skiing in the middle of exam week and more food!
this is gonna be a quick post! we just came back from a skiing trip to Säfsen, some place north of stockholm. It's a 3.5 hour drive away from here and it's actually a kind of resort. It's weird to see snow when all the snow around here has melted and it isn't even cold up there.the bus left at 6am for the resort. the days over here are getting longer and longer and 6am means sunrise. the sunrise here is really beautiful and colourful. i couldn't capture a good shot of it..only managed to get the side of it. wrong side of the bus. bleah..
these are some photos of the ski slopes and the surrounding. it was in the mountains and really refreshing.
something interesting..as seen in the bottom left corner photos, there was a car park full of caravans! it's really cool. imagine just driving up there to camp in ur caravan and ski for the weekend!
and that's us on the skis. skiing is pretty fun but difficult. and really tiring. i've got aching legs now, either from having to carry the skis up the slopes at the beginning. ah boy would have loved this! there were little kids one quarter my height who skiied like experts! haha.
anyway..it is the middle of exam week. i just had my first exam here yesterday! it wasn't anything too tough..i just needed 4 marks to pass. and i had 4 hours to write that 4 marks. obviously i did more than 4 marks worth of questions! haha. i love the system here.
there's the exam hall in the bottom left corner photo. the good thing about the exam hall was that you could bring in food and the table's huge..like twice the size of the little table we get at NUS and that means you can just spread ur papers out instead of worring about things dropping all over the place. the examiner also didn't say start or whatever..just give out the papers and you start when you want to. you have 4 hours after all. the bush figures are these things that have popped up in school over the week, in toilets, classrooms, simply everywhere! and people have been vandalizing it. haha. i have no idea what they're for!
and finally, the weekly update of what we've been consuming.
