... us not only works for Vattanfall, but is also an UWP alum! Small world! We (UWP) are here to help celebrate Vattanfall's 100th birthday. Every place that we are traveling to in Europe is a major Vattanfall company city. We will perform as part of an event; we are not the event. The entire event is in response to the needs of Vattanfall employees; to become a more personal company, to meet head staff of the company, to feel appreciated. The entire event is comprised of speakers ...

So. If you ever visit the Nordic Countries, a great way to see some of the main port cities is to take a cruise. There are a few ways to do this, and it just so happens that Pauliina's sister works for one of these major cruise lines. <br><br>You can book a cruise one way, hang out in a city for a few days, and then go back, or go somewhere else. OR you can do what Pauliina and I did, and just did the day tour ...

... parts in stone, others in wood, a room halfway up with busts of council members, a maze-like section, and a great view from the top! <br><br>We went to the Vasa museum, which has a 17th Century warship which was raised from the seabed only a few decades ago after being sunk by the Polish. I did not really think that this would be very interesting, but it was fantastic! It was enormous, and very awe ...

... I was taking pictures and had this funny idea where the boys would bend down and make it look like they were wearing the crowns. Then an announcement came on saying not to take pictures. But I was already set on taking this picture. The boys took too long for me to be sneaky about it so right after I took it the announcement came on again and I put away my camera quick! The crown jewels were beautiful and we each picked ...

... ready to start the day. Around 8:45 we both left to walk to the G.E. Facility. It was about a 5 minute walk to G.E. from our apartment. While Jon was busy working away - I walked to a grocery store about 10 minutes away from our apartment. It was rather difficult deciding what to make and then finding the ingredients. I bought a can of meatballs (I was trying to buy meatball sauce), canned peas (they were hard not squishy), milk, mayo (which the initial ...

... crowd and creating wilder and wilder excuses to get away from the annoying Swedish girl. And that was the Estonia trip. Twas a particularly epic night. Nights like that seem to happen a lot in Sweden, it's a pretty crazy country. In other news I've started learning Swedish and uni has started with a vengeance. Everyone here actually studies, its horrible! But it's all more or less group work so far which is fun and makes it easier than it should be. Cyas all, hope you're well.

... see working as the most important part of going (as in, none of us are there to party for 3 months). - I'm afraid of bugs, she's not. ;) - She's afraid of lizzards, I'm not. :D - We have about the same amount of money to spend (meaning, not nearly enough to cover the expenses for three months in Israel. In God we trust! :D) Stuff like that. The only thing we found out that we don't have in ...

This was a good week. I did lots of stuff and saw a lot of people and had fun like I did when I first got here. I didn't go to the Nation to Nation party last Tuesday. We just stayed in that night. By staying in, I mean that we went down to Juve for a drink where we played this dice game called "Farkel" that Meg's mom brought for her. It was fun. I think that I went to bed pretty early that night, it was good. Wednesday, I had my one and only class, then I think I ...

... up to the area of Tampere and fly back from Tampere to Germany. Stockholm was our first stop at that trip, where we met an old friend of mine, Nadja. Nadja showed us some parts of the city, a place I haven't seen since I've been on a foreign exchange program for one weekend when I was 12 years old. Stockholm is a very nice city. Of course very cold at that time of the year as well. We ...
