Swedish Class Julen

Today was fun in my Swedish class we got to go over our work first half and the second half we got treated to Swedish saffron buns, and a rice pudding that I already forgot the name to, and Julen songs as well. I always enjoy my Swedish class it makes me happy, and the first year and second year classes where combined and it was nice for everyone to share a bit about the holiday traditions. A bit of feeling like home or belonging to a group.

But the feeling is much stronger when I cross Arlanda airport in Stockholm. As soon as I set foot in T-Central I feel so at home. Even more when I drop off my luggage at the hotel and start walking around and breathing in the much cleaner air, the less populated city, the marvel of the old building structures, such beauty of old and new. I do love when old and new is together in harmony. Its another reason I love Japan, some day I will go and visit and get fat on all the food. But for now Stockholm is home, and learning Swedish is a priority for me. And thankfully its not unwanted but instead cheerished and I look forward to it allot!

I did enjoy the saffron buns and the pearl sugar, but the rice pudding had too much milk for me but I cant have it with out it hurting my stomach which was a shame. But it was a wonderful time tonight <3
