  • I love the amount of city nature my city has. There are parks built as buffers between the neighborhoods, making it possible for a lot of people to go for a walk whenever they feel like it. I personally live just a minute’s walk from a huge park that I get to cross daily to go to work.
    Another thing that I like is how well everything is set up. Public busses drive almost exclusively on their own private roads, which means they’re never stuck in traffic. And bicycle paths are also separated from normal traffic as much as possible. I can get to the central train station with a 10 minute bicycle ride and never have to cycle on a main road.

    People in my country like to make fun of where I live, because it’s a ‘new’ (50 year old) city without any culture or soul. But most people are genuinely surprised at how nice it actually is when they’re here :)

    My 4 year old son once leaned too far backwards and fell over in one of our heavy wooden dining chairs. He was dazed but thankfully ok.
    But the back of the dining chair was completely broken.

    I managed to salvage it as a stool by sawing off the remains of the back. But whenever my kids now ask why we only have three dining chairs, I tell them in graphic detail about what happened the last time when someone was wobbling on their chair.
