All these airports

Feels like I have been in the air for ages already; Thursday-Friday I am flying Washington DC to Amsterdam to Stockholm to Helsinki. Right now I am in Amsterdam, and the reason I am continuing to Helsinki is an informal weekend meeting with a group of “Young European Leaders”. Our group (15 people) participated in an International Visitor Leadership Program to the US during the Presidential Elections of 2004, and amazingly enough we still keep in touch. Sure, the three week trip to the US in 2004 was great, and the group was great, and that we had a reunion in London in 2005 was great, and that we are meeting again is amazing. Will be loads of fun, and thanks for organizing Riina!

And as y’all know, the US Elections ended on a much more positive note than in 2004. I am very tired but can recommend some reading: The Progress Report goes right into whether this election was a triumph of the center or not; the DLC certainly thinks so. And the TNR already has a few interesting articles.

Hej Eric,
Jag har länkat till två artiklar som du skrivit om Reinfeldt och republikanerna och om moderaternas biståndspolitik. www.granskaborgarna.se

Hejsan!
Jag undrar om jag skulle kunna intervjua dig om den svenska kulturen, då du levt utanför Sverige i ett tag, om du mött några kulturkrockar etc.
Detta är enbart en skoluppgift, så det är inget som kommer stå i tidningar, eller kommer ta mycket av din tid. Bara lite intressant att höra om hur andcra uppfattar den svenska kulturen.
