We ate tacos that evening. There is nothing better than tacokväll!:) [tacoevening, traditionally on fridays in Sweden] There was a boy, who had gone on exchange to Germany last year, and it was very funny and interesting to talk about the cultural differencies and our opinions. It was a pleasure to speak german again. Face to face, not on the telephone.
Here you can see a photo of a hot bath tub
It is definitely on the list of my top 3 experiences in Sweden.
The weather has been less... bad. During the last week we had degrees above 0°C. Which was very nice. First the snow was melting. So there was a lot of water and uhm slush. So when the temperature fell below zero in the night again, it transformed the sidewalks into a skating rink. And if I wasn't running late for school already, I could have gone to the busstation on ice skates. In PE lesson, the teacher told us we could decide whether we want to do some strength inside or go for a walk to Uppsalas castle and back. In Germany that would not have been allowed. Because of all the insurance stuff. We are not even allowed to have lass anywhere else than in the classroom. Sad. My friends and me decided to go for a walk. First I thought we would just take a walk to ICA (supermarket ;) ) but we actually went to the castle and took some pictures as proof. We were sliding on the ice the whole way. It became difficult though, when we had to go on a hill. It was a lot of fun, but I almost fell 3 times because the ice was so slippery. When I'm scared, like really really scared, I scream so loud and terrible out of panick, that it sounds like someone just murdered me. I remember 4 times this happened here in Sweden. The first time was in summer when I saw a spider, and I was really not expecting to see one. The second time was a couple of months ago, when we I was filling up a bottle of water and my friend sneaked up behind me and said: buh. We were actually plannng on studying in the room. But this was really embarassing so we went somewhere else after I screamed in panic. The 3rd time was last weekend. We were having a sleepover with friends and she did the exact same thing. And I think she learned her lesson, to NOT scare me, because this always ends badly. I have to say, we were lucky nobody called the police after that. The 4th time was when I slipped on the ice. And I literally thought: "This is my end." But I managed to catch someone's shoulder, so I didn't fall.
There was another fun thing that happened. Many people were skipping italian class and the teacher saw on the phone of a girl that was in class, that the girl that was skipping class had sent her a snap on snapchat. So he took a picture of himself, where he looks angry, with the girls phone and sent it to the other girl. It was hilarious. We need more teachers like that in Germany.
It is a good feeling to know, that winter is coming to an end. There are so many things you can't do when it is cold outside and so little things you actually can do. Like: the other day, I wanted to go for a run in the forest. But the running path was icy and slushy, and it was dark. And I figured running on an icy, slushy path through the dark forest isn't the smartest thing to do. Plus I was a little afraid that I might meet animals that I don't want to meet.
But right now the weather is quite nice. It's like spring, but the scent of flowers in the air is missing .
You guys have a great time and enjoy the first rays of sunlight, that we have been missing for so long.
And have a great Carnival my german friends! Next year I will celebrate it with you again.
Heute in einer Woche ist Rosenmontag!
