Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream.

The Icehotel, its taken me a while to be able to blog about this one, even composing it in my head its hard to know what to say. Bare with me, there may be metaphors. The Icehotel had been something the rest of my trip formed around, something I'd planned for a bit more than a year really.

Its begining to look alot like Christmas

Alright so where were we. Gamla Stan, that's right.

The Tate, pieces of silver and how to kill time in London

I've been running round so much lately I don't even know how much time has passed. I shall break this up into a couple of blog entries coz there has been a bit to cover and I'd end up glossing over things.

London baby, yeah!!

Alright so here I am then. Officially landed in London where I'll be basing myself for the next however long.

How far will a mango?

There are days when you brunch at luxury hotels and watch people ski in shopping malls and there are days when you just need to chill out and play scene it, on those days you blog about mangoes.

Snow in the desert, in a mall.

I don't really want to go on about it so lets get this out of the way to begin with. Driving on the highways in the UAE freaks me out.

Frankly my dear I dont give a dhirum

Once when I was younger and still living in Elwood, I was standing on Acland St waiting for the 96 lightrail when I overheard a member of a small group of American tourists exclaim “Look honey a Safeway, lets see if its like back home”. In my head I mocked them of course, stupid Americans going all the way over to the other side of the world to look at supermarkets but today I kinda did the same thing.

The call to prayer and the screeching of breaks

Ah, Abu Dhabi airport. After a non stop flight half way across the world I felt about as welcome as kick to the head.

I'm stepping out for a moment, I may be some time..

Technically the title of that last entry was somewhat misleading, I was departing soon but for parts entirely known, I'm sorry I lied to you.
