How did the first weekend in Sweden pass?
This weekend was very interesting and I thank very much to my host family that they made this weekend so unique.
My host family took me and Faith to their summer house in the woods. It was sooo cool. I loved it.
Yesterday morning Faith and I spent at home in Sodertalje working and catching with all emails we didn’t answer during our stay in Thailand. Around 3PM our host mum picked us up and took us to summer house. First she showed us little town near by where they used to live and she told us some great stories about it. She also showed us their old house in that little city.
We reached summer house around 6PM and I fall in love with it. It’s small house in the woods far away from traffic. It is just perfect. They showed us little guest house where we were sleeping last night. When I say small, I really mean small but perfect. I took the top bed and Faith took the bottom one.
Dinner was ready around 8 and outside it was a little bit freezing but we still decided to eat dinner outside. They turned on warming machine so it wasn’t so cold. Evening and dinner was great. I loved it, with candles and jacket on myself.
After dinner we went to watch Spartacus, but we were tired so we called off the movie and went to sleep. It was great night sleep as it was so quiet.
I woke up around 8 and I felt great. It was sunny nice day. I worked on my computer till 10 when Faith woke up and together we went to eat some breakfast. After breakfast, our host parents decided to go to the woods to hunt mushrooms so I decided to go with them. Faith wasn’t feeling very well so she stayed at house and watched Spartacus.
Woods were awesome. Trust me, woods here in Sweden looks like woods from fairytale and only thing it was missing was little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. Amazing! As we were walking, I felt like walking on the carpet as on the bottom it was a lot of that wooden plant, I don’t know the name. In Croatian is “Mahovina”.
Our mushroom hunting wasn’t successful at all. We found one undeclared mushroom so we took it with us to define what kind of mushroom is that. Woods were really dry so we couldn’t find anything. We found tree where moos was sharpen his “top on the head” part and we also found moos shit. We found while mushroom which was considered to be the poisons mushroom and also my host parents told me a story how Vikings used mushrooms to get angry for fighting.
After we come back we were watching High Jump World Championship in Osaka and Blanka Vlasic won the first prize. If you haven’t heard, Blanka is Croatian best high jump sport player and she jumped 2.05 meters in Osaka and won gold medal. I’m so proud to be Croat.
After that, we had mushroom soap for dinner. Of course, not from the mushroom we found. And after that we start packing and return back to Sodertalje.
Here in Sodertalje, I spend the rest of the day playing guitar with my host brother Johan and just enjoying the dinner with whole host family.
I uploaded all my photos from Thailand. Here you can find the rest of the photos. Whatch out for new photos from Sweden soon.
