Cold day

A picture from my living room. Can you see that everything is white with frost?

Shopping in Copenhagen

I went to the outlet and bought some stuff I've wanted for a looooong time. And then we went to a department store. I was just looking at pots & pans, but I ended up buying one. It was a lot of expensive shopping, but I'm pretty happy. :)

Shopping

I bought a new candle stand. It was a bit expensive, but I'll just make it a X'mas present for myself.

A christmas present from my grandmother. I love the colors!

Christmas tree at a friend's house. It's a real tree!

Santa Claus

At the cafe at work.

More X'mas trees

The apartment behind the tree was also lit up. I wouldn't want to live in that one. Too much light all through the night...

Christmas at home

My little christmas tree and the hearts' candle holder.

!!

Santa Claus is trying to get in from the window! :-)

Christmas market

There are christmas markets everywhere now. I went to a one at Jakriborg to take some pictures. It was really cold...

Party!

I had a dinner party at my house. This is part of the food I cooked. I also made some gnocchi. It was a fun night. :-)

Tivoli

I went to Tivoli in Copenhagen to see the Christmas decorations there. It was pretty, but not as "Christmas" as I thought.

Snow again

It was raining in the morning, but now it's snowing!

X'mas trees

X'mas trees in Malmö.

X'mas decorations

A friend gave me this pretty present. X'mas is approaching!

IKEA

All the stores are Christmas now. I'm wondering if I should buy a big Christmas tree...

Snow

A lot more snow than I expected.

Ice & Snow!

I'm glad I have winter tires on my car.

Morning sky

It's usually cloudy or rainy, but sometimes we see beautiful skies like this. This photo was taken from my living room window.

Candlelight dinner

Having dinner at a friend's house. Food is great, it's fun to talk with friends, and candlelight is cozy :)

Japanese food!

A new Japanese food store opened in the center of Malmö. Now we can buy konnyaku!

November

It gets dark at 16:30 now. The Turning Torso after dark.

Concert hall

I went to a concert in Malmö. The concert hall was nicer than I thought. It looks kind of boring on the outside.

Cold

It was even colder than this. Went down to 2 degrees on my way home from work.

Cats

Our pumpkin

The back side of our jack-o-lantern. If you think this is scary, you're one of us!!

Halloween

Our jack-o-lantern.

We had a Halloween party at work. Lots of spooky faces!

Sunset

It was cloudy and gloomy all day, but the sunset was beautiful.

Autumn leaves

I was hoping to get nice colorful pictures, but it looked more like winter rather than autumn.

Singstar

I was invited to a birthday party. And we played Singstar, a karaoke game. This game is so popular here because there are no karaoke boxes. I should take all my Swedish friends to karaoke if they visit Japan. They will definitely love it.

Hearts :)

I found this cute candle holder at a "hearts shop" in Göteborg.

Göteborg again

Visiting the second largest city again.

Swedish cuisine

Having dinner at an extremely expensive restaurant! I have never had such good food in Sweden.

Sony Ericsson!

I finally got a mug I wanted for a long time! :)

Shrimp gratin

Tonight's dinner. It's actually easy to make, and delicious!

Teatro alla Scala

Great music in a great opera house! This theater is fabulous inside. I love the atmosphere. And the concert was good too.

Milano

The fancy shopping street in Milano. Of the 4 cities I visited in Italy, I think this is the place I want to live the most.

Burano island

A small island close to Venezia. The houses were really colorful and cute. It reminded me of Alsace.

Venezia

This place is amazing, in many ways. It would be perfect if there weren't so many tourists. :-P

Ponte Vecchio

Old bridge. Used to be full of butchers, but now it's all jewelry shops.

Firenze

The city of Firenze. It has a more relaxed atmosphere than Rome.

Trevi

The famous fountain in Rome. It was really really crowded with lots of tourists.
