eskapad av Europa

Imagine running in the early hours of the day with a surrounding temperature of only 5 degrees celsius.. the feeling of having cold air beating against your face whilst running and yet not a single drop of sweat at all after that is absolutely brilliant.. Well that's what i did exactly... ran to and back from campus which is like 2-3 km away... guess i'll try to keep up with this regime as and when i can afford the time...

Anyway, had an enjoyable time at Martin's place last night... he invited most of his current and previous exchange students to his apartment down town... Martins's apartment was even more spacious than our dorm.. and he had like a HUGE collection of pirated DVDs and a variety of game consoles like the antique Nintendo, PS2, Gamecube etc.. coupled with his newly won 42" Flat Screen TV... Well, each one of us had to prepare a dish.. kinda like potluck in singapore... I was in charge of making Swedish meatballs under the careful guidance of Martin... and i had to say it was a good first attempt.. i kinda grasp the secret recipe... Laughter and music filled the night and i gotta know a couple more new friends...

My Masterpiece..

Checked out the Mac at campus and the Burger King down town.. realised that the normal meals here usually cost around 50 Kronor (equivalent to around 10 sgd).. the Burger King here charges 5 kronor for the use of its washroom!! However, it's pretty cool when you get to play Gamecube for free.. And to justify my previous post on the Swedish being environmental friendly... they actually clear their own trays into bins for different materials.. And over at the grocery store, we spotted a machine meant for collecting recycled cans or bottles... Apparently, the people here pay a higher price for the beverages at the grocery store but they do get reimbursed as long as they bring the used containers down for recycling... COOL stuff! =)
