KX comes to visit

Where do I start from? I've fallen behind, and things snowball very quickly. I shall start from the most recent.

KX came to visit last weekend and I bunked her in. Brought her around Gothenburg, after which during the weekend we went to Copenhagen together.

We went to Haga (yeah, again haha) for lunch and fika (afternoon tea/coffee break), and I think this cafe, Cafe Husaren, has got to be my favourite hangout here in Gothenburg.

Note the interior of the cafe

Large selection of pastries, cookies, cakes and pies

There are many of these kind of cafes in Haga, the old town of Gothenburg. Swedes like to have their fika, that's why. And I like it too! In between 2-3 hours of lesson, there is also a 20minute fika.

Yuki from Japan joined us for lunch too


It was buffet lunch for SGD 14.00 and the chicken drumstick was really good. Probably also because we seldom eat meat like this when we cook ourselves. All of them had 3 drumsticks; I had two only, and I thought I could eat a lot for a girl! You should see the rest. They're like, smaller-sized than I am but they sure can eat a lot.

Went shopping with KX 'cos she wanted to get a windbreaker to complement with her down jacket so that she is well-equipped to go to Kiruna in December. And I thought, yeah I should probably prepare myself too. Going to Kiruna is like preparing for battle!

Ended up getting the exact same windbreaker/ski jacket as KX haha! It's not a down (which is thicker), but I need a windbreaker anyway, so I decided to buy it, and this was on sale.

Being in Sweden really makes one complacent about the security, because here, at least in Gothenburg, I can just leave my bag lying around while I try on the clothes. I'm sure in Eastern Europe or other cities, it is definitely not as safe.

KX decided to cook aglio olio for us for dinner! Haha I decided to use her recipe from then on, and now I can cook a mean aglio olio as well!


It's good to stay alone, but once a while it feels nice to have company as while. Cooking together and watching HK dramas together HAHA.
