Sven frân Sverige, a young backpacker

Holland, Amsterdam,
07 0ct. 2010.

This is Sven from Sweden, a young backpacker who I met at the Anne Frank House today while selling my Mandala games, not that he bought any games but was surely interested in my little one-man Mandala business, believing it to be a good way to travel around the world and support your hotel and food expenses, have enough money left over to take public transport to your next destination instead of having to do auto-stop as he had done from Malmö, Sweden which took him five days...

He told me he had decided to make a world tour that, as far as he was concerned might as well takes his whole life, no interest whatsoever to return to his native Sweden but instead try to make it all the way to Japan and beyond...having no Pengar - money in Swedish - though was quite the problem, little knowledge of the Queen`s English even worse since it stops him effectively from getting jobs abroad...

No wonder he was so interested in my games...but then even selling Mandala games on non-Swedish speaking foreign soil takes a certain degree of English at least....
