Por Que Te Vas

At saturday we stood up at 10 and went to the university for booking the train tickets for Gema which she needed on sunday. We wanted to go to university anyway because there happened this years Medelpaddeln. The task at Medelpaddeln is for two team to canoe approximatly 100 meters upstream to the lower bridge, climb a latter, handshake with a person on the bridge and get back as first team to the starting point. It was great fun. A lot of canoes keeled over. Ulrich's team even won the first competition. I took so many pictures that I had to make two galleries in Picasa. One only about the race and one about race and audience. Click on the pictures below.








After the race Gema and I went home while Philipp worked further at the university. As well as Gema I took a nap for being prepared for the evening. First we had a preparty at Ulrich's flat and went to the student house afterwards. It was even full. A pitty we missed the cover band in the first floor. Somehow in the upper floor was first nothing so we went to the dance floor downstairs were we danced until the end, but the music was the worst we have ever heard there. Nobody of us liked it (except perhaps Petter... if he can remember it :D ). In a beautiful morning light we went home by car at 2:30. If it is not clouded it is bright 24 hours a day now.
We went to bad at 3am and stood ab at 6:30. Gema's went by train 8:11. I am so looking forward to go to Spain one day. After Philipp and I have returned from the trainstation we slept. But I slept just for a little bit more than one hour, because I guided Sebastian and his parents to Härnösand. His parents are here for vacation by car and because Sebastian wanted to see something different I offered to show them Härnösand, because I was longing for a change, too. And it was great! First we took a walk of a little bit more than one hour through the town, watched the buildings and the dome. Afterwards we stopped in a cafe and drove to Smitingen afterwards. The last time I've been there was during the EILC in august 2006. This time The weather was great, for the sun was shining all the time, like once in august. We wandered from Smitingen to some grottoes and around a lake. The way was difficult and we had to climb a lot. But we have been rewarded with a most amazing landscape, a natural peacefulness and the best tracking experience since I've been in Sweden. Again, a gallery at Picasa shows expressions of my trip.
Baders in Härnösand
This was the most beautiful weekend of the semester. First all the activities with Gema and then this dream of a trip to Smitingen. Today I knew, why I had chosen Sweden for my abroad.

För den jag är

Unbelievable. Anna is already since 10 days gone. Or is it only 10 days? I lost my feeling for time. Everyday is full of experiences and activities. I cannot recall everything what I have done in the past two weeks. Many things are just small things which I appreciate a lot. But the last weekend was a highlight. We went with 12 people in three cars to a place called Vallbo near Åre. We started at half past 6 in the morning on Saturday. Although some of us did not sleep at all during the fromer night we walked almost 8 hours. And it was awesome. We walked through so many different landscapes. Wood, swamp, high gras, Tundra, stone desert, climbed up a mountain, walked crosswards through the wood, on a dead river... Overwhelming. I remembered pictures of New Zealand while we wandered through that panorama. The view was breathtaking. The weather changed quickly a few times. One we had even an ice shower. In the end of the day we stayed for dinner at a pension where we got selfmade soup, b...

Aller guten Dinge sind drei

On Friday we had a party at Norrmalms. And because the party room looses power at 12pm everybody had to bring candles. Cool idea. In the morning I felt a little bit dizzy. I guess, due to Matt's Whiskey-Coke. At a Whiskey-Cola by Matt Coke is only used for giving the Whiskey a slightly darker color. On Saturday we have been to Kårhuset the first time since weeks, because Marcolino, Thomas and Jens were working there for the first time all together on one evening. And surprisingly the party it was very good. First we conquered a private party at the upper floor. It was meant for some Swedish students, but they were already drunk and not caring about who enters the dinner room. And they had a cool Live-band who played only good rock. They stopped at half past 1 and the last two hours we sticked to the usual dance floor who did not have the usual annoying Swedish chart music. I cannot recall what they were playing, because most songs I did not know, but it was funny. Somehow, this se...

First week

Now it has been almost a week since I came back and I remember why: because of the summer. It is the most beautiful season here. And I tried to take advantage of the weather. I got a new bicycle for I changed my small blue one with Anna's big yellow bike. Funny, it is the same modell as mine in Germany - just bigger. My first ride was to Sidsjön two days ago to have a picknick there. The day after I repaired the brakes and today I bought a new lock and oil for the chain. This evening it rained and tomorrow shall be the ugly weather, too. I want to try to use the next sunny day for a small tour. Probably the road along Sidsjön out of Sundsvall.
