Good morning Sweden!

So, hej hej everybody!
I'm sorry for this long time without news but so much things happened these 5 last days! I will try to resume it in english...
So first I arrived well in Arlanda Airport wednesday and we (me and the 4 others friends) were welcoming by the rain (and also by YFU members).
Then we moved to Kärsögården (3 first photo), an island next to Stockholm and next to the royal residence. We stayed in this place 3 days and it was really wonderful! The fact to meet students from all around the world who will live the same experience is fantastic! There was a real "melting-pot" of cultures and languages. So during these 3 days we had swedish lessons, speaking times to discover swedish cultures, we made differents activities in order to discover everybody and it was a really nice time! The YFU members was young, very sociable, funny and open minded!
These days was the occasion to get up at 4h30 in order to see the sunrise and to swim in one of the stockholm lake, to fall in love with the "sauna", to have dinner at 6 in the afternoon and to discover the typicall swedish "fika" many times a day! (So a fika is a type of break where we eat and drink with everybody and you has it about 3 times a day!)
After these days full of meetings and happiness, saturday I meet my host family...
A part of the students who "live" in another part of Sweden leaved Kärsögården by train or plane and the others ( like me ) who live next to Stockholm leaved Kärsögården by car with our host family!
So now I live in a great place in the center of Stockholm! My host family is very nice and sunday we spended the day in their summer house on an island in the archipelago of Stockholm! (last photo on the right Side: view from the garden) It is a very very kind place where you can fish and go boating.
What about school? I will start it thursday 18th and I will study at Norra Real, a school that has a very good reputation! Furthermore this school is just in front of the appartment! But I will write an article about it this weekend! 
I didn't really have the time to visitm stockholm so I will put photos of Stockholm later.

 see you

  2. wesh cousin !! ca farte ? dis ca a l'air dingue comme truc !! bon j'espère que tu vas bien t'éclater à Stockholm (c'est qd même plus cool d'être ds la capitale que près du cercle polaire :) et que ton année se présent bien (apparemment oui d'après ce que j'ai lu). J'ai vu que Marie t'écrivait, ce qui m'a fait penser qu'on sait toujours pas si elle est rentrée à Sciences Po ! J'espère pour elle que oui, et si c'est le cas, tu sais que vous pouvez sur nous pour dépanner en cas de pépin... voili voilou, j'espère avoir de tes nouvelles bientôt,
    ton cousin, Vincent.
