Adjö and thanks for all the fish...

Hejsan allihopa. Eftersom min chef tycker att min svenska är 'åt skogen', tänkte jag att skriva resten på Engelska (som vanlig).

It's been a very *very* long time since my previous post and I've thought about  leaving this blog behind as it is. After reading the first lines of my little brothers' Blog (tetsgotochattanooga.blogspot.com) I have decided to bring this Blog to full closure with one more post. 
As the interested reader or even follower may have noticed, this Blog was originally designed to keep track of my one year experience as an exchange student in Uppsala about 70 km north of Stockholm.
Since this its start out gradually became more and more personal and in retrospect that was not a very smart move.
It's now my 6th year in Sweden and I am still here, huh - writing it like this makes me feel really old all of a sudden.
I am still living in Uppsala (although ive moved 4 times since my last post) but I've graduated in the meantime and am now in pursuit of a PhD in astroparticle physics, searching for gamma rays from Galaxy clusters (the largest virialized structures in our universe). Suffice to say it's actually a lot of fun but very demanding and pretty intense - who would have guessed...
This is partially the reason for not blogging and/or little presence in 'da bloggosphere'. The other being a change in my private life which I will keep to myself and those that are close to me.
Since this blog was about the North and its fascinations I will bring closure with my most recent picture of the Northern lights - as seen in Uppsala last Sunday. Thanks for reading/commenting and/or following. So long and thanks for all the fish!
Perhaps see you on some other Blog some other time - some other place...

Welcome to my very first blog...

... I'll send you a warm and nice hello and welcome to my very first blog. I want to invite you to explore "my world" while reading and / or posting. The title may not as clear to everybody as it should. This blog is about the time I'm going to spend in Sweden. I will be there from September this year up to June next year. And, in this blog I see a way to write down my experiences.

I will try to write only in english, allthough my mother tongue is german. But of course in Sweden I want to learn Swedish so, from time to time, I will post something in swedish too.

Please, let me know, how you like this blog and what are you interested in while reading.

So far...
