Welcome Party, Sunday shopping and Malmö Festival

hej, once more!
I was quite busy during the last few days, so it took a bit longer then expected until this blog entry. First of all I would like to show you some of the pictures taken from my room. As you might already know the furniture was already in the room when I arrived here. The fotos are "as it is", which means I didn't care to clean up :D.








During the saturday we joined an excursion for the exchange students trough the southern part of Sweden. We had good weather and visited two places of interest. One was a very, very old castle and the other was a stone monument from the viking age. It formed a viking ship sailing to the north. Maybe this doesn't sound that great but it was quite interesting. But of course my personal highlight was a visit to the really beautiful beach. I love the sea so much, I always relax myself when I am close to water! The guy behind Annina is Hermann, our new friend from Salzburg.



As I mentioned before on Saturday night there was a big Welcome-Party for all international exchange students. It was located at one of the main buildings at the LTH (Lunds tekniska högskolan = Lunds Technical University), which is my university in Lund. I would like to have such partys at my university in Graz too. They sold too few tickets, so a lot of room was left during the party. This was the only drawback, because alot of students didn't get any tickets. I have some fotos from the party too:



On sunday, the day after the party we were really tired. The first week was cram-full of new impressions and we didn't sleep that much. Anyway, we decided to go to IKEA to get some basic stuff for our rooms. In Sweden a lot of shops have opened on Sunday too, for example the nearest supermarket is opened every day from 9h to 22h. Nico would like this :)
I didn't know what I had expected, but Ikea was so fucking crowded, I think every single family in whole Sweden was at Ikea on this day, shopping furniture and other stuff for their children. I bought some stuff like a blanket, a linen, a dustbin and some decorative items for my room.

On Monday I joined a friend from my corridor, who went to Malmö to the so called "Malmöfestivalen", which is a very big festival, lasting for about 2 weeks. There are many live-bands and all the concerts are for free. At least until I drank my first beer, after that I realised it is not for free :). Yeah, but I guess I have to get used to this. Even the beer from the supermarket is expensive in Sweden. If you want to get drunk, the only way to do this without spending a lot of money are the so called "Nations".

I will explain the idea behind the nations in my next blog. I hope you enjoy this entry, including the pictures is a lot of work, right now. But I guess, there will be easier and better ways writing his own blog than the online user interface. As I realized, the picture-layout isn't very good, but I don't have any time to fix this right now...
