We flew into Copenhagen and headed across to Malmo for our Flatmates wedding. It was a beautiful sunny day and they were married at the local gardens in Malmo by a lake. ... read more

Spent a day in the Swedish city of Malmo with Farrin, it's just a 30 min train ride from Copenhagen and then you're in Sweden! The train crosses a huge bridge 500 meters long. Its pretty impressive. We walked through some beautiful parks looking for the "the best preserved renaissance castle in Europe". We found it and it was very unimpressive, obviously there aren't many renaissance castles in Europe to compare it to. We walked through a new development in the harbour area with some very impressive modern apartment's, really cool architecture. Spent an hour searching the city for meatballs to complete our Swedish experience but couldn't find any so had Chinese noodles instead. We met up with Alex's cousin Sara for some Indian food and then drove across to her farm near Kivik. ... read more

So I guess this is one of the few times before I leave that I have time to actually write a post here. I really don't know where to start. This is probably one of the most crazy adventures that I have ever "signed up for". Allthough, I hope that it's just the beginning and that many more amazing experiences will come from it. I guess I don't have that much more to say for now, other than that I will miss my friends but just so you know I am only a short msgs or email away from you! Only four more days to hang in there... over and out... read more

... och på den sjunde dagen la Gud ner sina lersaker för att resa iväg med sin backpack Och för de som undrar vad man kan ha i en backpack så kan följande avslöjas: Den är en stor väska som innehåller två medelstora väskor, en stor vattentätt kompressionsväska, två små vattentätta påsor (in case of Tsunami), en kameraväska, fem olikfärgade små bags, en vattenflaska, en knivfodral, en liten väska som man fäster på den stora väska och flera vanliga plastpåsar. Jag är fortfarande inte säker på vad jag ska fylla dem med. Rutten blir följande: Malmö (tåg) - Stockholm (färja) - Helsinki (buss) - Sankt Petersburg (tåg) - Moskva (trans-sibiriska) - Ullan Baatar - Beijing. Hela resan tar ungefär en halvmånad, med halva tiden på tåget, vilket påminner mig att kanske ta med en kudde ... read more

Us new arrivals wanted to check out the nearby city of Lund, Swedens third-largest city and only fifteen minutes by train. Since most of us still didn't have any classes or they could still be skipped ;) we decided we would go today. Originally it was me, Svenja and Hannes but later on me and Svenja ran into Georg (a Swiss guy living in a Swedish corridor in this building) while we were heading to our coordinator (who wasn't there, we forgot the IO was closed). We invited him and he joined as well (and skipped a class!). So off we went, probably my first visit to downtown Lund in daylight. I noticed it was more pitoresque than I thought so I started taking loads of pictures. I explained to Hannes, Svenja and Georg that pictures ... read more

Cause I bet I've been in more. Now equipped with a ghetto-fabulous, have-more-pages-added passport, the real travel has begun. But I left off in Belgium, so I'll work my way back. The night of the second day in Belgium was interesting, to say the least. We went to a Congolese restaurant out on one of the metro lines on Brussels. It took a little while to find, because for all it's benefits, lonely planet does not give good directions. When we finally found the street with all the restaurants on it, we picked one that looked as inviting as possible, and sat down. The only problem with this plan was that we don't speak whatever language was predominately spoken (I don't know what language is spoken in the Congo), and my passable French only got us ... read more

Getting Settled Day 2 and 3 of Malmo were...exahusting! We got pretty much everything set up to live here, minus an apartment of course, that’s today (Day 4’s) work. On Wednesday we went around town and stopped by a ton of places, including 3 job centres (if you’re looking for a job in Malmo try www.ams.se its all in Swedish but it has a ton of job links, and updates with new jobs every day). We went to school for the first time, which is K3, standing for Culture, Communication and Kanst (art) of course, the Swedish version of those words are Kultur, Kommunikation, and Kanst. Thus, K3. We met with the International Advisor, who was surprisingly Irish - as a side note, everyone’s English here is slightly different, a lot of people have British accents ... read more

Day 1 in Malmo Hello all, welcome to the Malmo Blog! I'll try to update it as much as possible but I will be spending a bit of time on Facebook as well so if you have an account there, check me out there! To begin the story... both Amanda and I did not feel, even as we were landing in Sweden, that this journey was beginning. We felt that it started the moment we saw a viking ship (which we assume was a tourist attraction, but nonetheless, a viking ship) and then got excited (probably aided by the tremendous amount of espresso in our bodies) by the concept of going to school here. Malmo is a beautiful city, with the whole 'cobblestone street experience' and has the same coffee culture as Vancouver, if not more ... read more
