Jonathan's former student Michael, who lives in Hamburg, Germany, came to visit us with his family - his wife and their two beautiful boys - for a few days.
Today, Michael had a business meeting in Malmö, Sweden in the morning, so we all decided to go there and spend the day in Malmö. Malmö is a third-largest city in Sweden, and it is only a short 40 minute ride on the train from Copenhagen. It is a beautiful city, and just like Copenhagen, it is very walkable.
We got there around lunch time, and all we did was have lunch, and go to the playground, and before we knew it, it was time to head back to Copenhagen.

| A very nice park in Malmo. |

| Amazing tomatoes in the market. |
I really like the ultra-modern, steel and glass structure of Malmo station, but the platform of the station is particularly cool. On the wall of the platform, you see these series of moving landscapes - it feels like you are sitting in a train and looking out the window while the train is moving. Turns our that this a permanent video installation by the artist Tania Ruiz Guierrez, showing landscapes from around the world. According to a New York Times article I found, apparently you can take the train every day for five years and not see the same scene! Very creative and fun!
