Non violence sculpture and hydroponics
Since I work extra in the bookstore I, yesterday, saw poetry books by Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd, the man behind the non violence sculpture outside the UN headquarter in New York.

The thing is that there’s copies of that sculpture all over the world. One of the copies is in Malmö, Sweden, by the central station. I have recently been to Malmö. Traveled there by train*, but I missed the sculpture. I would have liked to see it.
With the risk of being all over the place in one entry, I was in Malmö for a course. Among the people I meet there was a guy who has written a book about hydroponics and another guy who wanted to grow wasabi in hydroponics. Real wasabi supply cost as much as truffle, and I have online seen a title claiming truffle has a higher price per kg than cocaine. So why not try to grow wasabi?
*Of course by train, is it true that “flygskam” (flying shame) is like “smorgasbord” and “ombudsman”, Swedish words that have gone global?
