a stroll at Stockholm

Last September 3-6, I was in Stockholm to make a poster presentation at Sweden-Japan Joint Environment Colloquium on "Sustainability of Natural Environment".

Two whole days were spent on: attending the colloquium itself, visiting Hammarby Sjostad, visiting the Royal Institute of technology and making a short presentation at EcoSanRes division of Stockholm Environment Institute. I had only one night and one morning to check what's on the area. On both instances, I had a stroll at Stockholm's OLD TOWN. I've seen the night view and morning view (right word?) of the place. I also had a walk around the city center. It's just a small part of Stockholm that I saw, but it left a vivid picture on my mind!

SIMPLY AWESOME---that's how I can describe it. It seems that it is one of the places where you'll have a good happy family life, especially staying at Hammarby Sjostad.

Other parts of Sweden must be worth a visit too!

on working out...update...

it's been 4 months since my last post and that was on working out..i stopped yoga after several sessions..and rather enjoyed the fresh summer air while jogging (not regular though). in addition to jogging, i am also into tennis now! been dying to do this years ago but just tried this summer. my regular playmates - Nikol (Canada), Ho (Cambodia), Richard (Philippines), Ali (Indonesia). thanks to Ali for teaching us the basics!

making the most out of the rest of the summer and the coming autumn(i hope not that cold to play outdoor)!

but i never really lost weight despite of these..hehehe..anyways, who cares about loosing weight! all i want is to enjoy...
