Hmm, where to start. Alright, well this last week was fairly slow, at least the first half was. Hanna took me in to town for me to get a sim-card for my cell phone. So that was really nice. And my host mother bought me unlimited texting, which was nice as well. So now I've got a fully functional cell phone, which is good. I did some more sailing again, this time I was in the class for younger kids, 12-17 age group I think. I was in the adult class before. At the class I met a girl that goes to the same school as me, so that was nice to meet her. The next day I went on a bike ride around the area, by my self, with out knowing where I was going, right before it was about to rain. So yeah, I ended up following a bike path that just goes in a big circle around the surrounding area. Got to go through a lot of the area, houses, park, downtown, through the forest, next to the train tracks. It was really cool. Ended up taking about an hour or so, and after about fifteen-twenty minutes it started to rain, luckily I brought my rain coat, my legs still got pretty wet though.
I haven't taken a lot of pictures of the area yet, mostly because I'm lazy, but also I'm not sure if there's anymore AA batteries in the house, and I haven't asked if there are. I miss my old camera...
School started up Thursday, well kinda, it was more of an introduction. I met all the teachers and, that's about it... Everything was in English, so I didn't really know what was said most of the day, I guess the teacher forgot to translate for me. I did meet all my other class mates, they were all really nice. They translated things for me when I asked. Which was good, because the next day, Friday, was kind of a 'game day'. All the classes went together to different games, e.g building a tower out of marshmallows and dry spaghetti. My class was really glad to have me because no one there had ever made a building out of stuff like that. I've been doing it since I was like, four or five, so I knew what I was doing. Consequently our class won that game with a tower of 94cm. By the end of the school day there were a few kids that were talking to me, who had also invited me to sit at the same lunch table to talk to me. So that was really nice.
Besides that I haven't really done anything else. Oh, so some stuff over here that have stood out. Construction workers actually work here. Like, the whole time they're on the job, there might be one guy taking a short break while the rest work, so its pretty outstanding compared to back home. Shopping carts have a lock on them that you need to pay to unlock them, you then get your money back when you return them, so its a really cool way of keeping them from spreading all over the place. All the soda here is made with real sugar, so its pretty awesome.
So yeah, after writing this I've discovered that I still don't like to write. Regardless of how well I know the subject. But yeah, oh well.
Hej Då!
