Writing is too annoying....
So yeah! Last few weeks have been pretty fun I have to say! Sweden is just overall really nice. The general atmosphere is just nice and peaceful. Nothing too much different has really happened, I did get to go sailing this Saturday in a skiff. Forgot my camera for pictures though. It was really cool, its a small two man boat with a really big main sail. Goes nice and fast. So sailed around in that for a while, and we capsized it a few times for fun-ish. (Dry suits are really nice to have in very cold water).
Going to Denmark tomorrow for a few days! There's another exchange student living there who is from Mexico, so it will be nice to get some of the at home feeling of having them around. We're just gonna hang out for a bit, don't really know what we're going to do, pretty spontaneous action this is, but that's what being an exchange student is all about. Doing something new everyday and jumping on board with every opportunity.
I'll see about trying to put a longer post up when I get back, writing is just such a pain for me! Heh.
Hej Då!

Long Time no Write
Well, Sweden is still nice.
Nothing much has really changed the last two weeks. Still doing the same procedure throughout the week. Language is still coming along slowly, but I can tell that I'm getting better at reading/listening but speaking it is still hard due to my small vocabulary knowledge.
Last weekend just had a lazy time. Didn't do anything at all except watch movies. Good to have those types of days sometimes. Did a zombie movie marathon. 'Twas fun. That was all for those days.
This weekend however was the Rotary District Conference, which is a large meeting for all of the Rotary members in the extended area that I live in. It was held in Karlskrona, town 3.5 hour train ride away on the other coast from me. At the meeting all of us exchange students, three others from the USA, four from Australia, and one from New Zealand, were supposed to put on a little show for everybody. So what we did was sold raffle tickets throughout the day too all the members for a cookbook that we put together. It included recipes from every continent. There were about 200 some people at the meeting, and we sold 463 at about $1.50 a ticket. It was really successful and we had all the founds go to the Rotary charity for helping to end Polio.
While there we were able to go to a famous Navel base and a car museum. The Naval base was really cool. Got to see the Swedish stealth boat which apparently is an interest to many super powers. Unfortunately I did not see it up close, we only went to an old part of the base. Also, we were not supposed to take pictures of any part of the harbor where the ships were due to security concerns.
The car museum was also really cool. They had some really really nice cars there:
And a beautiful bike that I would really like:
Well, not a lot more to say really, been writing to much on here that I keep using less and less words every time.
