i have been lazy and NOT updating in a while. i have photos from easter! the påsk celebration! coloring eggs and traditional swedish food!
[yes lindt crew, all the european bunnies have bells!]
[påskmust is a soda that comes around for easter. it is the same soda drink at christmas, julmust, but any swede will argue they taste completely different. remember that drink, moxie? yea, its not so enjoyable :) ]
[but the boy loves it!]
yes, i will spill the beans. i have a swedish boyfriend. me? have a BOYFRIEND? what a shock, i know. we met in february and have been dating since. and decided to call it official. his name is tim dahl. and if you're reading it with an american accent, you cant say it right. i practice it with him, their family, my swedish kids, while i iron, in the shower, and its hopeless. TEEEEEEM dAAAUUUUUUhl. good luck. we pronounce it, "doll", hence the name Dolly. hes a good kid.
my travel plans are just crazy and filling up! i am getting very excited! the grand colette in europe tour!
next month i will travel to london for a few days, visiting my swedish friend cat ! we met in boston and became close friends.

my swedish tutor in boston, STIG is coming to stockholm in a few weeks also! we will plan to meet up in his travels though! VAD KUL!
i have booked tickets to SWITZERLAND to see a friend from photo school! she is working independently on photo projects and studying abroad. we have big plans to be photo nerds the entire week! -and also i WILL put my yodeling skills to use and climb a swiss mountain! i have been pretty much in LOVE with this photo she took while in switzerland shortly after photo school.

i am anticipating a POLAND excursion the following week.. and lisa peterson, my old roommate from boston, will arrive in SWEDEN to visit her swedish friends and we WILL take a boat to Finland! I MUST SEE FINLAND!
THEN, [this is fun!] my mother and little sister will come to stockholm! (for real!) they are going international with me! i am very proud of them! -since i have been dying to travel europe since i was 15, and the answer has always been NO! so its a victorious moment in the kulig family! i will also photograph emily for her senior photos! [senior photos are big when you graduation high school. she was very upset with me before i left that i wouldnt be able to take them. so i joked with her, "well, just come to sweden and ill do it!"...low and behold, we will ROCK the yearbook with beautiful backdrops of stockholm!]
to wrap up the summer, dolly and i will runaway to venice, italy. we are going to eat AMAZING pizza! we just booked a room right next to st marks sq! sadly, i have discovered my mothers side of the family is from the very southern part of italy; whereas venice is northern. i will think of the family roots in spirit! "CIN CIN!"

ahH!
germany will perhaps remain in my dreams as a dreary fall day. so we will save that for later.
in entertainment news, one of the last swedish bands i have yet to see has a show in stockholm coming up! our favorite, detektivbyrån is playing 20 may, and i will be there in all my glory! you should look them up, i would highly recommend it.
this past weekend i saw THE BUDDY HOLLY MUSICAL! ah! i could just scream! it was so amazing! everyone was dancing, and clapping along! it was all in swedish, but the songs in english, of course. i was excited of all that i could understand! buddy holly was played by a famous swedish singer, "Brolle," and he was just perfect for the part!
