Quick update

I watched 7 movies in a row. New record thanks to video-on-demand on Singapore Airlines! Doesn't do much good for the eyes though.

Arrived in Jonkoping sometime around noon, had Serene's wonderful contact pick us up from Jonkoping airpot. Her name's Annika and she's really nice. She basically brought us around the campus and showed us around, day 1 wouldn't have gone by so smoothly had it not been for her. She brought along her son as well when she came to pick us up, he's 5 and his name is Issac and he's the most adorable, energetic and talkative kid I've ever met.

I was offered a room in this place called Dalvik. It's on a hill top and has a park right outside. The weather's pretty mild, about -2 degrees when we arrived. Nothing you can't handle with some extra layers. I do think it's good for the skin though so I'm looking forward to have my complexion clear up (hopefully) heh heh heh. Cost of living here is pretty high, and even the food from the supermarket isn't all that cheap. I'll have to watch my spending carefully if I want to keep my bank account out of the red.

Took some quick shots of my room after I unpacked and I dare say it should be pretty cosy for the next 6 months. Although I'm a little sore about the fact that I couldn't arrive earlier so the MUCH bigger room was taken by my roommate, this guy from Germany. He's a really nice guy though and it's not like I need the extra space, although it would be nice if you know what I mean. From looking through the door I could see that his room also has some extra furnitures such as a coffee table and a sofa couch. Otherwise we share the rest of the apartment which includes a balcony, kitchen and bathroom.

Now I just have to get my internet up and running before I can get online. I think I'm an internet addict because right now I feel really naked without my broadband connection.

*Update - Internet finally up and running, thus this post (duh). Off to sleep now, pictures and more updates to follow.
