I feel like Manhattan hasn’t changed much since last time I was here.
We went to Beauty & Essex for dinner, where they serve bubbly wine in the ladies powder room.
Ended the night at a speakeasy where we got served alcohol from teacups.

Mom and dad!
It’s my brother’s birthday tomorrow so the guys are putting up a party tent. It’s pretty clear who’s gonna be a project manager when he gets old…
Cheering on future stars
I don’t know which kid belongs to us, they all look the same.
Magnus Stryker
There’s a new baby in town! My goal is to get him in the Taiwanese ski team for the 2034 Winter Olympics.
Alright, enough with the babies, let’s bike down to Manhattan Beach.
Last day with the fam
Got a few more hours together with the family and trying to make the most of it.
Apparently if you ride the lift with my brother, you get candy! Kids never want to ride with me.
Back to the cafe for some afternoon baking!
Muskox
There’s a muskox center in Tännäs, just outside Funäsdalen so we booked a tour to go see them.
The guide went through a bunch of facts first that no one really wanted to listen to.
There’s Norway somewhere over there!
Around 35 wild ox used to hang on this mountain in the 70’s and 80’s before it got popular for tourist and local punks to take the snowcats and chase them around. If I got it right, those shenanigans are now illegal and they’re trying to re-establish the muskox in the area. There’s now 7 wild muskox in the area and The Muskox Center has 6 not so wild ox, every now and then they get babies and release animals out in the wild, which is pretty cool!
Saw some wild deer on the way home. This place is popping with wild animals!
