Thanks to the beautiful resund bridge I was able to hop on a train and arrive in Lund no more than an hour later. I was to meet up with Lina whom along with a friend surfed my couch back in 2006. I messaged her to say what time I would arrive b http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-268028.html Irsquom tempted to call this the preBerlin blog. Yep I know that was the title two blogs ago then you saw the blog about Berlin. But Irsquom going back March 18th...so perhaps it is the preBerlin blog. 61514 Again. So SINCE last Berlin trip its been an absolute whirlwind of madness. I think my todo lists are secretly mating and producing offspring as I seem to have about 5 sheets of http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-247735.html Malm Red Hawks vs. Nybro whateverLast days have been interesting On Wednesday I have gone to an ice hockey match with Svenja's Mentor group. They had their trip planned out and told us about it me and Hannes thought it sounded like a good idea so we went ahead and invited ourselves to the match. No one seemed to mind and as it turned out I actually knew half the mentor group from the internati http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-240358.html Before heading to Berlin I thought I better make a quick postnewyearspost. I got back from the UK and Germany and ended up getting straight to work on the final two weeks of our toiletsignswitching project that I discussed before. Wersquove officially named it the Ladies and Mens Room Mixup LMRM and spent the first week back finalizing the prototype and testing it out at the club. It wen http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-239143.html So today on the 9th of January I have finally arrived in Lund. The trip by train was really comfortable except for the passport check in the Schengen zone which seemed a bit useless since they let the boy without any papers or reliable story of what he was doing in Denmark in anyway. First 6 hours I sat all alone and watched Disney's Alladin read. Then when I started sleeping I was woke u http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-236466.html What has the month of December brought A lot of work Although not the paying kind so thatrsquos unfortunate though I doubt I would have had time Christmas in Sweden and Denmark is done nicely they light up the city streets Christmas trees are in plazas everywhere and we were singing Swedish English and French Christmas carols Jul songs at the preschool. Irsquove since downloaded a Sw http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-227821.html See I told you Irsquod update it after the weekend and in this case its a good idea This week is going to be insane we have school from 94 nearly every day and the one day we didnrsquot I was working at the preschool yesterday. So the weekend went like this Friday night project based outing to a club Saturday night helping on the barge with a concert and Sunday night Harry Potter. F http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-223552.html So its 138am. Irsquom getting fairly used to lsquothis timersquo. Its my catching up time. It usually lasts anywhere from 14 hours. Irsquove just paused my work on a paper that Irsquom writing since Irsquove been researching and writing for about 3 hours and havenrsquot even hammered out a full page. This is disturbing but maybe it means the beginning of a great paper because of th http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-221628.html My hands smell like garlic. Yes I know you wanted to know that about my travels. Itrsquos important not really but I was cutting garlic earlier for my dinner tonight was traditional Swedish food mos and kottebulle mashed potatoes and meatballs yep. I was lazy but I spent nearly an hour and a half cooking eggplant napoleon last night so... itrsquos a trade off. Anyway point is itrsquo http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-214591.html This past week has been full of E. Not the drug that would have made it far more interesting Irsquom sure but Enthusiastically Exhausting Exasperating Emptying Enjoyably etc. See it even ended with an lsquoersquo. Its been crazy. I finally slept last night due to a great attempt on my part to relax before bed and the acceptance that my wonderful friend Magda has gone on to Poland b http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-208890.html Copenhagen WeekendThis weekend was a bunch of events Again we barely stayed in our own city we will explore ithellipone day. Wersquove lived here two full weeks now and have not yet spent a weekend here D This weekend was my friend Ryrsquos birthday in Copenhagen so Amanda and I left on Saturday morning and went to be tourists before the party.

I guess its all part http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-203261.html Last week was hectic. Letrsquos recap. Amanda and I moved in on Sunday. The toilet exploded Sunday night. Oh have I not mentioned that yet Letrsquos start at the beginning. We began the move in on Sunday while our landlord was still moving out. As this was the case and there was decidedly no ldquohissrdquo elevator at our apartment hauling all our stuff up the stairs was superfun. Co http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-203260.html First Week SurvivalIts Sunday. We are going to be moving into our new apartment in Lund in about an hour and a half. httpen.wikipedia.orgwikiLund Until then Irsquom chilling on Karinrsquos lovely leather couch which is super comfortable and writing this entry of the crazyiness of the past few days.

Mom I had a frantic morning thinking because of the summer solstice we were an hour latter then what actually was...actually thats how mom has been for the past 3 mornings...She hasnt gotten out of her we need to go... rushrushrush mode like back home but she'll knock it soon. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-172276.html This will have to be quick and short with no photos I'm on a computer at the train station... So where did I leave off... on Fri night we took a night train to Malmo. It was actually pretty decent Cheap and even came with a free bottle of water. Fortunately I showered at the hostel before leaving Fri night because there was no shower onboard. We were in a little tiny room with 2 bunkbeds with http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-165123.html soon will post here... been too lazy http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-123351.html Hello allBack in Sweden again after some time in Germany Switzerland and the UK. I now have a residency permit so I don't have to spend my time here in Sweden lurking in the shadows and running from the immigration officers like in The Craic... well that's an exaggeration but it is good news to be allowed here officially.I'll write about Sweden in this entry the rest of my travels will be c http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-91978.html We flew into Copenhagen early Sunday afternoon and immediately got passage for a 30minute train ride across the Oresund into Sweden. This is a narrow strait of water connecting the North Sea to the Baltic. When we arrived in Lund we settled into our hotel and grabbed a quick lunch from a corner stand before meeting up with the rest of the class for a quick overview of the upcoming week. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-60093.html De var galet bra de franska rapparna p Mejeriet ikvll och allt var helt perfekt men jag var redan ver bron.

It's a cosy little town in the Southern part of Sweden. Since it's a small little town there is nothing much to do in the town centre other than shop at H M and dincho. I stay in Sparta in a Swedish corridor meaning that most of my corridor mates are Swedish. This gives me ample opportunity to interact with the locals. Although the wavelength is qui http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Sweden/Skane/Lund/blog-36667.html HelloI arrived in Copenhagen took the train to Malmo Hanna and Calle picked me up at the train station and we went back to their place in Lund. I was SO very happy to see them both and to be in a home. We had a great time visiting and catching up.
