Fast news before Roma!

Hej Hej!

Sorry for those two weeks without news.

First of all let’s go back two weeks ago on the Thursday. Every year in Stockholm there is a little international skiing competition in the middle of Stockholm, around the king’s place. That’s the reason why two weeks ago was surrounded by artificial snow whereas the weather was around 10 degrees. I watch the final with some friends, it wasn’t a huge competition but it was really fun to see all that snow in the middle of the city with this nice weather. A Norwegian athlete won the competition.

Two days later, on the Saturday, a movie was played in my street and in my school, for this occasion there were false snow and cameras in a part of the street and the school as you can see on the pictures. The movie’s name is “hypnotisören” and it’s a story from the same name’s book wrote by Karl Kepler. (“the hypnotist” in English, “l’hypnotiseur” in French) A famous Swedish actor was also there: Mikael Persbrandt.

On the following Sunday I’ve been watching my little host sister playing soccer and she plays really well!

Concerning the weather, the nice days start to arrive: More sun and between 5 to 15 degrees even if we had a “last” small snow storm on Monday.

Anyway Wednesday I’m  going to Roma for 8 days with my class and I think that it’s gonna be awesome!

See you in 2 weeks so and enjoy the nice weather!

Snow rugby in Finland



view of Jyväskylä



Hej hej!

After one week I finally find the courage to write a new article about my rugby’s tournament in Finland.

So on Thursday evening (2 weeks ago) we were 9 guys of my team reunited in order to take the ferry boat to Finland to play a 7 player’s rugby’s tournament. After a wonderful and small night on the ferry we arrived at 6 o’clock Swedish time in the harbor of Turku, situated in the North on Helsinki. From there we had to take a bus to go to the city of Jyväskylä (middle of Finland). After 5 hours of sleeping we arrived at our hotel and had some great time at the sauna and at the swimming pool.



preparation before the match



Friday morning, after a good night and a great breakfast we took the bus to go to the tiny skiing station of the city where the two rugby’s fields were situated. Here the weather was perfect and the temperature was around minus 2 degrees.

Many people were there, maybe 200. Our first match was at 9.20 so we get prepared, trained and then we played our three matches during the morning… And we loosed everything. But I should say that we were all 18-19 years old and it was a Senior tournament so we only played against some 25-35 years old guys! Anyway, after a cold afternoon to wait to watch the final we’ve all been to the tournament party in a night club of the city and it was pretty cool.

After a short night we took the bus on Sunday morning to get back to the harbor and take the ferry again. We arrived at Stockholm Monday morning at 7 o’clock local time, one hour before starting school. Obviously Monday was a tough day and my bed was really welcome after school.

Thanks to this tournament I discovered Finland and it’s also really beautiful! (But I prefer Sweden!)

Those days with my team also created a real team spirit and cohesion in our group which will be, I think, really important for next season! Thank you very much to Hammaby rugby and to Johnny for this trip!

Otherwise we now have nice weather in Stockholm (5-10 degrees) and the following weeks (in two weeks and after) will be really full especially by my trips to Roma, to Copenhagen, the visit of my family and the visit of Marie!!!

To finish this article I just would like to wish a Happy birthday to my little sister Camille who turn  15 tomorrow!

See you soon!
