Week 50

a normal day of my Swedish life

ZokkerJeannetteEvaSne6

9:30- getting up, having breakfast (muesli!), making myself ready for the tough day to come. Sharing weird dream stories with Greta.
10:30- read or go to library to write on weblog.
11:30- in summer: swim! or just going to the pier en listen to good music. relax a little bit more.
12:30- maaaaaaaybe do the dishes, if I've got nothing better to do. Read all the letters we've got, listen to music.
13:30- eat some lunch with Greta. They have gigantic Knäckebröd here, hurray!
15:00-21:00- working at Zokker. This includes:
- playing Skip-bo with the youth
- speaking swedish a lot with the workers and the youth.
- playing drums and piano with Jonas, a musicloving youngster.
- playing pingis (table tennis) or pool-biljard.
- setting op my own projects, like a party group or building a website with Greta, and making the youth want to participate in it. It's the hardest job I have. Most of them just seem to only want to play games!
- learning X-box games. I suck. most of the time it takes me 5 minutes already to see which team is mine (Fifa 2006) or which motorcrosser (motorcross-game) I am. But Dennis (another youngster) is determined to learn me the X-box basics. Good luck, Dennis!
- clean up a bit after youth has gone.
21:00- being home, make something really good and healthy to eat, watch some tv and wait with serving dinner until greta is home, which is at...
21:50- Dinner!
22:30- play Halli Galli or cards or read or watch tv.
23:00-0:00- SCRUBS! Greta and me cuddle up and watch two full episodes of this show. it's our favourite :).
0:00- talk a bit and go to bed. What a nice day.

Week 48

Sweden angst and Kopenhagen

KH1KH8

Ahhh, I just came back from a weekend in Kopenhagen and it was wonderful! We went couchsurfing there as well, in Simons place in the centre of Kopenhagen, so it was cheap AND nice. We saw Kristiania (a hippie part of Kopenhagen which is not really part of Kopenhagen. It's just Kristiania. It has a sign at the border, saying 'you are now entering the EU), and a lot of the centre, and we partied a lot. It was so nice!

But when we where there, we thought: God, this is so nice, all the people talking with us and partying. It made us think of the Swedish people: they are not really party-people. A lot of them are really superficial, only caring about how they look, and not really interested in us. We have been in Sweden for three months now, and still we didn't make any friends! That's just weird. But we are planning a party and we will invite all the Swedish people we slightly now (the guestlist includes 'record-shop boy' and 'girl we met in bus' and their friends). So we WILL find friends. But it's so much easier in Denmark, or any other country probably! Oh well, there are lots of other nice things in Sweden. Like the nature.

Pictures will come online probably this week. Music tip: The Knife! It's a bit electro-pop, and Emma (the Stockholm-couchsurfer girl) made us listen to it. In the Kopenhagen I found out that they have  actually written the original 'heartbeats' (you now, from the 'stuiterbal-reclame?') and that Jose Gonzalez (also a Swede) has just covered it.
