Violin: Small but Mighty!

“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?”

– Albert Einstein

Can you imagine a day without music? No music on the TV, the radio, in a movie, in the car, at a sporting event, at a religious service…NO MUSIC! This is simply unimaginable, and why musical instruments are so important- they bring color and sound to our lives. Musical instruments come in all shapes and sizes, either big or small. The small, but mighty violin is the smallest member of the string family. It is one of those instruments with which you will improve, even if it’s just a bit, every time you practice. For all bright young musicians, Asian Youth Orchestra (AYOHK) brings exceptional opportunities for study and performance on international platform. This award-winning orchestra not only familiarizes you with classical music but also replenishes your soul with the melodies every time a string is touched!

Pure Nordic Pork from Flodins: Nordic Seasons

In our modern world, we have almost forgotten that life used to completely revolve farming, fishing and hunting. In other words, the gathering of food! Flodins farmers know this all too well, having raised generation after generation growing and producing premium quality pork since 1913. These families are deeply rooted in the old farming traditions and way of life. Farming communities have their own rhythms, based on the landscape around them and the passing of the seasons. The working day has its designated time for work, food and rest. The cold can be very cold, not to mention dark and windy, but the seasons are often more mild than you would expect.
