One Night in Jönköping

Hej Hej!



I've been shown most of the ropes already! Its only my 3rd or 4th day in Jönköping and I'm almost sorted. I have high speed internet, a mobile and sim card and my room has been deck out with some neat IKEA stuff. Yesterday we had orientation which consisted of some people telling us everything we need to know (all that and a bag 'o chips), followed by an hour long wait in the JuNet line to get our internet, which was a one off payment of 99:-!! Then me, Perri and Anya (from swinny) went to "Willy's" and prepared a faboulous Salmon meal which was fucking good, accompanied by this berry flavoured cider (oh yeh guys i am in CIDER HEAVEN in Sweden, but they love the pear one the most in Jönköping.



Then we went upstairs in building 84 (my builing) to Mads' apartment. Mads is a Dansih guy that everyones favourite Canadian jock, Daniel introduced us too. Mads' aparetment is deck out in a way that puts all our rooms to shame. he has a plasma screen TV, a cow skins rug, wooden floors, a private balcony, and self done pop-art paintings on the walls. Its hot. So anyways he was having a pre's party before we were going to go out to Akademien, which is a student night club (and the only place to get cheap drinks in Jönköping for students). Jessica (also from swinny) and Dave rocked up, and Mads' roommate Burak who is a Swedish born Turk that has lived in america (so he has a real yanky accent, but very cool guy) was joinin' in on the action.



Then Perri, Anya and I head off for Akademien, via some moudly old snow, Maccas and this crazy Swedish fastfood place called Max (where you get a free toothbrush with your "MaxBox"). We rocked up at Aka late as all hell, and were greeted by an increasing drunk group of friends, i met some swedes and Micheal my Lithuanian roommate was there with his old friend Elaina. We danced like crazy drunk swedes for a bit and then at around 2 (which is when we THOUGHT the last bus left) we decided to get the bus. But it wasnt there!! So we ran around for a bit and then we ended up grabbing a cab. but there was 7 of us, and Scandiavian taxis are well designed and compact. so.. um.. WTF?! This driver was awsome though, he let us cran 7 into the space for 4 and he drove us all the way to Råslätt (about 15 mins) for only 300:- (which we drunkenly split between us) Then Anya was flirting with this guy from Boston and he was all like "come to my room" and I was all like "BP shes watching GG with me in 84, fuck off!"

Then i fell asleep during GG. :)
