I feel the Christmas spirit already










and it is different than the "Romanian Christmas spirit"...everything is so nicely decorated...there are lights everywhere in the city (white ones, not very coloured like we have them home)...shops have changed their displays...and we went to a Christmas market. Yulin played the drums and some other instruments that I don't know how to call:) in an orchestra...I saw her performing for the first time.Big event!!!! there were lots of people in the street and carols, hot drinks everywhere...very nice! I am looking forward for the Christmas market in Goteborg (Dorinda, Yulin, Viviane, Janine and me). We are gonna drive in the morning and be back in time for the Christmas party in Akademien. We were told not to miss it, coz it's really good and since Swedes don't lie...



Lots of things going...



























































Last Wednesday Movember was fun...I will upload some photos later:) coz they will say more than I can describe. On Thursay I've been with Jan (my next door neighbour and one of my friends here) to Karlssons (Soprano Night with the Business students) - it was nice. On Friday me and Yulin had a very short trip to Huskvarna. Good things to see there: poneys on the street, houses built on high hills and that's about it...Then we returned to our favorite place:Jönköping and went for Fika at Larssons'(Yulin's contact family). This was the best part of our day...We drank glögg (hot wine with almonds and raisins and some other secret stuff) and we aet pepparkakor and Rosa's favorite sandwiches. Yulin played the piano for us, then we looked at some family photo album. The bonds in their family are very close. Rosa and Sven are grand-grand parents and they are very active and full of life. When I am with them I don't feel they are just some old people. They are very open and nice to us. I am glad I met them and get the chance to see a Swedish family. I can't wait for our next Fika.
Friday night....Bongo Bar...weird...Erik went to Australia.
Then Saturday Ceyhun's friends arrived from Istanbul so we had to give them a warm welcome party in Centrum Bar...which was better then other times, but still not interested in the "meat market"(this is how some ppl call Centrum).
Sunday deserves a special post...Later...now I have to go pay the internet and do some stuff
