hey sorry for being so MIA…i was mugging for an exam i had on wednesday and it was a total disaster!!! cos it was in german and i spent tons of time translating the notes but i still couldnt realyl understand it. n tho our prof allowed us to answer the german qns in english i did not manage to borrow the english text so no use! aArgh anyways its over so im glad. n the weather now is wonderful!!! average of about 17deg!!! so we had our first bbq on wed night!!! partly to celebrate that that horrible exam was over and just to have a gathering!!
oh and i bought a bicycle last friday!!! so it has been reallly fun cycling around…haha second hand bike for only 35euros!!! and i will sell it back to the shop. anyway its purple and really pretty…was not on purpose that i chose a purple one. it was the only nice-looking n functional one that was suitable! i’ll upload the pic when i get it cos its in my fren’s camera!
and before all this during the labor day period i went to SWEDEN to visit kj!!! here are some of the pics!!!
i reached around 8pm so we couldnt do much but that night itself she brought me to this club!! its really pretty..like a museum..and big too! here’s us!! n she cooked a nice dinner for me too..
next morning…we’re eating french hotdogs that cost 20SEK!!!
and here’s the spring fest that i went for!! they have some boat race where teams make their own boat and compete! unfortunately many of them break apart when they go down some small waterfall…
and here’s all of us along the river watching the race!
and here’s one of mine fav boats…the simpsons one!! and they even had the simpsons theme song playing along…so cool right!!!
and in the afternoon they had this thing called champagne gallop where they party and spray champagne all over each other!!! it was really fun to watch hahah they all looked like they were enjoying it tho after that they stank and were really cold…hahah
oh n besides all that of cos we ate some good food!!! at places kj recommended….not cheap tho but guess its considered normal for the swedes..nothign there is cheap anyway. but of cos the cafes are very nicely furnished!! guess u pay for the atmosphere..
and the next day we went sightseeing!! this is the uppsala palace grounds and the garden behind..
us in the garden, with the pink palce behind!!
and again we go to eat!!! yay.. another nice n pretty cafe..called cafe linnie. that’s where they always hang out i think.
and this is us in front of the cafe!! i dont think its big enough to tel but we are actually wearing the same top cos i bought it for her from germany!!! hehe
and thanks to kj and frens we had a bbq that evening!!!
she invited her classmates so here’s all of us!! it was really fun!!!
the next day we took on stockholm!!
first we went to this place called Gamla Stan (old town).
it has tons of candy shops and gift shops. my favourite!!!
and the symbol of sweden is the moose!!! so there are tons of souvenirs with mooses on them!! really cute i say! of cos i had to buy some stuff back hahah i felt compelled to somehow. heh
lunch!! at this place called muffin bakery!!!
tho we were so bloated by the sandwich we coulnt finish our muffins!
then we went to this place called skansen that is supposed to be ‘little sweden’!!
they have little houses where they show you how they make their glass wares and all and also the swedish houses in the olden days. there were cute animals toO!
anyway we bought this delicious cinnamon bread from the bakery!
here’s us in a reaplica of a swedish house in the 1920s. its really tiny!
but before those proper brick houses they used to live in ones like this!
here’s a view of stockholm city from skansen!!
the cute animals…elks and brown bears
and look at this amazing tree….those colorful things are all pacifiers!!!
donated by the swedish citizens to skansen, where its used by the little animals!!
After a long long day, we went for dinner!! they actually have a food court in sweden!!!
i was so surprised!!! with really good food too…we ate from this indian stall where kj said its good.
but we shared so we weren’t full so we bought a maxbox!!
here’s me with mine!!! its like mac’s happymeal just that its from MAX. which is a swedish fast food place.
anyway we ran to catch this bus back to uppsala!!! we made it on time! only had 1 day in stockholm which i felt was not really enough cos we had to rush! and skansen is so huge we didnt see everything cos we went to late n many of the little huts were already closed…
the next mornign on the way to uppsala bus station to catch the bus to arlanda airport! here’s the pretty river with the small waterfalls…
and the nice park near kj’s place~!
