couldn’t sleep at all during the flight, which made me sleepless for 36 hours, more or less. I checked…

Winchester
Two weeks ago, I finally made a day trip to Winchester. I’d wanted to go there for such a long time, but somehow my weekends were always filled with something. A week before that, I wanted to go there to see the bonfire night, but finally chose to go to London instead to see my…
