Happy New Year and best wishies to all of you!! It’s been 2 weeks I know.
For the news since the pre-Christmas post, we chilled here (literally) after some intense weeks of studying, as you know it is our occupation - but seriously people must age slower here cause they live in the cold half their life... Anyway we had various gatherings, a Christmas dinner with some of us who had not fled Karlskrona, and during these days in can’t remember exactly what we did... taking it easy, seeing some spots we hadn’t seen.
Many of us MSLS people went travelling to France, Germany, Turkey, the UK, some even going home to the US or Canada. Being in Europe is a great opportunity to see so much; by the amount of history, cultures (etc, you know the drill) and short travel times. Having been in Paris in August 2010, I decided to go check out Berlin as my French/German friend Myriam said a while back that it would be a good plan... and BAM! It was!!
A few days spent in the German capital - WWII and cold war memorials, beers and fireworks at every corner, night clubs with music which is not the usual commercial junk, great local guide host and friends (thanks Anne-Lise and Mimi!), huge NYE celebration with hundreds of thousands of people, bus through northern Germany, ferry to Denmark then bus to Copenhagen, train to Karlskrona Sweden - Hello 2011!!!
