Three suns seem to hug the horizon in this otherworldly winterscape. But the evocative scene was captured during a February 3rd snowmobile exploration of the mountainous region around Abisko National Park, northern #sweden, planet Earth.

The two bright spots on either side of Earth's #sun are parhelia (singular parhelion), also known as mock suns or sun dogs. The parhelia are caused by hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the hazy atmosphere that reflect and refract sunlight. Commonly seen in #winter and at high latitudes, the bright parhelia lie along the visible 22 degree ice halo of the Sun.

Parhelia at Abisko ❄️☀️

Good morning

Yesterday, I had a parent-teacher meeting (Utvecklingssamtal) with my daughter Judy's new mentor, Jonas, who also teaches math. And wow, this was the most efficient and inspiring meeting I’ve ever attended!

💡 Straight to the point: Goals!
Jonas focused on Judy’s target high school:
What field do you want to study?
Which schools are on your list?
What’s the entry score?
Which subjects do you need to improve?
How can I, and other teachers help you?

3×3 - How to get an A in Math
Jonas introduced his 3×3 method
✔ 3 reasoning steps (depth): Don’t stop at the first answer. Show 2-3 logical steps to prove you truly understand the cause-effect.
✔ 3 perspectives (breadth): Solve problems from different angles, e.g., mathematical logic, real-world application, and data analysis.
He used an environmental impact of fuel cars, showing how high-level thinking works.
I nodded like I understood 😆, but later, I had to check my notes to get it fully!

The best part: self-confidence boost!
At the end, Jonas asked Judy to list 5 strengths about herself. She struggled after 4, so he added 2 more for her, including her social skills.
Then he said:
👉 “Do you know why I ask every student to do this?”
👉 “Because I want you to always remember your strengths.”
👉 “Whether introducing yourself at a new school or job interview in the future, speak about them with confidence.”
Wow. A teacher who doesn’t just focus on grades but helps kids believe in themselves. Jonas has only been their mentor for a few months, yet he knows every student so well!

Also… tall, great hair, warm handshake, soft-spoken but direct, logical yet uplifting… I might’ve developed a tiny teacher crush 🤣.

Education is not just about grades, it’s about goal setting and confidence. Big respect for this Swedish teacher! 👏

The best teacher-parent meeting ever

Enjoyed my first day of solo travel, the evenings are harder to fill on your own but still having a great time!

The nights are starting to get cold in Sweden

writing

From here we begin. This is the first sentence I heard that hurt my heart. As for the second word from the driver (Yalla Bina), it bandaged my heart to plant explosives in it that blew it into small pieces. The sound of the car engine exploded and we resorted to no one but him at that moment. Glory be to God, we stayed for an hour, but I felt the whole day being snatched from my hands. Suddenly, the car stuck to the ground at a very high speed and the bags were emptied from the car into another red one that looked like army cars in order for us to cross the curfew barrier safely.

We did not know that it would be stolen from us. After that, they forced us to ride in a large car that looked like gas cars and maybe bigger, but it was a car for the sheep. It was difficult to climb on it and we also did not see anything because of the large tarpaulin covering the car. We were like kidnapped people stealing air from each other until we almost lost it, but thanks to God Almighty, we reached the shore safely and also got on the boat safely. 

Here it began.  Nausea in the ship's hold with vomiting and other things until we saw the daylight shining branching out from the raging sea waters. The view was so beautiful that it convinced my exhausted rotting body to crawl out to see the source, which was the warm sun rising in a cold watery desert. However, I could not stand for long like the Titanic because my body and mind were fighting over the issue of my body's stability.
But after an hour, something new entered the fight called hunger. It was a new guest, but it was nervous. It always caused problems inside my stomach until I imprisoned it with another friend, but it is not new to the Arab people. Its name is drowsiness. And so on until the warm sun set and replaced itself with charming, bright stars without the sounds of butcher explosions. This is how I knew that they were the real stars, without a cloud to hide them or even smoke accumulating below them.
The galaxy in all its glory was above my head and the ship's engine was under my back, taking refuge from the bitter cold. I made the decision not to enter the ship's hold again. Morning came early without me caring about the dazzling view because of the feeling of hunger and constant nausea and the sound of the engine from below me. and the diesel spread everywhere on my clothes, that was all that mattered to me.
with time I got used to all of this, to the point that I got used to eating moldy bread. I didn’t find a single piece of clothing to hide behind from the bitter cold, nor even food that I could enjoy. I just hated everyone who had a hand in stealing my bag filled with everything my spoiled body desires, even the rusty water I got used to drinking.
Some of us resorted to surrendering, but throughout the trip I didn’t complain, but I kept repeating, “God is with the patient.”

I was alone with myself towards the warm engine, closed my eyes, and my thoughts and mind went to other places. On the third day, I was a pilot riding the waves of clouds. On the fourth day, I was a motorcyclist riding the waves of bumps. On the fifth day, I slept in the basement because my aunt had gotten better, and I loved to visit her downstairs, although I loved to stay upstairs to complete the tango tour, which was the most beautiful in my life.
Sometimes I imagine myself with my family eating a delicious meal at the oval table in the living room of our big house. I can almost hold the spoon, but my hand actually doesn’t move.
The nausea returned on the fifth day because of sleeping in the basement, along with a mixture of exhaustion, thirst, and many other things. As for the sixth day, it was like sleeping like a walnut in a jar of pickled eggplants because a boat carrying at least two hundred people arrived to unload all its passengers over our heads, until a poor woman’s leg broke as they threw her onto our boat like sheep.
But their arrival didn’t make me sad, rather I was very happy because most of them were camp residents. The most beautiful thing about this was that they offered us a bottle of cola upon their arrival, which was in the larger boat after a week of thirst.
A cold cola shuddered my veins, and this was necessary for me to prepare for the most difficult thing, which was sleeping sitting on the wet ground with the shuddering of salty water from the waves of the sea all night long. 

During the day, a sun that I had never seen closer to the skin than it. The sun embraced us with its rays that no clouds could block, and not even an ozone layer could cover us.  With her lukewarm wing we stayed until the afternoon for the Red Cross to come with us with their plane and ships out of mercy for us until the beach, they began to examine our skin in front of the news cameras maybe the scabies insect is hiding between our bodies but they did not find anything so they took us to the camp after they took pictures of us for more information while honoring us with lots of biscuits, milk and chocolate and in the morning after we slept well in clean beds and new clothes we completed our journey to came to Sweden and that is how my story would have ended,

I wish to add some effects but unfortunately it is not me who adds and writes but fate and also we went by trains to the border between Italy and Germany but luck was not on our side and I did not look until I saw in front of me the policemen we got in the police car like criminals and went to prison for a whole day they had searched us deeply and also despicably They also took pictures and made us sign for asylum in Germany. 
We continued our way to a ship that would take us from Germany to Sweden. We were afraid to be caught while entering the ship, but thank God, thanks to God, we did not have any problems. On the contrary, we were reassured and smiling until the ship docked on the Swedish shore. 

At that moment, there was a feeling of success after a long struggle. It was a real joy. The joy was complete, tears of joy were raining in front of us, It was the most beautiful moment that was told in front of me. I had been waiting for it since the first day on the boat. My eyes could not bear the enormous pressure with a little unclear vision. Maybe the sky was raining or something else. The important thing is that we saw 4D. 
We visited everyone who celebrated us as well as their hearts could express. We even toure Sweden hair by hair. Now we are sitting in a very, very beautiful hotel after we applied for asylum in Sweden, waiting for the rest of our loved ones to celebrate with us my birthday and the arrival of a beautiful free day in this amazing palace and every day you and I happy happy
.
I apologize for shortening the ending because there was not enough time and I thank
.
I thank everyone who was with us in this difficult ordeal and everyone who smiled at us as well and I thank everyone who knows that I thank him
And thank you.

Successful films are always made in Egypt, but the film I bought was very realistic and the excitement with a mixture of tension was on top of it even by the actors, but this time it was not acting but real heartbeats.

For there were many ! There will be many...
What matters is not how many there were but how many of them matter.

A forgotten gem

Hur funkar den här app

Hi hi. I've got a group of friends in the Uddevalla area that I visit several times a year, so I'm frequently somewhere between there and Gothenburg. I will be back in Sweden for a friends wedding end of June for a week and a half and thought it might be fun to extend my group of awesome friends up there. 

Big nerd for many things and love meeting new people.

Visiting Sweden, looking to connect with some new folks.

Hey, I’m open to making new friends from Sweden! Recently got into this Swedish series and I fell in love with the language.

New friends

I have wanted to move to sweden for years, ever since I visited in 2015 with my orchestra for the el sistema side by side project of that year! I'm currently training to be a luthier so I can get a job there and I know a few people in the classical music sphere there. It's a beautiful country with a gorgeous language, which I hope to learn soon!

#swedishlanguage #sweden

Hej vänner! I'm trying to learn Swedish and am looking for friends to practice with!
