Homecoming


And just like that I was back home in Sweden again. Feels great to be back. Seems though that I missed the heatwave of the summer when it was 30 degrees here for a while, but it will probably come back soon. Now its sunny but not so warm and the coming days is gonna be rainy. But it's really green here anyway, something I missed seeing because its so dull-green-ish in Perth.

The first weekend I came home I went up to Carolines place in Dalarna where its even more green. Was great seeing her again coz of course, I've totally missed her like craaaaazy. We went to this big party during the national day at her friends parents place where we had a "questionaire-walk" in the forrest, where all the guests tried their best to answer questions no one on earth could know the answers too :p. At least not us. But its more for fun so. Then we started with the drinks and the barbecue which was greeeeeeeat! We had made some thai marinated chicken, sallad with bulgur and Carolines awesome tzatziki. After the dinner the games started, when everyone had become just enough tipsy. The games involved Stövelkastning (throwing a rubber boot over your back), running in slalom with a big tire, running to a big water filled bucket and filling it and then running back with the bottle between your legs to fill another bucket, aiming a long plastic pipe with the pipe held between the legs and aiming it onto a nail stuck on a plank 2 meters up in the air. It was awesomely fun. We were separated in three teams; Yellow, Blue and Orange. And he he, surprisingly (not really), my team won. Which felt great :p I think Carolines team cheated pretty much :D

After the games everyone took place in a big trailer that was pulled by a tractor and we headed to a big Rockabilly party out in a place called Turbo. I've never been to anything like that before so it was really fun. The company was awesome and Carolines friends were really nice. After that us youngsters went home to this couple who had a house close-by and we ended the party there.

Other stuff we did was to make awesome dinners, we painted with acrylic colours, played with the cat Bastien, watched movies and just spent a lot of time together. It's so relaxing to be there and i really feel well when I'm there. <3

Oh yeah, when I arrived in Sweden Lopez picked me up. My parents had no idea that i was coming home so we were gonna surprise them. I let Lopez ring the doorbell and my dad opened the door and Lopez said that he was just gonna leave something there and then I walked out from behind and said that I was also gonna leave something and my dad became really surprised haha and said: But are you here?! ?!? haha. Then i went to my mom who was still sleeping and sat ont he bed next to her and just said Moooooom! and she turned over and said WHAT ARE U DOING HERE U ARE CRAZY!! haha. They were still surprised that i was there a day after.

I also met some friends which is really nice to see again. Now i can't wait until i get home "for real" and can start really living here which i discovered that i really want. There's so much stuff I want to do and experience here that I never had an idea that I wanted before. I know what I need and want more now.

"throwing a rubber boot over your back"
- I give up, you swedes are something else, thats for sure!
I wonder who came up with that. I'm thinking something like:

-So, Johan, this party sucks, what can we do to liven this crazy korv-fest up?
-Oh, Nils, I have the perfect idea! Lets throw sneakers as far as we can!
-But I just bought new sneakers yesterday! But I have some rubber boots laying around in the shed!
-What a GREAT idea!!

*Rubber boot throwing officially invented*
