Are you interested in astronomy?

The Swedish newspapers can often write about lots of shit, but this one made me smile! I read in the Swedish news, Expressen, that a truck full of shit has been in an traffic accident just outside Stockholm. One of the people intervied in the areas said
        "It smells like shit!"
That is just brilliant and it made me smile! Some friends from Skåne (southern part of Sweden) was quick to comment on FaceBook
        "Can it seriously smell like more shit in Stockholm?!"
And the war has begun! :D

Sometimes, small and silly stuff can make us smile. This one made me smile! Here's the article from Expressen (Swedish):
Expressen - Släp med bajs har vält på E4 - långa köer utanför Stockholm

Yestarday it was the "Kulturnatten" (Night of Culture) in Uppsala. I think it's nice with those street parties! People are in a good mood, there are lots of things going on.


"Stora torget" (Big square) in Uppsala


JALT and I first went to a lecture about happiness and meditation. I think the lecture as okey, but JALT wasn't especially impressed. After that we went to get, I think it was, Shiatsu massage. I was happy to get massage, but JALT thought it was weird.

After that we went to a resturant to try different Tofu's. We ended up having dinner there, it was sooooo gooooood! Yummie! We went to meet ASSG for a chat and then we went back home, before the teenagers started their party. It was a nice and relaxed day!

So, today I've taken it a bit easy. It's sunday after all. I've helped my mom with her second citizen proposal (you can write to the county staff about your ideas to make things better).

About Uppsala University

Uppsala University (Swedish: Uppsala Universitet) is a research university in Uppsala, Sweden. Founded as early as 1477, it is the oldest such institution in the Nordic countries, and for centuries has been one of Europe's most renowned seats of learning.

One of the main centres of higher education in Europe, the university rose to pronounced significance during the rise of Sweden as a Great Power at the end of the 16th century and was then given a relative financial stability with the large donation of King Gustavus Adolphus in the early 17th century. Uppsala also has an important historical place in Swedish national culture, identity and for the Swedish establishment: in historiography, literature, politics, and music. Many aspects of Swedish academic culture in general, such as the white student cap, originated in Uppsala. It shares some peculiarities, such as the student nation system, with Lund University and the University of Helsinki.

Uppsala belongs to the Coimbra Group of European universities. The university has nine faculties distributed over three 'disciplinary domains'. It has about 40,000 students (20 000 full-time eq.), and about 2,000 doctoral students. It has a teaching staff of 4,000 (part-time and full-time) out of a total of 6,000 employees. Of its annual turnover of around 4.3 billion SEK (approx. 715 million USD), approximately 60% goes to graduate studies and research.

Architecturally, Uppsala University has traditionally had a strong presence in the area around the cathedral on the western side of the River Fyris. Despite some more contemporary building developments further away from the centre, Uppsala's historic centre continues to be dominated by the presence of the university.
