Hello all my Followers! Week 12 was interesting considering something that never happens in Canada happened, and I think it would be cool if it did. During Week 44 or the week of Halloween, Sweden has a vacation week. So obviously there is no school during this week which was weird since I am only use to having Thanksgiving Monday off during the fall months. But here is Sweden they do not have Thanksgiving, so that was also a little different! During fall vacation some students go to their home cities since some of the students that go to Mora Gymnasium are not from Mora. So those students go home during this week to visit with their families. I however did not have a lot going on throughout this week except some Innebandy practices and some of Åsa's family came over for a belated birthday party I guess you could say. Now, doing nothing all week is not my thing so I was hoping to go hiking on a mountain with Maja, but she had to work so that did not work out for me! So I decided I would go biking on Friday. I made a little video with my Sony action cam that I will put on the bottom of this post. It is 9 minutes of me biking so I do not think you will watch all of it but skim through it and you will see how a forest in Sweden looks since it is mainly dominated by the Lodgepole Pine (I believe)...either way it is still cool to see! Before watching, you can turn the blog music off so that you can hear the music on the video.

Fall Vacation & A Bike Ride in the Woods

During the weekend Tomas, Åsa and I went to watch the new James Bond movie Spectre and just so you know, a Swedish movie theatre is a little different than a Canadian. You can pre-order tickets but when you pre-order them you can pick where you sit. so that I do not think we do in Canada, but I could be wrong. The movie was 2hrs and 40min long so it was a lot of Bond for your buck and also a lot of sitting! On Sunday Åsa, Kerstin and I (Kerstin is related to Åsa but I forgot how, I am sure I will figure it out soon) went to Grandpa's to pick mushrooms and some berries since everywhere you look there are always blueberries. So we were out in the Swedish wilderness for 1.5 hr I believe it was and then we had some fika before we left for home! That rounded off week 12...I can not believe it has been 12 (now 13) weeks!
