I met Martin, a teacher with the Kolkata/Stockholm student exchange at a cafe near his school...it had a small deli area & a blackboard with daily specials...I've been cooking at Maria's so this was my first meal out - delicious baked salmon, fresh potato salad with mustard & greens & mild creme fresh...

Brännkyrka Gymnasium is a historic building in Stockholm, with unique mid-century features like a spiraling staircase & bright open common meeting space. |
GREAT view of downtown from the staff office window...bright blue sky after a rather grey week...
I met with the team of ten students who will be journeying to Kolkata in January 2012. BKG is unique - it has almost 70% of its students speaking a language other than Swedish as their primary language...two of the students traveling are Indian & one young woman even is from Kolkata! We spent over an hour talking about how West Bengal will be different than Stockholm. I'll be returning to visit with them after their trip....also was asked, after talking to them about living in India, to return to talk about being American, too. We all laughed!
