Swedish School is Awesome

A few people have being asking me to put up some pictures and talk about what school is like here. Well at the moment I have no pictures of my school so that will have to wait but I will talk about it. Well pretty much School in Sweden is absolutely awesome it is so much more casual and nice than school in Australia. You have alot more responsibility to learn the topic yourself and ask if you need help. My class is also full of some of the nicest people I have ever met I was accepted into group right from the get go. Thankfully also swedish humour and Australian humour seem to be fairly similar and translates well. So in Short Sweden is a beatiful country and so are it's schools and people.

Also on the way here on my flight from Bangkok to Stockholm the in-flight movie was Into the Wild. Which is a story of an American colledge kid who throws away his middle class lifestyle and begins a journey across America to Alaska. I think this movie is truely great and says alot about the sort of lifestyle you have on exchange. I encourage anyone reading this to go see Into the Wild.

Ice Skating

The day after the Ice hockey game Carl took me down to the local lake, lake runn to go ice skating which I thought wouldn't be much harder than skating in a rink but with the wind and uneven ice to contend with it was much harder but I got the hang of it after falling down a couple of times.

Ice Hockey

Yesterday I went with Carl to go see a ice hockey match. Between Mora a town one hour from falun and another team I know only as the white team. I was going for Mora the red team and the home team but unfortunately they lost 1-4. Also unfortunately I forgot my camera so I have no pictures but I did buy a t-shirt.

Here is a picture from my window before and after it snowed.

In Sverige (Sweden)

After 30 hours of travelling, Meeting Koshy, Nearly destroying an information booth machine and hallucinating from exhauston I am finally in Sweden.

Unfortunatly for my host family I arrived at 6.30am. But besides the shared exhaustion my first day in sweden went very well. I first went to my host father's daughter's apartment in Stockholm for breakfast then travelled to Falun(my host town) from there. Once in stockholm I met with my host councillor Annelie and some other rotary members from different clubs in Falun. After that I slept which was awesome. The next day after waking up I went around Falun with Annelie. Which was mainly for me to meet the headmaster of my school but I also got to see more of Falun.

Here are the airport photos I have.

Before in Perth International.

After in Arlanda Airport, Stockholm with Carl-henric(my host dad) and his family.
