The Going Away Party

Okay, so, last night we had our going away party. We stayed for about 5 hours. Lots of little 5 year old kids (friends of my sister) were there. There were lots of food and drink. It was pretty awesome. It's still hard to believe that I have a week and a half left before DC.

My Favorite Foods

Hello. Today I'm going to be writing about my favorite foods. American or foreign. Here we go.

1. Anything seafood ( Scallops, fish, etc. Especially raw oysters.)
2. Elderflower juice. It's bloody amazing.
3. Hawaiian pizza.Pineapples and ham are amazing on a pizza.
4. Steak. Self explanatory.
5. Venison.


Note: List is subject to change just about every day. I forfet foods, and try new ones.
And, sorry about the lack of quality on postings. Hopefully there will be more Post-worthy content when we arrive in DC.

American and Foreign Holidays

Okay, so today I'll be writing about an American holiday I will continue to celebrate in another country, and a foreign holidaat seems interesting. Here we go.

An American holiday I will continue to celebrate is Christmas.  It would remind me of other Christmases that I celebrated in America. I would also get free stuff. Christmas has always been my favorite Holiday, and I still will celebrate it overseas.

An interesting foreign holiday that I will probably celebrate is Swedish Midsummer. Lots of food, and drink. The entire day is basically dedicated to eating drinking and dancing. It's overall an amazing Holiday. If you don't know much about it, here is  a video: Midsummer!

So that's all I have to say for today. Cheers.

Top 5 Places

Hello. Today, I will be talking about places I would like to go, and places I wouldn't. I'll give five of each.


Places I do want to go:
1. Sweden. Amazing climaate, nature and wildlife. Mostly nice people.
2. Morocco. Looks pretty awesome to go to open air markets and stuff. I want to try monkey brains.
3. Brazil. Awesome rain forests and cool animals.
4. Africa. Safaris!
5. Australia. I want to see the Bush.

Places I do not:
1. Russia. Too bland and cold. KB agents.
2. Cuba. We would be closely monitered and spied on.
3. Mexico. Drug wars and such.



I only have 3 places I don't want to go. That's all. Thank you for reading!

Dallas: Advantages, and Disadvantages.

Hello. My name is Alex. I am American, and I was born in Dallas, Texas. I've stayed there my entire life. Until now. February of 2013, I will be departing for a foreign country. We will be in DC by September of 2012. We will have 4 months of training, and then depart for another country. This blog will mostly be about my viewpoints of recent events, and where we're going throughout the years. Before I begin about what I will miss about Dallas, here is a little bit of information about me. I am American, yet I look up to Sweden. Sweden is a distant life goal for me. My blog background is Stockholm Sweden. I'm not bashing America, but there are many things about Sweden that are superior to America. But, this is a foreign service blog. I'm not going to go into detail. Anyways, that's basically me. Up until the time of arrival into DC, I won't have daily posts. Instead, I'll have occasional links about music, pictures or interesting videos. Right now, I'm going to talk about Dallas. What I'll miss, and what I didn't like. Here we go. First, things I won't miss.I have only one. I hated the heat. Badly. In the Summer, most of the time it's above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Horrible heat. Anyways, that's the only thing I dislike about Dallas. I would miss my friends, and I would have to relearn an entire Neighborhood. Sorry, if that was short. I don't feel like going into detail right now.
