I'm still alive...;)
I'm in the University again - finally managed to get my ID for the wireless network, so now I can work with my own laptop.
The last few days have been really good, although it was quite strange living without internet. I'm not used to it anymore. I explored Karlstad and the area around the campus. Yesterday I went for a walk on the "Vänern", the biggest lake in Sweden. It's really nice there, although it's different than I expected it to be. I don't know how to explain it, but I imagined it to look somehow like the "Bodensee" or any other lake in Austria. But no, it's different. There are many islands in the lake, so you can only guess how big it is, because you don't actually see far. I hope you know what I mean... The picture above shows the lake - the thing on the right is such an island, so the lake is much bigger than it appears.
Enough of the geography-lesson ;)
Today I'm going to make a new bank account and call some internet providers - there MUST be a chance to get internet access without a swedish ID.
The orientation days start tomorrow - some lectures about sweden, swedish habits/customs and some other stuff.
So, that's it so far...writing again soon
