So on Saturday I went to Uppsala, about 45 minutes north of Stockholm by train. It was a Rotaract organized event, and it was a lot of fun! All of us Stockholm exchangers took the train up together, and met up with some of the Rotaract members and the one exchange student in Uppsala, Anthony, an oldie from Australia. First we walked over to the student union and had fika/lunch, it was a really cool place fun by the students of Uppsala University. After lunch we went bowling, it was a lot of fun even though I wasn't very good (I never broke 100), and the bowling alley was really nice, very clean with only a few lanes. Then we had some time to walk around the city, so we walked to the center and had fika again. After that we met back up with Rotaract and went to dinner at a Chinese buffet. That was a really fun day, and makes me think how much I'm going to miss the exchange students going home soon! :-/
Sunday was a luncheon at Vivi-Ann's house, which is absolutely beautiful by the way! Vivi-Ann is our district chair, she is such a great lady, we all love her! All the Stockholm exchange students went, Anthony couldn't join because it was Farsdag and he was spending it with his host family.
*Oh Grattis på Farsdag Papa! :)*
While we were there Vivi-Ann gave us a tour of her yard, it was really nice, and there were viking stone carvings right next to her house!! We also told her how we were all doing, what we did over höstlov, that sort of thing. We had spaghetti for lunch, one thing you might not know is that Swedes put ketchup on their spaghetti.. I don't think it is very good at all. :-P After lunch we planned what we would do for the district conference that is in a week and a half. We are going to do skits about strange things that have happened to us or things we found strange in Sweden. Tomorrow we will practice and plan some more here at the house. It should be quite silly, at least to us! Oh Vivi-Ann has the cutest dog! It's a five year old boxer named Simba, he is so adorable and nice! I just love that dog!
Talking about dogs reminds me that Ralf is still missing, apparently people have seen him down by the water and on a tree stump by the house in front of ours. They have seen him up till Wednesday or Thursday that I know of and he has been missing since last Saturday! So he is close by, we are thinking someone is feeding him wet cat food or tuna so he is staying with someone else. It is weird that someone would do that though, he certainly never looked like he was starving he is quite a fat cat!! Well we have signs up and we are keeping our eyes peeled for him, maybe he will turn up.
Anna left for Singapore on Sunday just after I got back from the luncheon. She will be there for ten days! I wish I could have tagged along to Singapore... For 10 days! Annica is staying with me again, so it's all good in the hood.
Oh the paint and wallpaper in the kitchen is completed and it looks amazing! I hope the living room and foyer turn out as well!
That's all for now! :)
