I feel that I have fully found my feet now I’ve been here
for a month. It hasn’t been the easiest time but it has been a great time, a
time of learning about what I can deal with and that’s important to have in
your life every now and again. I have found it quite difficult to get on with
some of the Sweds as they just aren’t as open as us Northern Irish but I shouldn’t
expect that.
I went to an ice hockey game this week and that was truly brill.
If we think the Belfast Giants are good then these guys would make them look
like children. It was an amazing experience, I went with a group of friends and
our tickets were for the standing area. This was a great choice at it seemed to
be where the hard core fans where, with the chants and drums so really got us
into the atmosphere and game. The Växjӧ Lakers won in extra time in a
penalty shootout, which was really cool to see.
I went to my friend family’s house for dinner this week, I had
to travel by bus to Braås and they picked me up from there as the live on a farm a
bit further out from town. That was just great and felt so nice to be in a home
environment again with a home cooked meal and fire in the living room. They
were so welcoming and friendly so it made chat easy. We talked about over
family and what things we liked to do. As I said previously I share my friend
family with a guy called Ravi from India, so was great to actually have a
proper conversation with him and to find out what life is like in India. He is
here for three years; I don’t if I could be away from my family and girlfriend
that long.
So me and Niall have decided to either do a 10km run or half
marathon in May so I will start doing my ankle stretches again to make sure it’s
strong enough for it (Broke and tore ligaments during Belfast marathon training
last year). Also I may need to get a move on with losing that Christmas weight that’s
been there for the last couple of years. Hopefully it will help me get ready
for the summer months.
I also have decided to go on a trip in the middle of March
to Poland with one of the lecturers. We go to Krakow and have a tour around the
old town but the bit I am most interested in seeing is Auschwitz. I don’t think
it will be a nice trip but just to see the history of it and to be there will
be so interesting.
Tak så myket for reading. (more pics will be up soon)
Until next time Hej då
