Was at the office in Lund already at 8 am. Did not have time for almost anything else but meetings today. I had a plan to leave early after my last meeting at 1 pm. But I met some old friends from Tokyo that have returned to Sweden, and an important contact for one of the projects that my group is involved in.

I was 1.5 hours late when I got on the 169 bus from Lund to Malmö. It took 30 minutes or so until we landed at the Concert Hall in Malmö, just 10 minutes walk from the hotel.

Once I met with my mother and my brother Robert we went out for a very late lunch. And some window shopping.

We also had a walk in KungsträdgÃ¥rden (a garden) because my mother wanted to see the Japanese garden. It was… Bamboo and rocks. I don’t really know what was so Japanese about it but a sign said that the intention was that the rocks symbolized water, which is important in Japanese culture. Well, it is a land of islands so water may be important, but what has it to do with being Japanese?

I am probably too stupid to understand the point with the Japanese garden having something to do with Japan (now I want comments saying “NO, NO, NO, you are not too stupid”).

In the evening we had dinner at the hotel and then Robert and I went to the gym in the basement. Did a light workout and spent some time in the sauna.
