When we got back from our crazy Hallasan hike, we went straight to bed and slept for 12 hours. The following day our legs and feet were hurting like hell, and none of us could walk more than a few steps.

Spam (the canned meat, not the junk emails) never really made it big in Denmark, but in many Asian countries, spam got a big breakthrough after World War II.
Last week, I was invited to come by McGettigan’s in JLT to try some of the items on their new menu. McGettigan’s is an international chain of Irish pubs, and they have several branches in Dubai. They are mostly known for cheap beer and a friendly, laid-back atmosphere, refreshingly different from the typical glitter-and-glam that dominates the nightlife scene in Dubai.
Yesterday, I was in Satwa to look for a good tailor, and since you cannot visit Satwa without visiting the Pakistani restaurant Ravi, I sat down for Pakistani lunch before I started my tailor hunt.
I have been writing about beauty before, but to get more consistency, I have decided to write one blog post a month about the beauty products I am currently using, and what I think about them. Here are the products that made it to my bathroom shelf in September:

Last month I took the dogs for a walk at Trelde Næs. It is a wonderful area with a small stretch of beach squeezed in between the sea and the forest, and the dogs love it out there.
Yesterday, Trine and I had dinner with my friend and golf buddy Peter. He has been in Jylland for the last couple of months, to finish writing his book about Dubai, but he is moving to Copenhagen in September, so we wanted to see him one last time before he is leaving.
When I am seeing Alan and Mr. Pheap from A.N.D., we often meet over vegan food. None of us are vegans, but the (few) plant-based restaurants in Phnom Penh are very nice and provides excellent alternatives to the city’s carnivore lunch spots.
The Japanese ume-fruit is a kind of plum or apricot that is pickled with sea salt and eaten as a sour, salty snack, umeboshi. The first time I tried umeboshi was when I studied in Sweden and shared a dorm kitchen with a Japanese exchange student, Mari from Sapporo. One evening, she pulled out a little bag and offered me to try this very special snack, that she had brought with her from Japan.
