After Egypt I stayed in London for a week. The main reason for staying was to attend a recruitment fair for international schools that was being held over the weekend. The fair is for teachers and international schools from all over the world to meet, find out about vacancies, apply for positions and have interviews. I was obviously hoping to find a job in Berlin. As it turned when the list of attending schools was published, there were no Berlin schools coming. Since I had already signed up I decided to go anyway just for the experience. I met lots of teachers teaching all over the place, attended some information sessions and had an interview for a job in Portugal and one in Dusseldorf (neither of which I was actually qualified for and therefor had any chance of getting).

Saturday night was a social event, drinks for an hour beween 6.30 and 7.30. Just a chance for people to chat informally. I talked to a few people and somehow managed to down four drinks in the hour. From there I went straight to Jo's where I was handed a glass of wine. A girl I had met on the Egypt tour came along as well and we had a night out in Clapham Junction. Unfortunately everywhere we went it seemed to be last drinks so we moved aorund a bit. Everybody insisted that I keep up with them drinking perhaps not really realising that I was already 4 drinks ahead of them. I think we had a good night, from what I remember anyway...

Apart from that I went to see a couple of movies at my favourite cinema, The prince charles, I saw The Reader and Che part 1 and 2. I also went back to the Bristish Museum to see all the treasures that the British have 'stolen' from other cultures over the years. I went spcifically to see the Egyptian section including the Sphinx's beard and the Rosetta stone. I walked around the park in Hampstead Heath one day and generally had a lovely time enjoying the nice spring weather.

Exactly one week later I was also greeted with lovely spring weather in Sweden and if I had thought London was green, it was nothing compared to Sweden. The whole place was just blooming and was absolutely beautiful. I spent my time with my family, trying to study some German and trying to understand German apartment websites with the help of my aunt Helen! As I said the weather was lovely... except of sourese the day that I helped plant apple trees.. that day it rained!! Kalle and Marta had 3500 apple trees delivered frozen from Belgium, they had to sit in water for three days and then were to be planted in rows with a metre between each one. I was out there in the rain, digging holes and planting trees for at least five hours with my Farmor (dad's mum) who I have to admit is much stronger and fitter than me!
