Final thoughts

Erasmus life is not the real life... it's a life with a lot of fun and without the usual problems, everybody is happy and available... it's a situation where you can test yourself in a new environment and in a new society, it's a parallel dimension where you can reinvent yourself with new people, it's an experience where you can find yourself or, maybe, loose yourself as well. Erasmus life is perfect because is short and because it's not true... but like everything that is perfect it could be boring to be forever... so it's also good that it has been so brief!
In this way we will have a fantastic souvenir!

Sweden is a really good country for the Erasmus... very well organized, with helpful people, fair society and fantastic landscapes... but common! It is not perfect, you can't drink in the open air! ;-)
It's also good to be at home under some points of view, isn' it?!

I feel very strange now, at home. I feel like I have never left and, on the other hand, it's seems to me that I have always lived in Sweden... that a big part of my life has been in Orebro, living with my roommates in Brickenbacken, staying in the campus with my friends. I will never forget all this relaxing world!

In the beginning i did this blog for the people in Italy, in order to let them know what I was doing in Sweden... but now I realized that I did it also for me, for all of us (that's way i wrote in English)! I would like that this blog become a space of our souvenirs and dreams... a space of thoughts and considerations about this experience that will be always inside ourselves.

I know that visiting this blog can make us feel very sad... looking at the pictures makes me feel nostalgic and sometimes I would like to come back... but it's an happy sadness! Think about how much we would miss if we didn't do this Erasmus!

I'm waiting for comments...

because I miss you and I want we keep in touch!

Good Bye Friends!
Cecilia

The End

And now it's really finishing... It's time to say goodbye to Sweden, to say goodbye to a lot of friends from all the world and to say farewell to the Erasmus Life.

It's time to wake up from the Swedish dream,
It's time to come back to the real life,
It's time to continue, or to leave, our previous dreams...
with more open minded points of view,
with more strength and autonomy,
with an experience more in ourselves...

Bye Bye Orebro!

Churros for breakfast!

What a fantastic idea to have a spanish breakfast together! Churros and hot-chocolate is an healthy and light meal to perfectly "begin" (it was 13 o clock!) the day! Delicious...

Too many goodbyes...

As you can see, we cooked a lot during our last days (that's way everybody, only girls, got some kilos more!)... Thanks Alberto for the Migas! Despite the mess of flour and water everywhere it was really good!!

The last days...

The last ten days nobody had nothing to do, the weather was perfect and we spent the time going to the lake and to the city center buying the last (stupid) souvenirs (reinders, mooses, vikings... ). Here a pictures of a nice Medieval market in Wadkoping and of the lake in the summer time!

Last Babar + afterparty in the fountain!

Babar this night was full of crazy exchange students having their last night of dance in Sweden!
Matteo wanted to kiss everybody (maybe because of the fear of loosing the love of all of us... or maybe simply because of the rhum, i don't know...)

And then... where can we go for the afterparty? It's warm outside... so what about taking a bath in the fountain in front of the university? No comment for the mess we did...

singing...

"Erasmus life is the best life,
Erasmus life is the best life,
without (e)studing... (without (e)studing!)
without working... (without working!)
wiiiith a bottle of rhum!
wiiiith a bottle of rhum!"

bbq+laundryparty=crazy pictures!

Here we are doing the last BBQ... a lot of people has already left and the atmosphere is a bit sad... it's difficult to live the present and to enjoy the last moments without thinking that all this perfect life is finishing...
But anyway it's always time to invent new parties! And Spanish are often the best in this activity! Look at us doing party in the laundry... a fantastic place where we can put music without disturbing people living in Brickenbronx, and (why not) where we can try new experiences like discovering how to fell to be a cloth!

Modern art museum + Arkitecture museum= cultural afternoon

Coming back from Tallin I was alone in Stockholm and I decided to have a full immersion of culture...
5 hours in the Modern Art Museum and in the Arkitecture Museum! It was quite difficult to understand everything, in particular the second one... I really would liked my favourite architect with me... :-(

TALLIN TRIP!

For the end of the exams I gave myself a present: a trip in Tallin, the capital of Estonia. It's a beautiful medieval (14-15 century) city very coloured and touristic!
Really something that I didn't expect! I was with my roommate
Amelie and her nice french friends Gaby and Vanessa!

Swedish style!!!

Hej Hej!!! For the last night in Koren we decided to do something special! We imitated the swedish girls style... orrible dress and leggings!
Look at the picture... don't we are exactly like swedish girls??? Ok, maybe we miss some centimetres of high, but we are almost perfect!

The last Tybble Party...

Sadely the dream is finishing... This was the last Tybble party! We'll never forget the good time we had here organizing crazy theme parties!
Our best boys performed some particular strip showes...
I have all the video that I'll put on utube as soon I will collect all the authorizations!
Here you can just see some previews...

Alessandro in Orebro!!!

Ale came to visit me! We had a lot of fun... too much I would say! He passed on me all his unhealthy way of life!
I'm trying to recover now...

Mushroom

We went to the Mushroom, symbol of the greatness of Orebro!
The view is beautiful... you can see the lake, and the city with all its coloured little houses!

Malmo, Copenaghen, Gotland, Stockolm, Upsala trip!

It's quite impossible to describe the thousand adventures we spent together...
let the pictures speak...
