It's been a while...

Ok, so I understand it has been a while. I have been quite busy with school (yes I actually study) and my travelling of course. A couple of weeks ago I went to Berlin with Justine, Andy, and we met Justine's friend Clarisse there. It was really fun, and the flight there and back was really cheap, like 20E roundtrip! When we arrived we checked into the hostel. It was actually really nice, a lot nicer than the hostels I had previously stayed at. There were only 8 people in this room, opposed to the 18 we stayed with in London, and the facilities were a lot nicer, like you get your own washroom or shower, whatever. We don't spend any time there except for sleeping and such. While we were in Berlin, we did all the touristy things, saw the Reichstag, Checkpoint Charlie, etc. The coolest thing I think we saw was the Eastside Gallery, which is the largest remaining portion of the Berlin Wall, and it was full of this awesome artwork. While in Berlin we tried to go out to a club or something, but we couldn't find a good one. Someone recommended for us to go to this place called Casseiopia, but it was real sketchy looking, in some alley so we didn't go. There are pictures of this place in my Berlin album on facebook if you are just wondering the actual sketchy-ness level of it, which is quite high.

Next weekend is Easter Weekend, and the school organized this trip to some place in Sweden, like 40km from Jonkoping. We are going to stay in a cabin, ride icelandic horses and go canoeing. It sounded like a lot of fun and it was only 500 SEK and that includes your food and everything! We have a week off for Easter Vacation, so the week I get back from the weekend trip, I am going to Brussels, Belgium with Andrew and Jenna. Really looking forward to it. I have so many trips lined up, Brussels, Poland, Paris, Stockholm, Copenhagen. I will inform you of each of them when I get back from them.

So, the weather here in Jonkoping is improving greatly, there is no more snow and the lakes are beginning to melt, and occasionally (like once or twice a week) I see the sun! I will have to take pictures of this place in the spring, because it seems to be much more beautiful here in the nice weather than in the winter.

Really, I should get back to my studies though because by writing this blog I am procrastinating. So until next time TTFN :)
