Adjö Sweden!!!

Our last official day in Sweden started really early. "Tack" to Chloe for waking us all up :). After breakfast it was our usual dash for the bus, but we can proudly say that on this last day we were half an hour early!!!! We had a morning session with an anthropologist Anya who spoke to us about the unwritten rules of society and the reaction caused when any of these rules are broken. We had to introduce ourselves and share a similar experience, or exchange places with like minded people. At the end it got a bit confusing to know who was up next because of all the seat changing, nonetheless it was really fun. After that we had a history lesson with Mattias where he spoke about the history of the capital city, how it got its name, interesting events that took place there and soo much more. He told us that the Vikings, who most of us think of as scary people who just plunder and destroy, were actually farmers. Who would have thought right? Personally the most interesting part was when he told us about Gustav Adolf's crazy family. After that it was time for lunch. Everyone was a wee bit tensed because after lunch we had to show our presentations on the project assigned to us. It was all fine and everyone's presentations were a success. We had refection time after that where we discussed what we learned in Sweden, and how we had decreased our prejudices of other cultures. Before our farewell dinner at Sodra Latin, we had a bit of time to ourselves to do some last minute shopping. Dinner at Sodra Latin was really nice and towards the end everyone got emotional. Ma'am Kiran, ma'am Sobita, our resident pianist Vanessa and a few other students( sorry guys too many names) sang the song 'Ajeeb Dastan' and even the strongest hearts broke down and wept. With tears streaming down our face, giving each other final hugs and promises to see each other again we parted ways. And with a final view of the Old City, we made our way back to our ship to pack our bags, ending one of the most memorable trips of our lives. All the memories we all made there will always remain in our hearts, as will all our Swedish friends and everyone we have had the honour of meeting.
Ajöken! Vi ses senare!
