New Roomate, Thank God!

Princess Madeleine of Sweden. After seeing this picture I thought either they have good heating in Sweden or its not as cold as I heard.
Haha, I moved away from my loud snoring roomate and in with my friend from Sweden named Bengt. I have already learned some things about Sweden I never would have guessed. Like they have a babe for a princess, named Princess Madeleine. Another thing I learned, is that most people in Sweden speak Swedish and English. Bengt's Chinese is also really good. We are in the same Chinese class together and today we practiced Chinese vocabulary that we both have to learn. We also played some Ping Pong and Badminton a few times as well. Though I have yet to win a game from him its very competitive. I feel like John McEnroe vs. Bjorn Borg!

The weather here is getting colder and colder. Did I mention I have always been a fast walker. I noticed that as early as my days in Arizona that I walked faster than other people. I finally think I figured out why. Because I was raised outside of Chicago, I walked fast to get out of the freezing cold and to stay warm!!!
