cultural and temperature shock

At the moment I find it really tiring to not recognize people. I feel really stupid if I have talked to someone and the next time I see the person I don't know who it is. And I still have problem with the names... Also with the greeting procedure. In sweden we just say hi, or just nod with the head. Here you get asked about your health and work. It's nice with the greetings, but sometimes I'm unsure how to do it correctly and nicely. I hope I'll be an expert soon.

It has started to get really chilly in the mornings and evenings. So chilly I could easily put a sweater on. It scares me when I look at the thermometer and see that it is actually 25 degrees. How will I react when I come back to Sweden in the middle of the winter? The good thing about the coldness is that I can start to do some jogging in the evenings!

  1. I dag såg vi de första snöflingorna. Inget vitt på marken än. Runt nollan, på termometern.

    So be prepared for a winter!
