ARTIPELAG

Artipelag - as the name suggests- is an art gallery on one of the island of archipelago. The building is set in the nature with such a sense that one sometimes does not know where the art/architecture ends and nature begins. Simply (almost) a perfect symbiosis of nature and human intervention.

Artipelag - ako uz sam nazov napoveda- je galeria umenia na jednom z ostrovov archipelaga. Budova je zasadena do prirody s takym citom, ze jeden niekedy nevie kde konci umenie/ architektura a zacina priroda. Proste (takmer) super symbioza prirody a ludskeho zasahu.

 Swedes (and I) love playing games - or at least I see it so. So when we saw that there was an outdoor game/quiz prepared for the visitors (you needed to answer different questions which you could find sticked to the trees somewhere in forest --you got a map), we knew that was something for us (and maaany other Swedish families) // Svedi zboznuju hry (a ja tiez) - alebo aspon podla mna. Cize ked sme zistili, ze si v muzeu mozeme zobrat malu mapku a papier s otazkami, na ktore odpovede boli pripevnene na stromy v lese, vedeli sme, ze to je nieco pre nas (a mnohych dalsich svedov).

A Mikaelov brat to potom po niekolkych poldecakoch a mojitach odbicykloval domov - celkom sa tej nasej kulture rychlo poducil (lebo Svedi pravidla neporusuju)

hrame zolika a pijeme jahodove mojito - pozdravujeme oci a este raz dakujeme za zasoby// playing cards and drinking strawberry mojitos - thanks to my dad for the drink supplies

ROYAL WEDDING

Last Saturday, the prince of Sweden was getting married. And we were there, waiting in front of the royal palace to see the newly-weds coming out of the church.

Since my grandma is a big fan of royal families I can´t wait to tell her everything about the princess´s dresses, king´s speech and decorations.

...

Minulá sobota sa niesla v znamení kráľovskej svadby. A samozrejme, že my sme tam nemohli chýbať. Čakajúc pred kráľovským palácom sme sa dočkali novomanželov a kedže moja babka je veľká fanynka kráľoských rodín, už sa neviem dočkať kedy jej porozprávam všetko o šatách princezien, kráľovom príhovore či výzdobe. 

 guests are coming//hostia prichádzajú

 dokonca aj vlastný bus mali// they even had their own bus

 who is this queen, who knows? // no kto vie ktorá královná to je?

 some years ago Mikael also was part of the royal guard troops// pár rokov dozadu bol aj Mikael člen kráľovskej stráže
