Hi Guys!! We all are enjoying our stay in Sweden..The Swedes are taking a very good care of us... We arrived Sweden on 4th May, in the afternoon, and experienced a little chill-ey weather. (and were very happy! ;) :P ) We attended the welcome dinner that night, at Tumba Gymnasium. The next morning, 5th of May, we visited the Old Town, and we were told about the great History of how Stockholm was formed and how it all started... We enjoyed it a lot! We spend about an hour in old town and then we set out for "Skansen" by Boat! It was a lovely experience when we could actually have a view of the whole Stockholm city while we were in the water! That was the apt time to realise why Stockholm is called 'a city built on islands' and we did! :)
We had lunch in Skansen and began sightseeing. Skansen is not just a zoo, but lot more. I think it is one of the best places which depict Sweden's ancient culture and traditions! We saw a lot of common and uncommon animals, (which were really cute, and some of them,- HUGE) and at the same times, we went into the traditional hut-like wooden houses to see the sciences behind Swedish cultural activities! We came to know how glass articles and crockery is made, how different cakes, sweets and cookies are baked, furniture-house, pottery and sooooo many other things!
After te zoo, we went to Kungstradgarden, which is a beautiful place with cherry-blossom plantation and a lovely lake nearby! We clicked loadz of pictures there and enjoyed the natural beauty... Soon after that, we went to exchange our money to Swedish Krone's,(Quite an important job!) and went home after that.
On 6th, we enjoyed our Sunday with the families! On 7th of May, we had lectures in Tumba Gymnasium about Swedish History and Technology used in Education system is Tumba. We had lunch after the lectures got over and played some games together on the playground, (that involved basketball) and had a lot of fun! Soon after that, we attended a Welcome function at Sodra Latin Gymnasium.
On 8th of May, we had lessons about 'Swedish cuisine' in Tumba Gymnasium, and we learnt a lot of things! We actually came to know how the different food that Swedes today indulge, emerged from time-to-time along the necessities of time and situations. :) We had lunch next, and set out for the Traditional Swedish Camp for a dance lesson! We were actually taught Traditional Swedish Dance by old couples in their seventies! They were amazingly very much enthusiastic and had a lot of spirit and energy while they dance! They were very good dance teachers as well, since they could teach us the dance steps in no time! We enjoyed a lot there! After we had danced again and enough, we left the place to go for a little shopping, which, of-course,we enjoyed a lot!
On 9th, i.e. today, we had a lecture in Sodra Latin Gymnasium, about Cultural Differences between India and Sweden. Soon after that, we had lunch and left for "Glass House" to learn about Water circulation system in Sweden which was very interesting! :)
So far, we have enjoyed the stay a lot, and we believe it is going to be the same till the end!
