sweden - Day 1

Its 5.45pm now, and the day is almost to an end, and I cant believe it. I think the name of this blog should be changed to 'quickly passing days...Hmmmm... Well, the four Indians right now are in Sweden and the two guatemalans in Fyresdal. Its probably the first time (except our vacations) that that 6 FKs are not together.

So, we are in Sweden after a very long train journey which began yesterday at 1.25 from röra, then to trondheim, then to Östersund, and then to Götterberg. We were recieved by the very sweet Mattias, äsa and Lina who are the staff of the swedish school which plans to send some of its students to India and to Christ University. It was amazing spending the day just walking and looking around in a very amazing weather with loads of sun :) Met Sara, who is planning to go to India and had very many small conversations about food, religion and differences in culture.
Then met my host family (in lärum) Sana, who is also planning to go to India and went to a bowling evening so that we could meet all the others as well.

After just one day (not even literally one day) Sweden seems different from Norway... but dont ask me how, but it just feels different. Its more old here.. as in the house and the look of it, though some places looks way too developed, people are more comfortable talking english (atleast the ones we met.. it may also be cause they know we dont know swedish).
But one thing remains the same - people here are also extra and super sweet :)

This was just the first day which has made most us excited about our further stay here. Lets see.
