I forgot my bathing suit and finding one has been more trouble than I expected. Yeah, it seems like the Swedish standard is blond, tan, and size zero ( Read more... )

someone i know went to norway as an exchange student in high school and realized she forgot her bathing suit and had to buy one. when she went to the stores, all they had were bikini bottoms (no tops!) and she got all freaked out because she didn't want to go topless...

Yeah, they often sell them separately and the two aren't always located right next to each other. Sometimes people go topless when sunbathing, though.
I found some boy-short bottoms that I liked but then the top that I wanted came with a little thong thing, which I did *not* want, so Iäm going to have to keep up the search!

Wow, it sounds like you're having an interesting time. I can barely master Spanish, let alone something as complicated as Swedish!

Well, I wouldn't say *mastered*, but I do ok as long as people donät slur their words together like they usually do. Yesterday I overheard Peter's mom in the kitchen saying "Hi AnnBritt!" (which is her name) and wondered why the heck she was saying hello to herself... Apparently she said "Hej, det är AnnBritt" (hi, this is AnnBritt) to someone on the phone! I have to pay very close attention.

How long have you been speaking Spanish? Iäm shy with mine, even though I took it for 5 years. I just can't conjugate at all in ANY language! Do you speak it often?

That sounds so awesome, despite the size-zero-ness. (Er, I'm approximately 2 inches tall, and I'm not a size zero -- so I always kind of wonder who actually is that size? Do they blow over in strong wind?)

What is the weather like right now? Is the sun up most of the time? Will you take lots of pictures?!

It was sunny the day before yesterday but then all yesterday it rained with a bit of thunder. Swedish summers are notoriously changeable. Right now I am looking out at some blue sky with white puffy clouds, but a giant black doom could hovering closely over them waiting for the perfect moment to strike...

I need a good image hosting site. Any reccommendation? I was looking at the google one or maybe photo bucket.
