A few years ago, the Swedish government decided a new structure for Swedish citizens pension. The main part is based on the income you’ve earned, in my case at the moment 69 280 SEK. It feels like quite a lot, since I just have been working during the summers this far, anyway, this would, depending [...]

A few years ago, in high school in Visby, me and some classmates had a task to set up and film the story about Tartuffe, written in the 17th century by the French writer Moliere. It was quite fun, but we hadn’t prepared it very well. In the group we had decided that everyone should [...]

Filed under Interview, Sweden by svenenglund
So, finally here, my “first” blogpost. This was initially meant to be posted somewhere around beginning or middle of August 2010, a few weeks before I left to China. I had kind of longed for it, felt the potential, but in some way it had also also frightened me, and it still does, especially after I came [...]
