For all those who are watching this page, I am posting the link to my picture pages. This way, I won't have to send an e-mail every time I create a new album! The links are in blue in the description, below the two pictures.

The Germans in Lund

It is quite remarkable how many German students there are in Lund. Almost one international student out of three is from Germany. It is nice to meet so many Germans, as it is a fascinating country, but it also has it's downsides. For example, when I'm hanging out at Spoletorp, there's always a bunch of German students in the kitchen and, most of the time, they talk among themselves in German. This has happened a few times when I was actually the only non-german speaker in the room. I didn't feel included at that time, and so I try to always speak english even when I'm with French speakers. I think this is a question of respect, because nobody likes feeling left out, especially when you're in a foreign country where you don't know anybody. On the other hand, when they actually do speak english, all those German people are quite nice and friendly!

Explanation note / Note explicative

So, here I am, I have finally arrived to Sweden! I will try to post on this blog as often as possible. This is not intended to be a travel journal. On this blog, I will write my impressions on my surroundings, the places I visit, the people I meet etc. Each entry will have a single subject, such as "IKEA" or "Germany in Sweden". I will write entries in either french or english. I'm sorry for those who don't read both languages, but I don't have time to write everything in double! However, if you are REALLY interested in a topic and can't read the message, just send me an e-mail and I will then translate it for you. And, for those who might think this is just a way to get more e-mails, well, you are right! I love getting news from you people, so get to your computers and start typing!

Bon, me voilà, je suis finalement arrivée en Suède! Je vais essayer d'écrire sur ce blog aussi souvent que possible. Ce blog n'est pas prévu comme un journal de voyage. Je vais plutôt y inscrire mes impressions sur mon entourage, les endroits que je visite, les gens que je rencontre etc. Chaque message aura un sujet unique, par exemple "IKEA" ou "L'allemagne en Suède". Je vais écrire autant en anglais qu'en français. Je suis désolée pour ceux qui ne peuvent lire ces deux langues, mais je n'ai pas le temps de tout écrire en double! Cependant, si vous êtes VRAIMENT intéressés par un sujet et ne pouvez le lire, envoyez-moi simplement un courriel et je vais le traduire pour vous. Et si vous croyez que ce n'est qu'un moyen de recevoir plus de courriels, et bien, vous avez raison! J'adore recevoir des nouvelles de vous tous, alors mettez-vous à vos claviers et commencez à taper!
