Quick escape

This week is all about exams exams exams. I got a bit tired of it yesterday, so I took an impulse decision to take the train down south to visit my friend close to Den Bosch again. It was nice; talking, learning and listening to Dutch all time. I also got to drive a car outside Sweden for the first time today! It was so nice to finally drive a car again, even if it only was for a kilometre or two... I have some new favourite Dutch foods too: Stamppot (mashed potatoes with vegetables), rijste pap (very similar to the Swedish risgrynsgröt, like rice porridge), rookworst (that you eat with the stamppot), and of course, the one and only turkish pizza.

What else... Oh yeah, I'm going to Sweden on Friday too (or escaping if you wish). I have a whole list of things to bring back from there, both for me and for others. A friend of mine who studied in Sweden for a year asked for a certain toothpaste that apparently tastes like Sprite. Never heard of it but I will try to find it! Except for dental hygiene, I will load my suitcase with homemade lingonberry jam, apple jam, Swedish candy and of course some winter clothing.

So long!
