wcers are so exotic



Kevin Dyrland spent fall semester in Ă–stersund, Sweden, Ryanairing it across the continent and studying silly things like economic policy. But...he clearly took a little bit of WC spirit with him on his travels, as evidenced by this excerpt from his travel blog:

I also read some Hemingway while over here, in a craving for good English. My first encounter with the man–and I think Hemingway had dementia by the time he wrote it, because his ‘oldman’ which is probably intrepreted as a personification of himself at that age, repeats himself in a delirious state. Anyways, it was good. I’d also recommend Billy Joel’s ‘Downeaster Alexa’ if you want a shorter version of what the sea is about, without the whole ‘death’ thing.

Welcome back. Read more of Kevin's Scandinavian adventures here.
