Reborn in Sweden

Hailing from the little red dot, I'm going to freeze my arse off in Sweden. My exploits, tribulations and triumphs. My expectations, fears and joys. Sweden, here I come!

Shopping List (Update 2)

1) 3 to 4 sweaters
2) Trench coat
3) Leather boots
4) Shower gel
5) Shampoo
6) Facial wash
7) Lip balm
8) Moisturiser
9) Hair gel
10) Plane ticket
11) Travel insurance
12) Baptism and Confirmation certificated (photocopy)
13) Passport (photocopy)
14) Detergent concentrate (for scrubbing stains)
15) Money (exchange)

Now that I have almost everything (Still need to get the all important insurance and money. Time to call my agent!), from toiletries to clothing to the plane ticket, it seems so final. Yes, I'll be leaving on the 23rd of this month. Butterflies fluttered, and a pang of heartache stabbed me as I typed the previous sentence. I'm going to miss home. I'm going to miss my friends. I think I can finally understand how C felt when he left the country as well. It's only 6 months plus. I know. But I'll be going to some place where I know literally (note: not virtually) no one.

On the other hand, it's going to be an exciting time as well. Finally a chance to experience the world by myself. Travelling by myself. Surviving on my own. New people to meet. New sites to see.

A whole plethora of feelings traverse through my body. Excitement, fear. Expectations. Yeah.
