different ways of life.

hej hej.
i was a little bored today, so i came up with a list of differences between Australia and Sveeeden. and i would like to share them with you ( i know, how lovely of me).

1. The Weather. this is a major difference. Its summer in Australia right now, so that means 40degrees, going to the river and just chilling. i'm also chilling here in Sweden, but in a different way. take some snow, more snow, and a little more snow, add some coldness to that, and a little bit of wind, and ta-da, you have a swedish winter. its fine when your inside, as everywhere is really well heated, but get ready to freeze your little doinky-doink off when you go outside.
2. Fashion. i love the swedish fashion, its really nice. An australian winter consists of some old trackies, a hoodie and some ripped uggs, maybe a pair of jeans if you want to look nice. swedish winter fashion is stockings, dresses, tights, jackets, jeans, t-shirts, boots, nice uggs-everything except hoodies and trackies. i do love the swedish fashion, except i feel like im so under-dressed. i also miss my uggies that i had to leave at home. sad face.
3. Public transport. oh my gosh, its so so much easier. take the school bus for example, if you miss it in australia your, to put it nicely, screwed. if you miss it in sweden, its ok, there will be another one in 2o mins, and 20mins after that, and 20mins after that.....
4. School. i don't even know where to start with school. australia wears uniforms, sweden doesn't. i enjoy wearing whatever i want, but its annoying having to chose what to wear, and since i dont have that many clothes, i pretty much wear the same thing every week. i do miss having a uniform. In australia, we bring lunch to school, here in Sweden, we have a cafeteria where the food is cooked for us. I have to say, the food is better then what i expected. Its not like on t.v shows, where it's some old lunch lady serving slop, the food it actually quite good. there is the odd day where you dont want to eat the food, so you just have the yogurt or bread or salad. the timetable in australia is the same everyday. 8:45-3:25, 5 periods a day, monday - friday. here, it changes everyday. for example, i'll share with you my mondays- History 11:00-12:20, english 1:05-2:05, circus 2:30-4. so we have breaks in between class, where we would have lunch, maybe go into town, or just chill at the school cafe. i quite like the swedish school system, much better then australian.
5. Food. i think the food is much healthier then australian. they eat a lot of fish, bread, yogurt, cheese and potatos. but then again, we do fika a lot which, for me, involves a hot chocolate, and chokladbollar (they are amazing!). fika can have healthy food too, but you dont have that as much.
6. heres just some little things. they drive on the wrong side if the road, and the steering wheel is on the left, front doors open the opposite way, the traffic lights go orange before the go green (red, orange, green, orange, red. if that makes sence haha), many more people smoke, they have showers at school, and they have automatic opening doors at school that you use a swipy card to open, they think australia is little, and everyone is like crocodile dundee.

thats all i can remember right now. i'm sure i'll discover more as i've been here longer. On tuesday, i have been here for 1 month, its gone very fast, and has been great. i say, bring on the next 11!
