Last 2 days we’ve been working really hard here in Sweden.

Yesterday we went to Stockholm in the morning as at 11.30 we had meeting with Rotary International Club in Stockholm to talk about Up with People coming to Sodertalje. It’s been really nice presentation and we loved it. President of the club, Rita, was really nice and she said that she will try to help us.
In the morning we had to take train to Stockholm and it is only 45 minutes drive with train. From what we could see in Stockholm, we loved it and we really decided that we are moving there in future. If you ask me, it reminds me to Riga, Latvia which is in a way reasonable because both cities are northern Europe cities.

Around 2 we returned to Sodertalje and we continue working in office taking care of the rest of the things.

Today we continued working on setting the city for the cast. We had another presentation but this time in High school and we had to present in front of more than 350 high school students. It has been challenging experience as it’s hard to keep everyone quite but we managed to do it. After that we come back to office and continue working there as it has been raining from time to time all day and it would be hard to walk around. We still don’t have show posters so we in a way feel that we miss things, but we are still working hard to promote show in the city and area around.

Our host mum prepared us really nice dinner for both evenings. Yesterday was also hers “name day”. Her name is Alva as Alva Edison and she celebrated her name day yesterday. Also, we met her daughter and her grandchildren yesterday. That was really cool.

Weather is a little bit freezing here in Sweden. It’s been raining and wind is blowing all the time so I’m still having hard time with weather, but I’m getting used to.
