3rd letter to family
We reached Sweden yesterday and we are currently in Gothenburg. It’s a pretty good city, sort of like a university town. There are a lot of shopping places and cafes and bars so it’s a pretty relaxed environment. We have 3 days here and 2 of them are over. Today is our last day and night and tomorrow we’ll be driving to Oslo.
Although we don’t really have much planned for these cities, it’s still a lot of fun to just take a map and go walking around the streets. So many of the buildings are made from red bricks with bronze roofs that have turned green. Even the most ordinary buildings look beautiful to us and we keep taking a lot of pictures - just like typical tourists.
I’m still mesmerized by the weather here though. Sometimes it’s so freezing cold that i can’t wait to go inside. But other times the strong wind is so refreshing that i just stand for a while taking it all in. Even the sunlight is different somehow. Just the fact that we can be walking around the streets with the sun still in the sky at 8:00pm is funny and exciting. In singapore it’s dark and all the street lights are on. Here it’s bright but most of the shops are closed.
Today we might be going to tour the archipelago around the city. I’ll tell you how it goes after that.
Oh and if you are gonna call me can you call at like 7:30 or 8:00 am your time. I think that will be about 5:30 or 6:00 am for me and that’s when i usually wake up here. Also, let me know the day before when you are going to call so i’ll keep an eye on my phone.
