-I'm here! Lund is beautiful and has cobblestone streets and "hella" old churches (two from the medieval ages) and chemists, not drugstores... Everything is so green here- almost every residential window has a plant in it, plus there are so many trees and plants everywhere! Lots of roses in bloom... I love it. I have so many stories of history of Lund that are probably not as interesting as I think they are... stuff about nations and monarchies and the freeway that was the north sea, back when boats were the NBT (next big thing, for those "unhip")
-A bottle of Guinness in a bar costs around 5 bucks but you can get a sixer for between seven and eight. Liquor is very very expensive here and a Swedish student told us that they can rent a van and pay for gas to get to Germany and buy the alcohol there and it's still cheaper than buying it here! Wow. people go to such lengths to drink. whatever.
-Classes so far have been orientation stuff and history and massive Swedish language course, too. It's not too hard since the structure is the same as English and I have tons of experience learning mediocre language skills. : ) you know what i mean. (probably)
In terms of the sunlight thing, the sun rises around 4a but sets around 1am. It's twilight for like two hours before it's actually dark! Very odd- some people took maps after dinner and woke up thinking it was morning... but it was 11pm and the sun was just getting misty-eyed.
-I need to finish making dinner in my ultra IKEA kitchen that was provided, so I love you and will write more as soon as my internet gets set up,
peace, pace, paz, paix, fred
