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!

Photos!

05 February 2006: View from my room at 2200hrs. It was freaking bright that night. Almost like the sun didn't set.

10 February 2006: My first movie ticket stub. The show was Jarhead. Look at the price of the ticket man. 90kr! To think I watched another movie the next day.

10 February 2006: View from my table at Angstromlaboratoriet. This was the first time I saw the state flags being flown on the poles. I was told that the flags mean that something big is going on within the building, like a dissertation (oral defence).

14 February 2006: Ultunaallén. View from the bus stop.

14 February 2006: Ultunaallén. I'm told this literally means tree-lined street of Ultuna. I'm sure it'll look great in spring.

14 February 2006: Genetikvägen. The road leading to the microbiology building at SLU. On the right are parking spaces, while on the left is a garden. Since SLU is an agricultural university, the trees in the garden are mostly labelled.

14 February 2006: Garden at SLU.

14 February 2006: Tree-lined motorway leading to Genetikvägen. It's a busy road, and the only pedestrian crossing is just a simple zebra crossing. It can be quite difficult to cross at times. And for some reason, this place (and Ultunaallén) is really freezing cold. Even more so than at the city. The wind had always been very strong whenever I was there (thus far anyway).

The following pictures are horribly unclear. Mostly because it was freaking cold, my fingers were frozen and hands shaking.

17 February 2006: Sunnersta. At the base of the slopes, looking up.

17 February 2006: Slopes at Sunnersta. At the top of the slopes, looking down. This is the 'bunny' slope where I tried skiing. For pulka, I ventured to the more advanced slope. That was fun.

17 February 2006: Campfire after pulka. Baked apples and baked chocolate bananas anyone?

Too bad there wasn't any image of me skiing or sledging down the slopes. It was just too cold for anyone to operate the mini-camera that I had. Heck. It was too cold to operate ANY camera. The cameras only came out during the campfire.

Oh boy... u r out to make us jealous!
I've dreamt of walking down those tree-lined streets... just like the one in the pic which you took at Ultunaallén...I believe they'll look even more beautiful during spring time, with all those pretty flowers.
