One of my promises for 2009 was to increase the amount of posts in this blog. During mine and Isak’s trip I felt like people actually wanted to know what we were doing. When I got back to Sweden my life didn’t become dull, but I didn’t think my stories would interest anyone. However, reflecting upon the blogs I read myself, I realize that I appreciate private, everyday posts just as much as fascinating adventures from friends on the road.
So, from now on I’ll keep this site up to date. Not primarily for your sake, but for mine. It’ll give me an opportunity to develop my English and to reflect upon what’s going on in my life.
To start with I’ll briefly tell you what’s been going on so far. From December 29th to January 6th I stayed with some friends in Undersåker, 15 minutes by car form the best skiing resort in Sweden: Åre. I got eight days in the slopes in a row, which is a new record. The conditions were phenomenal with between 20-40cm of fresh powder for three or four days. When the slopes were closed I mainly enjoyed getting to know my friends better and finding some new ones. On New Years eve we met up with a bunch of cool people and had a marvelous dinner in an old, cold warehouse (photo above). More photos from that night here.
Right now I just arrived to Götabro, my school. In four days from now (on Sunday) I’m moving to Hillerstorp where I’ll be interning this Spring semester. More on that to come…
