FENGHUANG - AN ANCIENT EXPERIENCE?

In the middle of Hunan Province in the middle of China, there is a whole town that is UNESCO-marked for being the same all these years, I think it is over 400 or so. When planning the trip at home, this seemed like a wonderful little adventure out of our usual comfort zones with beautiful scenery and the authentic chinese feeling we feared we weren't going to experience in Beijing and bigger cities.

STREET ART OF GOTHENBURG

In the last couple of years, we've enjoyed street art around the world as a highlight of our trip. Just take Lennon Wall in Prague or the mosaic wall in Hanoi as an example. So when we started to explore our own city, we started seeing street art everywhere.

Why not photopraph it then, we figured, and off we went.

GOTHENBURGS BREAKFASTS: Kafé Vanilj Review

We love to eat big breakfast here in Sweden, at least according to Ula in the 2005 major-failiure movie The Producers. One of our favorite things to do in our apartment is to have long morning-breakfasts scrolling around on our computers, making the morning proceed for longer than lunchtime.

The most important part of these morning are each others company hah no. It's of course coffee. Sitting with a cup of coffee playing the Sims 2 while Jonathan is looking at Yogcast playing Civilisation (a.k.a perfect nerd-morning) is plain heaven.

But sometimes we socialize - no, really, it's true. And this morning I decided to take heaven outside of our home and into the city. I met up with Ida for trying out Kafe Vanilj's hotel breakfast.

HOW TO SURVIVE A LONGER TRIP WITH SOMEONE

Before Asia 2.0, we had some trips on our record. We'd been in London when we both had a lot of money saved and not a lot of things they should cover. We'd been to Prague for six days just taking every day as it comes. We'd been to Bali and been so happy we were reunited that the rest of the world wasn't really important.

But for all of those trips, we were away for maximum two weeks. How were we supposed to tackle the trials that comes with being together 24-7, for 60 days? How were we going to not drive each other crazy or start fights over differences in opinions?

Communication, we figured. We have to talk this through.
So we did. And did again. And did some more. And we came up with a couple of questions that everyone that's going on a longer journey with someone should ask each other.

These little 'relationship-exercises' are better performed in the company of a bottle of wine, as all exercises ever are.
