My First Firsts in Sweden

Dear friends and family. 

I am safe and sound in Sweden now.

Thank you.

Welcome. 

The view from my window.

Malmo Central Station

I think this is the old Malmo station. #NoFilter

First time on board a high-speed train in Europe: Malmo to Linkoping.

Köttbullar aka Swedish meatballs- My first Swedish meal on board a Scandinavian train!

First shot I got of downtown Linkoping.

The setting sun. Thank goodness I made it just in time to LiU to collect my room keys. Lugging more than 35 kilos of luggage from the airport to train station to bus station to university is not an easy feat!

Tree-lined pavement leading to LiU's international office.

Starters in downtown Linkoping!

20 SGD for a salad, main course and a drink

Welcome to IKEA Linkoping!

Need I say more...

This photo goes out to anyone who smiles when they see those golden arches! 

McDonalds I <3 you!

Smoked salmon galore ;) Shao Jie... hehe =P

Tele2. Jimmy from Tele2 in downtown Linkoping was a LIFE SAVER! He gave my iPhone life. When my iPhone has life, my life is so much happier.

My first attempt at stocking up my pantry!

Celebrating my birthday. Lunch at IKEA.

My first home-cooked in Sweden: 

Pan-fried salmon with fusilli in tomato sauce. 

First lesson in LiU

My very first breakfast in Sweden

First time using a microwave to cook chicken:

Pasta with chicken & melted cheese

First fika (Swedish coffee with pastries)

First time experiencing snow-fall in Sweden! Snapped this pic while waiting the bus to go to school!

It's raining... it's SNOWING!

Woke up late and it was snowing! Yay to Martin (beige jacket) for sending us to school in his car! 

First time witnessing someone sweeping snow off his car!

Snow-covered benches.

First time cooking with frozen spinach:

Pasta in creamy spinach sauce with button mushrooms & cherry tomatoes.

BOOMS! 

What I had for lunch yesterday.

Pan-fried chicken, Jasmine rice topped with crispy garlic & a side of cherry tomatoes & cucumber!

This reminds me, I need to go make myself some lunch/ dinner right now!
