38th parallel: Stockholm, Stockholm...

The park in front of the appartment we used to live!

Fabulous to be back in beautiful Stockholm! The weather this past week hasn’t made it easy to walk around in the city as I planned. It doesn't look we'll get a change for even more snow is expected for the coming days.

Internet connection is periodic for I constantly need to be at the hotel and re-enter the codes (different every day and long……. Korea’s telecom companies, please let go of your protective behavior….!!!)

Sunday morning and I'm trying to Skype with my Dad & Mom!

Nevertheless, it has been wonderful to meet with our children, their spouses and some of our friends.

In Wasa stan with Valerie & Claes!

In Hägersten with Vincent & Jenna

At Gärdet with Denise & Dan

In Bagermossen at Peter & Brigitta and also with Jonas & Ena

I also had the possibility to write quite some and now I even have fulfilled the job I was requested to do.

Last Friday and Saturday I had the posibility to interact with the new Delegates for the NNSC and their families. In preparation for their move to South Korea, the group has been receiving input from different speakers for the past week.

Friday evening I had the pleasure of meeting all adults just before the giving brief held at the ROK Embassy.

Afterwards we enjoyed a wonderful dinner hosted by the Ambassador and his wife at their residence.

Early Saturday we travelled through a winter wonderland to Livgardet for us "oldies" to give some more information. I was requested to talk about the spouses and their childrens experiences but also to give input regarding what to think of and tips to make the new families transition to Yongsan Base and Seoul the best possible.
