Different World

Since Tuesday I am back in Germany (or like the Sweds would say: "Jörmänie"). Traveling home is not very interesting. You wait for your train, wait 3 hours until the train arrives in Arlanda, wait another 3 hours for the plane, wait 2 hours until the plane arrives in Cologne (Köln) and then you drive another hour to my home.
And what do you do, when you come home? First: you eat bread. A real one. Not one of those swedish cookie-toasts. And what else? Of course. A real beer. A beer that you drink for taste and not for DPK (Dizziness Per Krown). My first day consisted of buying a box of beer, shoes for the winter (my old ones in Sweden are worn) and new clothes, for you get very bored of your old ones if you have to live for 11 month with a bunch of clothes just enough to fit into a bag.
Since I came back I heard two common questions: 1. How is the weather? 2. When will you go back? First, the weather is cloudy but ok. From time to time we have rain showers and today I did not even see a blue spot in the sky. Therefore, I still wait for my first starlit sky, for Sundsvall had none since April. Second, I plan to go back at the 2nd of August.

If you are interested what happened the last two weeks since I closed the Erasmus-Blog check my Picasa webalbum for two galleries: one of a tour with Pontus and one of Midsommar in Svedje. If you have facebook you can also check pictures from Nadja's BBQ.

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.

3rd erasmus

Yesterday was the inofficial start of the 3rd erasmus semester because Jens arrived as the first of the new students. He even participated at the EILC in Falun! And guess what, he's our new flatmate! The main part of the new students will come this week. That the new students arrive means also that the last from the 1st and 2nd will leave. Today it was Benjamin's turn. The only good thing is that from now on there won't be less students in Nacksta than today. Jens and I brought Benjamin to the trainstation and walked back through the town. In the afternoon we will maybe walk to Sidsjön and at night we will check Sundsvall's pubs. For the 3rd erasmus semester has begun.
