Well, my journey was nice and as promised, I used Gregor's "RFOL" technique...
Zurich Airport:
Ok, I'm feeling excited now. I'm sitting in front of the gate, waiting for it to open. My heart beats fast. I*m excited, afraid and sad.
Excited because of what's going to happen to me. Afraid because I hope that everything goes well with my flight (and that my suitcase won't get lost). Sad because of all the people I had to leave behind.
Well, the gate opens soon, I write again late...
Some time later...
I'm sitting in the plane, somewhere over Germany (Frankfurt I guess). Honestly, I don't know what to write...so far it's a nice flight. I watched some funny Tom&Jerry Cartoons, ate a tasty muffin and now I'm calm and relaxed. The pilot just announced that there might be some turbulences du to heavy winds, but I guess (and hope) we'll survive it...
later :)
9.10
I'm in Copenhagen now, waiting for the Gate to open (again...). I really really hope that everything's ok with my baggage and that it's on the same plane as me.
Denmark seems to be a beautiful country - at least it looks nice from above. Note to myself - visit Denmark soon. So far I just know that it's flat. Really flat.
I know that some other students will arrive in Karlstad at the same time as me - I wonder if I'll meet them here...although it would be a big coincidence.
The airport in Copenhagen is really nice - it's quite big and there are lots and lots of stores. If I had time (and money) I'd stroll around a bit.
Boarding starts, cu later
9.40
Ok, I'm sitting in the plane - if that's the correct expression for this "thing". this must be the smallest plane I've ever travelled with. 20 people were on the bus to the plane - and the plane is nearly full. But it's cool, I feel like a guy in one of these adventure movies on their way to "treasure Island" ;)
10.05
We're flying...and it's wonderful watching the landscape on the ground, it's completelty different from anything I know. The flight itself is a bit "bumpy" and loud, but it's ok.
10.30
Sweden looks really nice from above. I'm already in love with the small islands in the lakes. Really cool. Unbelievable how many lakes there are...! So far I've counted more than 60 lakes.
Soon after this last entry I arrived in Karlstad. And those must be the most boring entries ever written ;)
I picked up my suitcase (it didn't get lost ;) ) and a met 3 other exchange students, who I've already seen on the plane. We were picked up and brought to the campus - there I unpacked my suitcase, called my parents and tried to realize that I'm actually here...in Sweden...away from home.
Björn, a Host Student with whom I already had some contact (StudiVZ...) came by for a short visit and answered some of my questions.
The rest of the day I explored the area around my room, went shopping (more about that later...) and in the evening there was a small sitting-together-and-having-some-drinks in the kitchen, where I met some nice people from the Netherlands, Sweden, Thailand, Germany and America.
So, my first day in Sweden was really nice...
Sorry for NOT posting any pics right now, but I'm using one of the computers from the University...
