Finland Trip - Day 1

Finland is different... Thrusday, lunch time, restaurant of LTU... Dani told to me about a trip to Finland... and the finally answer was: yesssssssss. On Friday everning, we rent the 2 cars (Volvo, of course) in the company Avis , but the trip started on Saturday morning. Dani came to Björkskatan to take Girbal and me. The welcome was great because one guy was eating two delicious eggs. We went to Porsön to take the other members of the expedition. Luleå, Kalix, Haparanda (IKEA) .... and Finlandddddd. Nothing interesting in this way, only a big snow storm that didn't allow us to see the road in some situations (f***k trucks). Our first stop was Kemi, in order to visit the Ice Castle "Lumi Linna" . Cool place, with a lot of sculptures on ice, the bar, the hotel, the chappel ... everything made by ice as you can see in the photographs. New friends and Russian hat Eagle and canyon in ice Asturias!!! Wedding actors People bought or "bought" some sourvenirs from the

Ice Hockey in Luleå

Ice Hockey:Blood, sweat and tears During all my time in Luleå, I went to 3 ice-hockey matchs in Coop Arena , the stadium of Luleå HF . Luleå vs Djurgårdens 3-1 My first match ... So cool!!! At the beginning, Luleå was loosing 0-1. The nightmare of Stockholm returned to my mind (We were in the football match Sweden-Spain that Spain lost 2-0). But, the Luleå HF scored one goal (you can see it in the middle of the video), so ... party in the terraces!!! Luleå vs Linköping 4-2 Second Match, and the story returned ... Luleå was loosing ... but the supporters made a great work and Luleå won the match. At the end of each match, there is a ritual to say "Tack så mycket" (Thanks) to the Luleå Fans: Luleå vs Timrå 3-5 In that match, we lost. So sad... The victory was really really near, but finally, it was not possible. In the video, you can see the face of the Erasmus people after the 5th goal of Timrå team. We spent a really good time in each match, and a lot of memories return to my

Winter Festival

And the Winter came to Luleå... The University of Luleå prepared for us 2 days of winter and snow called the Winter Festival. As you can read in the brochure in English , the organizers made a great work. During Wednesday evening, 4 buses from the university went to Måttsund , a ski resort near Luleå. There we could practice skiing (2nd time in my life) and other kind of activities, like race in garbage bags (Lisa, my flatmate, was the 3rd ... looser!!! ;-) ). After that, a shower and a little party of Saint Valentine (in Sweden is " Alla Hjärtans Dag ", the "day of all hearts"). On Thrusday , there was a lot of activities in the university. I had to choose some of them: Dog sled Ice climb Handicraft with wool Reindeer sled Massage Salsa dance Ice Climb. Toes frozen!!! Valerie and my new Russian-hat My first Reindeer [alive]!!! I love this University!!! PS. The post about Hemavan and the last day of Nolle-p will be done in a future. Patient
