International relations

Today, I will see people from Uppsala University where I studied pharmacy. A lot has happened since then. I was actively working at the Student organization, and I was particularly interested in international relations. Something that I grew up with and still am very interested in. That is actually why I started this blog. I have met many people throughout life and this is a way of staying in touch.

When I was on vacation, I finally had time to polish my nails. The business owner had a daughter who also is a pharmacist. Unfortunately, I got a headache when I visited USVI. I asked for the closest pharmacy and was recommended a shop 300 meters away. It was a very little grocery store. The man over the counter didn´t know any pharmacy. After a while, we found out that Paracetamol is the same as Acetaminophen. Two tablets (à 500 mg) in a sachet was 1$ (USD). My headache disappeared, and it was a new experience of getting medicine over the counter.

At Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (USVI), I saw two planes from the American Air Force. A few days later after my return to Sweden, we became members of NATO. Two American planes from the American Airforce flew over Uppsala where I used to study. Life has changed in Sweden. We are a little bit safer, and together with other countries, we are working for peace and stability in the world.

Stay tuned and stay safe 🐾
