Europe » Sweden » Skåne County » Lund January 20th 2006

It has been 10 days since I arrived in Lund. 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 quite different, it's still interesting to talk to them. My corridor mates are very helpful and nice and assisted me in settling down. I have finally began to settle down in my room. I rearranged my furniture and stuck some photos on the wall. I love my room. It's big and I have my own private bathroom. Moreover, it's ... read more

Europe » Sweden » Stockholm County » Stockholm January 17th 2006

yes, i am a total loser who started this blog and then did nothing with it. However, its not my fault, i couldn't access the internet from my computer at kati's house and for some reason my usb drive didnt want to register between the computers (probably a problem between macs and pcs--who knows). Anyway, I am in Stockholm now. I managed to navigate myself to the hotel so that's good. I move in tomorrow at 8:30. My hotel is about a two minute drive from my flat, but I couldn't really see an easy (and walkable) way. Meaning I didn't really see a good side walk, so I'm probably getting a cab there (i am a horrible person). Oh well. I'm definately anxious and nervous as well as really excited. I have mixed feelings right ... read more

Europe » Sweden January 13th 2006

This is my first journal i wrote about a month ago, ill start from here. first of all sofe and i are very cool... pretty dam cold actually. We arrived in Stockholm early in the morning on the 27th dec, we then drove together to the small town of Laxå, popped in at sofes grandmothers then went to the "summerhouse" near the lake, (where sfes mum and dad live about 10mins drive past Laxå). we are being absolutely spoilt here, (sometimes i wonder that God never gets tired of Blessing me and i gotta stop and shake my head). yeah sweden is an awesome place, i get along with everyone really well from the beginning (although i felt my stomach was doin backflips when i walked through those airport doors). Sofes fam have made me feel ... read more

Europe » Sweden » Stockholm County » Stockholm January 5th 2006

Just got back from having a coffee with a friend. He recommended my to open up a journal on the Web for my trip. I was not convinced. I don't exactly consider myself as a member of the "IT generation".. But look at me. Here I am just about to post my very first blog ever. Let's see if I can keep it up during my time in Chile and Southamerica.... read more

Europe » Sweden » Jönköping County » Jönköping December 27th 2005

After having finally spent the past weeks to sort out which flights to use it was now time to make my mind up on how to get to Kastrup airport. It may seem like the smallest of concerns yet this simple transfer has a tendency to become drawn out, due to the limited availability of connecting flights or other means of transportation. Basically it boiled down to two options; jumping on and off trains southward or going north to grab a connecting flight to Copenhagen from Stockholm (There is also a theoretical third option. My hometown Jönköping is blessed with an "international" airport, but opting for the flight to Copenhagen would mean arriving at 8 am for an onward flight in the late evening. Thanks, but no thanks). A connecting flight from Stockholm was my first ... read more
