Reading

This week's recommended articles and reports are now due! Rather a mixed bunch of links today, I believe...;-)

Here is on ecological shopping (mostly groceries) in Stockholm, focusing on a theme market from last weekend, but with some ideas for the future.

This is a simple Q&A (in Swedish, from Svenska Dagbladet) earlier this week on the fighting taking place in Lebanon. And (same source) the Swedish development aid minister on supporting Palestine, together with a more pessimistic view on the situation in Gaza, called "culture of death". (And Alan Johnston has been missing for 74 days...)

For once, the Arab press (Ahram Weekly) writes on the political developments in Turkey. I'm not sure what the message or lesson are supposed to be from it, though. Read also a mini-guide about Erzerum, a place in north-east Turkey I still haven't made it to.

A BBC view from inside Bahrain, may interest you.

A topic I haven't covered at all today is Iran, but at least Swedish media have featured several inside articles. recently. Maybe I'll get around to collecting some of those.
