Sweden: Spring 2016

013

Day 1   February 29, 2016

We flew to Copenhagen on Monday and then some of us ate at the airport. Then we took a train to Sweden. When we crossed the border the police checked our passports and so we learned: Don’t stress! We met our hosts at Hässleholm station, while some travelled to Vinslöv and met their hosts there. Everyone had their own plans for the evening, but some met each other in Café Lövet.

Day 2   March 1, 2016

On Tuesday we had our first day in Swedish schools, and we followed different classes. After lunch we had a city rally. Our hosts had made questions to us and we had to find answers to them. We stayed in the city to five o’clock, and then we came back to school where we ate pizza and then watched a movie called The Host. After the movie some of us went to Elias’ place, while others went home.

Day 3   March 2, 2016

On Wednesday morning we went to school and after lunch we went to Kristianstad with our hosts by train. We first visited Naturum, which presents the nature in Skåne. There were a helicopter simulator, fish, telescopes and binoculars. After that we went shopping and some of us went to eat. There were some problems with trains on the way back. In the evening the girls who were at Linné school in Hässleholm went to Tilda’s place. We baked a chocolate cake and played the jelly beans challenge. We had a very nice evening!

Day 4   March 3, 2016

On Thursday we watched the videos that we had taken. After school we went bowling. We were separated into six different groups. We don’t actually know who won. And then we ate there. The food was so good! After that we all went to Elias and played truth or dare and never have I ever. What happens in Sweden, stays in Sweden…

Day 5   March 4, 2016

Now it’s Friday. We have spent the whole day at school and we are leaving about at five o’clock. We are meeting those who are coming from Vinslöv at the railway station. Then we take a train to the airport. Late in the evening we’ll fly from Copenhagen to Finland.

The week has been full of laughing, new experiences, surprises and friends!

When I’m gone…
When I’m gone..
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me by my hair
You’re gonna miss me everywhere
Oh, you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
