Ales stenar

We went to the small town Ystad yesterday and went to see the big stones,Ales stenar.The weather there was as beautiful as the other parts of Sweden during the summer.Ales stenar was voted by the Swedish radio-listeners as one of Sweden’s Seven Wonders,and I would say that it’s not just in name only and it’s the smaller version of the big stones in Great Britain.There were several ladybugs keeping climbing up our legs while we were sitting on the grass enjoying the beautiful scenery,so I took a picture of him.I only had one question after I had come back from the small village Kåseberga,where Ale stenar lies in, was that what meaning of Ales stenar is,can someone tell me?

Swedish...........

I spent my whole day to study my swedish,cuz i have to take the re-exam at the end of august.The form of nouns and adjectives is one of the biggest problems to me.Swedish nouns are divided into two genders:en-words,like en buss,a buss and ett-words,like ett äpple an apple.The adjective changes according to the gender of the noun,this sounds like not a big deal,to the contrary, there are no laws or some kind of regulations to tell from the noun which gender it belongs to.So...I have to remember all the forms of all the nouns,generally speaking,one noun have four different forms to express indefinite singular,definite singular,indefinite plural,definite plural,respectively...so it's a massive amount.That's not enough,adjective changes its form according to the different genders of nouns..oh my gosh,I really don't know whether I can remember all of them.Killian just called and said hello to me,he told me that Kong Fu Panda is being shown at the cinema in Malmö,aha~I have already seen that film.I asked him when Mattias and Stina will come back,cuz i wanna invite them and Killian and Claare to come to my apartment to have a dinner with me.One of Killian and Claare is gonna leave at the end of this month,and I don't wanna miss any of them.

Barbecue

We spent a wonderful weekend in Kävlinge.Professor Wei gave me a phone call thursday afternoon,she invited us to attend a barbecue at her garden on friday evening.(it gets dark at 21p.m in Sweden now.)We got there at 17 o'clock and our pakistani friend Adnan took the original pakistani food for us.I didn't remember the name but it was a sort of mixture of rice and chicken and other flavorings.Barbecue chicken drumstick is my favourtite.The chicken drumsticks were cured one day before we went there,so the taste was pretty good.During cooking BBQ,we played some fun games,mini basketball,mini golf.This is my first time playing golf.It's kind of hard for me,I couldn't hit the golf ball into the hole.The second day we went to a beach not far from Professor Wei's house,it is as beautiful as the other beaches in Sweden.

Life's going on

I feel absolutely exhausted,I always wanna blog something everyday,however,I don't have many things to blog about.For past several months,I have jumped out from my bed energized at 6 o'clock.Lately,I am lucky if I can get awake by 9 o'clock and I have just been fiddling around instead of getting ready to study my swedish or do my thesis work.I have been studying swedish for about more than 4 months,but now I still can not speak a complete sentence in swedish,not to mention the communication with swedish people.Killian and Claare came to visit me yesterday,we first talked about the book of mormon and then Killian told me a good way to tell the differences on how to pronounce 'k' and 'g' with different vowels going behind them.ÅAOU are hard vowels,when they go behind 'k' and 'g','k' and 'g' pronounce just like 'kate' and 'gate',respectively.ÖÄEIY are soft vowels,when they go behind 'k' and 'g','k' and 'g' pronounce like 'ship' and '[i](phonetics,something like that)'.This is really a good key for me to study my swedish,the pronunciation is the greatest challenge to me.We plan to go to Paris for a one-week trip on 9th Aug after watching the opening ceremony on 8th Aug.I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow,so,let's call it today,good night~

Disney Princess

Mysterious and passionate. You are a survivor. Even though life has swung you some difficult situations you have a strong intuition that gets you through. Also, you have the capacity to sympathize and relate to a variety of different people.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Yes,this is exactly who i am

My skin is peeling off

My skin started to peel off yesterday,now it's getting worse and worse,especially forehead and nose,just cuz too much exposure to the sun at the small island Ven.I didn't oil myself with suntan lotionI and I was far too sure of my skin,insomuch that i got burnt.Killian asked me to go to the church today,but i told him i was too ugly to meet people,because different colors appear on my face...OMG!so i didn't go.Now my arms started to itch,I figure they might peel off as well in a couple of days.

Copenhagen

We went to Copenhagen yesterday,it's really a charming,morden metropolis.We took the train from Malmo and just spent 30 minutes to get our destination.It's a pretty good sunny day,the weather is gorgeous.After we went out from the central station,we went straight to the Tivoli Park,which is the most famous and old fairytale amusement park in Europe,cuz this was our one-day trip,so we just took the pictures at the front entrance of the park,and we decided that we will go into the park next time.I walked down the Strøget street,the longest pedestrian shopping street in Europe,you know my favourite thing is doing window shopping,aha~and this was my first time went into Hermes~~~~the scarf is beautiful,but the only problem is the price,aha~
The most impressive thing was that we took the Netto Boat at the pier in the centre of the city.If you have chance to go to Copenhagen,I strongly recommend you to take this trip,this is the most attractive part you should never miss,just like the little mermaid.

The pearl of sound

I had a glorious day at the small island,the pearl of sound,Ven.The scenery there is really amazing,magnificent and the climate is unique as well.Ven lies in the middle of Öresund,just between Sweden and Denmark.We took the ferry to get there in the morning,there is a sea of yellow cycles,we rent a tandem bicycle cuz the locals told me that Ven can be cycled around in one day,and the price is reasonable.I don't wanna say too much,just see the slide and the video below,i am tired...
