Lund is beautiful! I got a grand tour of the city by my host, Stellan. I am staying with him and his wife, Susan for two nights before I can move into the dorms. The city is so old and Stellan knows his history well. I can hardly believe that I have only been here for a day. It feels like I been here for a while because I have been on the move ever since I arrived. Stellan drove me around the city so I could get a sense of how big it is and the layout; his tour worked and I already feel so comfortable here. The university is incredible. The buildings are so old and established and the campus is right in the city. It is a very small city, so I think I will be able to find my way around very easily. Stellan and Susan live very close and it will be nice to have them so near in case I need anything. I know that I will love it here!
I just got a taste of a very strong Danish schnapps of some sort and I can feel it throughout my body. Apparently drinking is a very big part of Swedish culture, and I don’t know if I will be able to keep up!
I have found that I can understand many words when I see them in writing, but when people say something it sounds like gibberish to me. For instance, Cykel Parkerings Förbud, means Bike Parking Forbidden.
Tomorrow is registration and I am very excited to find out where I will be living and what classes I will be taking. I will also get to meet my mentors and fellow international students.
