Today is my father’s birthday. Grattis på födelsedagen, pappa! As I was going through the archives, I stumbled upon the diaries that my brother and sister kept during our 1986 Sahara journey. 1986 was the year that we moved from Tunisia (where we had been staying for two years) to Niger, the least developed country [...]

Yesterday, my sister Miriam Garvi wrote a post at the Vision Pioneers Blog that really touched me.

With my favourite Chinese restaurant located in Kano (Nigeria), it no more than right that my favourite sushibar should be located right here in Falkenberg (Sweden)! A few days after arriving, my father, Hanna and I had been shopping at Gekås, and coming back to Falkenberg, my father took us out for dinner. After nine [...]
