Hej,
 
Well, this time next month I’ll hopefully be blogging from Sweden (quite a scary thought).
 
As far as preparation is concerned, I’ve done as much as I can. My student visa is still awaiting approval, but there’s no use me worrying about that anymore.
 
Anyway, here’s my flight itinerary for the Sweden Trip:
 
Wed 4th January:
Melbourne–>Singapore (I’m catching […]



Day 50 - I’m coming home! :D

Wow, It’s been 50 days. Seems like such a huge number. I’m really looking forward to sleeping at home, wearing shorts and a singlet, thongs and swimming pools. All the little things. It’s time to come home.
 
My flights home will be pretty hectic, and because I can’t be bothered writing out my schedule again, i’ll […]

The past few days seems a bit of a blur, but I can remember visiting the scottish parliament house and walking up an incredibly steep mountain. Emily and I also had some lovely hot chocolate (i’ll put a photo up because it was absolutely HUGE!).
 
Yesterday my cousin-in-law Mark finished his exams. To celelbrate we went […]



Day 35 - Wandering around Edinburgh City

It’s cold.
 
Very cold.
 
It got down to minus 3 degrees last night, so as you can imagine I was a little hesitant to go outside in fear of loosing a few minor limbs to frostbite.
Believe it or not, there were cars driving down the street outside our house that were entirely covered in frost. I think […]
