Prince Daniel in my school and Northern Lights

07.10.2015

Today I saw Prince Daniel. He was at our school. With 3 other people. Doing a presentationsbout entrepreneurship (how to build and run companies basically). Why did he came to MY school? Because it's kinda fancy. It's a great school and many people want to go there. And a few of the nobel laureats went to the school. And the guy who invented skype. He was also there today . We had to stand when the prince entered. That was weird for everyone. Because in Sweden everyone is equal. And you never stand up when the teacher enters the room or something. But he didn't had much to say, it was mostly the skype-guy who talked. It was quite interesting I think, but I couldn't understand everything.

After training, it was about 22:15, my hostfather, bigger hostbrother and me drove home and I started to see the northern lights. We stopped the car, got out of it and looked at it. It was so impressing. It was the first time for all of us to see northern lights. We drove home, put on some warmer clothes and drove around to find a place where it's completely dark without any disturbing lights. Because in our village there were too many streetlights. It was only my hostfather, my hostsister and me.  On the way, I saw a shooting star and made a wish :) I have only seen 2 or 3 shooting stars in my whole life.  We found a field, there were two rabbits that I could see and I don't see many rabbits in wildlife usually. So that was quite cool too.  We watched the northern lights and the stars for a while. It was very beautiful. The northern lights were not so strong as you know them from pictures but though it was so cool to see how quick they moved

What you expect

How we saw it

. Sadly I didn't bring my camera to Sweden. That was a bad decision because in 6-7 weeks that I'm here now, I have already seen so many beautiful things that I don't want to forget about. Today we spoke about the northern lights and people told me that you can't see them in Uppsala. Or once in 10 years. I am so lucky!

It was very cold, so we drove home. At home my hostfather told us about his time in the military. Because at an earlier time you had to go to the military education. But now you don't. It was the same thing in germany. But these storys are not so fun. Hearing how they had to sleep outside when it was very cold, or in a tent when it was -35°C outside is more interesting.

How can one be so lucky? Crazy how much great things happened today. I'm very happy to be here and to experience all these nice things, that I wouldn't experience in Germany.
