How exciting! The sun is out and it has done wonders for my mood! I love it! I think that it is pretty hard to be sad when the sun is out (especially when it is rarely out to begin with). It is just what I needed I think! Start of a new day!
Spending the night tonight with some of my girlfriends, going over to Yulisa and Linda's place and we are having pancakes. With ice cream! And wine! Looking forward to it for sure. And then we plan to go to Club Caj, a club here in Jönköping that is only open every second Thursday. The theme tonight is 'Moscow' (yeahhh, I don't know they are doing some random city/country themes...), could be a good time!
So here is a funny story for all of you back in Canada, pretty much everywhere else in the world (okay, well of the many countries that I have talked to) calls 'aluminum' ALUMINIUM! Bizarre? I think so! And also many places pronounce oregano differently (not sure how to explain it though). Oh the things I am learning here, I like it!
Alright, I am off for the day, just got an offer to go shopping...and many of you know that I can't resist that!

Welcome!
Well I finally decided that I am starting a blog about my adventures in Sweden! (and surrounding countries...) I thought it would be a great way to keep everybody back home up-to-date with what is happening over here...if you are even interested! Haha.
So this past weekend me and 8 of my good friends took a road trip to Malmo and Copenhagen. It was great fun! We went to see a german band called the Beatsteaks in Malmo and they were probably on of the best live shows I've ever been to! It was sooo much fun! The next day we did some touring around Malmo, starting our day off with breakfast, which for most of us consisted of mcdonalds...yes, we're a healthy bunch! It is a pretty great feeling traveling with a bunch of friends, even though we were all a bit hungover/tired, everyone was in a pretty good mood, traveling around Malmo in a big blue van listening to some great tunes. We didn't really have any plans on what we wanted to visit so we thought we would just go to city center and go from there. So we parked and paid for the parking but when Martijn put the ticket in the window to show we paid, it fell into this little crevice between the window and the dashboard where it couldn't been seen! Haha, Tim spent over 20 minutes trying to get the ticket out, using a fork (which ended up also falling in there...and never being retrieved actually...), chewing gum, various pens and eventually twigs. I imagine this wouldn't have been very fun if it happened while you were by yourself, but with a bunch of people it was hilarious!
Copenhagen=beautiful! What a gorgeous city! All of the old buildings are sooo nice to look at! The weather was a bit chilly though...but I guess that it is only February, and technically I shouldn't complain because I hear it is MUCH colder back home...We went to a couple museums, saw the opera house, the royal family's house, the little mermaid and we went to this really interesting community called Christiania. It is within Copenhagen, but separate because it doesn't follow all of the laws that the city has, it makes its own. You can't take pics while you are there and there is tons of graffiti and hippie-like people. Dogs run free and people pretty much do what they want there. It was intriguing!
Most of the people on the trip took a turn driving (I didn't because I am not confident in my standard skills...and by not confident I mean I've done it approx. twice) and there were a few scary moments with some people! But I won't mention any of the names...or nationalities! Hahaha. All in all, really fun trip! Looking forward to my next one...wherever I will go!
