Barbecue, International Style
When you get a large mix of people from tons of random countries together for a barbecue, you get a pretty wide consensus as to what to cook and how to cook it! But most of all, you get food that is soooooooooooo gooooooooooooooood.
Never seen this before! Put some bananas on the grill and once they are black and the skin bubbles, they are done. No effort and delicious:
Wrap peices of sweet potato in foil and put them in the coals:
Red peppers with eggs & bacon, Argentinian style:
A full grill:
I contributed some asparagus and was surprised that many had never tried it before:
Barbecue comes complete with mate:
Grilled pineapple:
Hobo packs (my other contribution), consisting of sliced potatoes, red onions, garlic, and some spices, and some cuts of beef:

Jakriborg, Sweden
Recently I took a small bicycle trip outside of Lund to one of the neighboring cities (village would be a more appropriate word). Once you hit the outskirts of town, everything changes rapidly to farmland. There are small towns in all directions from Lund, so many bicycle trips are possible. The great thing is that even once you leave town, there are bicycle paths along the highway and through the farm areas.
This trip I decided to go to Jakriborg. Jakriborg in fact was only created in the 90s, and by no means can be considered a typical small Swedish town. Two brothers created it based on their vision of what a city should be like. No cars allowed, no motorcycles, just bicycles and walking. Of course, it is small enough to walk from one end to another in 10 minutes or less, so it isn't much of a problem. It is surrounded by wall on one side, and farms on the other. A very strange place indeed.

No cars or motorcycles:
Main Plaza:
City wall:
Just outside Lund:
A park just before leaving Lund:
Leaving Lund:
This is what happens when someones bicycle breaks:
A random bench with a view of farms on either side, odd location:
