日常中文（Daily Chinese）

Where is the bathroom?  卫生间在哪里？

Jag pratar om Skandinaviens alkoholkultur och erfarenheter jag haft med alkohol och Sverige. Jag pratar om dokumentären "Jävla Pappa" som sänds på svt nu. 

Niklas, en deprimerad ung man, och hans alkoholiserade far, Leif, står vilsna inför livet och sin relation. De gör som män alltid gör när de inte kan prata om sina känslor. De försöker bygga något. Ganska snart går det åt helvete, både med relationen och den husbil de försöker bygga, och de tvingas konfrontera sina känslor. Niklas skildrar en komplicerad familjerelation med både ömhet och humor.

Jag rekommenderar att ni tittar på den:
