Wedding

I never told you about the royal wedding coming up. Our princess, the next queen, is getting married to her long time partner Daniel this summer. On June 19th, there will be a royal wedding in Stockholm, and it's going to be big. It sure is a big deal here and the tax payers are paying a lot. Besides allt this you can buy royal chocolate, china, crystals or just small less expensive things, especially design for the wedding. Sweden is going crazy on June 19!

Since I'm going to be Boston at this time I'm hoping that they I can follow the wedding live on the webb.

Love,

Party

I'm having a bit of a party in my room and wish my boyz were here to dance with me. I'm sure you'd like the music I'm playing!

Summer?

Summer is coming closer and closer and I am now starting to freak out 'cause I haven't managed to get job for the summer. I am so desperate that I'm looking for jobs all over the world. Haha.

My plan right now is to get a temporary nanny job in London for 2 months, and stay with Steph. But it sure is harder than I thought... But my plan is still to come and visit, and have been saving up since December. Keep you fingers crossed that I'll get a job or else I'll be a very poor girl/student.

Love,
Kicki

Vulcano

I bet you've heard a lot about the volcanic eruption on Iceland. Well, that's all we hear about here in Sweden. For the past two days all of the airports here have been closed and this volcanic ash keeps on closing airport all over northern Europe. What's so insane is that the infrastucture here in Sweden is really affected, the train run on full capacity with more cars and so on, more busses are running and there are supposed to be really hard to rent cars.

My poor dad is stuck in Spain. He was supposed to get home yesterday, but is now going to be able to get on flight on Sunday night. I wonder when he will be back home!? The good thing is that he's there for work so he has a lot of company.

When will this stop? But at the same time I believe it's pretty cool that a volcanic eruption can affected so many countries, not only the once with a the ash clouds but also other countries with aiports, and not to forget all the tourists stuck in countries all over the world and can get home. Let's put it this way, it's the big news here.

Hopefully my dad will be coming home on Sunday, 'cause I know he wants to go home!

Love,
Kicki


Happy Easter

Today is a big day for kids in Sweden. It's the day they knock on doors and get candy, just like you do on Halloween. They dress up as nice witches, who are supposed to fly on their broomsticks to a place called Blåkulla, according to the tradition. Of course they don't fly away, but they still get tons of candy.

Found some pictures on google of some kids dressing up as witches:

As you can see that the scarf on the head, red cheeks and freckles are a must.
I remember getting home from school when I was a kid, making tons of easter cards. You see, if you want candy you need to give them an easter card in return. They mostly look like the picture at the beggining, with eggs, a witch, a chick or anything else that is easterish (it says Happy Easter on the card above). Of course you decorated the card yourself, so it was always one of a kind. Imaging making over 50 cards in one day. That's what I did so I could go to as many houses as possible. Meaning the cards were not that nicely made since I had to make so many of them =)

Happy Easter!!!!!
