It's my first time study abroad and it's in Nanjing, China

Quicke

I'm so damn busy that I don't have time to update my blog. If blogg.se read this fucking blog. Please make so the blogger can upload more than one picture at a time. It's a time saver function.
Right now I'm going to meet up a friend and we going to confucius temple to look up a halloween costume. Ellinor and Emelie wants us to join them to Jasmine tonight and party with them. It's a halloween party. Let see where we going tonight.

Last thing is that remember to let your friend/family know that you miss and love them. It's feels good to hear that sometimes.
I'm have to leave now, Candy waiting for me.

Shanghai Expo

October 15-18

I know my blog post start to get really boring, but that doesn't mean that I don't have fun. Click here to see a video I did for you guys. It's Trieu as an expo guide;)

During the holiday me and Via talked about to visit Shanghai Expo. For those who doesn't know about the expo I'll try to explain to you what it is. The expo took place in Shanghai this time. They choose a place where it should take place. Inside that area each country has an area to build up a pavillion. It's up tp each country how it should be designed inside out.

We spent two days in the expo. On saturday it took us five minutes to enter the expo, compare to saturday it took us one hour to get in. Since the expo started in May this saturday broke a new record with over one million visitors and I was one of them. It was alot of people there but lucky I'm swedish citizens so we enter all the scandinavian countries as VIP. That means that I didn't have to wait in the queue to get in, so we saved alot of time because of that. The ticket price for one day cost 160 yuen, but if you are a student you can buy it for 100 yuen.

I had time to visit 13 pavillions. If I didn't go with Via I rather spend more of my time in the asian area. Because I think the european countries are almost the same as Sweden, I mean the lifestyle we live in. To see from the outside was also enough for me. To enter the popular pavillions like Japan, Germany, Saudia Arabia and China(the biggest pavillion) you have to wait for five hours or even more.
Shanghai built one new subway line just for the expo. It was so funny to take the expo subway, when the subway arrived it took three seconds to fill the train. I'm not joking just three seconds.
I was exhausted after the expo but it was a life experience and I won't forget it.






First time

October 9
Pelle felt better after he got an infection. In the begining of the week we talked about to have a pre party and after that we going out. A little celebration for Pelle because he can drink again. As the time goes by both of us forgot about the party so we hadn't invite any of our friend. I text some friends on saturday morning and asked if they wanted to come, lucky everyone could join our pre party. Pelle didn't invite any of his friend because he thought it was to late. I was so nervous because it was only my friends and they had never been in a club before.
So when they arrived it was a little bit akward, they act really weird but as the time goes by everyone was having fun.
As I said before it was most of the girls first time going out. We didn't go to a club becuase we got stuck in Castle bar. Some of my friends already have a picture that it's only bad people in club/bars but after that night they really liked going out. We planned to go to mazzo nr 2 but Lisa got so freaking drunk that we took the taxi back to school. They other girls wanted to go to the club after we drop Lisa in her dorm. We went there but the club was already closed so we meet up with Freddie and Eleven and spend the rest of the night in KTV

October 12
I have to say that I really like Nanjing Forestry University. Maybe the school doesn't have the best education, but to live here in this campus it feels like it's a own city. I have been in Nanjing Normal University and also Hohai Univeristy, but I didn't like it as much as my campus. Maybe becuase I already got used to my school. Well after that we visit both uni Lisa joined me, zoe and Ashell for some shopping. I have to tell you guys that Lisa is a little bit funny. She jokes with me, ALWAYS tell me that I'm cool, handsome, a gentlemen and when I say it back to her she flatter. Lisa will come to Sweden to visit her boyfriend next year in Uppsala.


Remember

I can't remember every details on the holiday anymore. Has been 2 weeks since holiday and I have already forget most of it.

October 1
On my holiday I went to confucius temple with Ashell. We took alook inside some garden about chinese historic. Ashell and I didn't read every information plate, we just went there to have a look. I wait for Jinn to come over because he's interested in these things. So when he come over he going to be my chinese guide=).



October 2
Me, Jessica and Via went to a taiwanese place. I don't remember what the name of the place, but they had food, clothes, restaurants from taiwan. I got introduce to a designer from taiwan, we talked a little and decided to exchange number to have dinner or coffe in the future.



October 3
Read the pre post

October 4
I can't find any pictures from this day so I don't know what I did on this day


October 5
Shopping in Xin Jie Kou, this day I start to see my friends true color. Everyone is not perfect, everyone has problems. Why do I write these kind of things here in the blog? First thing is that I do this blog for myself. I want to remember my days here in China and it's not always happy days. I would lying if I say that it always good times here. I want to remember the bad times and learn from it. Now it sounds like they done something bad to me, but it's not about me.

On the afternoon I meet Kevin and Virginia for the first time. They are a couple and you can tell that they are a couple when you meet them. They match each other perfectly. Both of them are programmers who study a city near Beijing. Kevin and Virginia are classmates. So as we was eating Korean BBQ I was thinking about my friends back in Sweden, because the way you eat Korean BBQ it's perfect with some beer and with good friends. I wish I could have all of my friends here in China. It's enough even if it's just for one day.

And for the other days I just went for shopping and eat alot. Also showed Virginia and Kevin around our school. They liked it and want to start study here instead of there university. Both didn't want to leave Nanjing. Via told me that both of them got tears on the train back. They also left cutes notes to me. Kevin wrote in Chinese so I can't understand what he wrote. So can anyone translate for me.


The holiday part 1

The Chinese celebrate their national day October 1st. So every students had holiday from october 1st to 7th. Most students of our school went back home to their hometown to celebrate it with their family. Some stayed here in the university because their hometown was to far from Nanjing. So most of my friends stayed in the campus, like me to far from home.




I really want to go to Shanghai for the expo on my holiday, but I didn't. The reason is I think there's to many people during the holiday. I stayed here in Nanjing on my holiday and hang with my friends. Ashell, Jessica, Via, Pelle, Lisa, Kevin, Virginia and also with my neighbors the vietnamese.

Me, Jessica, Via went to a place where there's only selling stuff from Taiwan, even the food is from Taiwan. So we had a walk there. It has only been open for 10 days so there was some store that hasn't opened. The place was really fresh and modern. The bad thing is that didn't have any good clothes there. Via introduce me to a designer there and we exchange number to have a meeting where he can talk more about how things works. We took alot of pictures there but somehow they got deleted so I don't have any pictures from that place.



On Sunday the vietnamese from my university was going to Nanjing agricultural university to meet up with other vietnamese people from that university. They invited me to play soccer and have a dinner with them. I decided to join them and get to know them. Everyone was really nice to me. On the way to the university everyone asked me the same questions, I don't know how many times I repeated my answers.
So they started to play soccer and I sat with the audience and got to know Hang, May, Phuong, Tung and Duong. Hang tried really hard to get pictures with me but I denied, but in the end she got her freaking picture.
I joined them to play the second half and scored 2 goals!! Trieu scored! It was funny because I told them that I don't know how to play soccer and when I scored the first time everyone was laughing. The second time I scored they where laughing even more. Which university won?
Ofcourse Nanjing Forestry University.

The whole day I was with the elder. Litteraly with the elder. Everyone was over 30 years old, I don't know why they didn't let me be with guys at my age. Oh I forgot to say that every vietnamese I met are from the northen part of Vietnam. So it really hard for me to understand what they say. Some people know that and talk really slowly so I can understand them. So when I was sitting with the elder they pointed at a pictures and asked me "do you know who this is?". I looked at the picuture of an old man, I had seen him before but didn't remeber the name. So I told them to give me 1 min. After 20 seconds I remeber the name of that old man. It was of course "Bac Ho" (spelling).
The dinner was as I always say in china "it was so so"(so so means ok). The man that invited me forced me to drink alot. He toast with me but he didn't freaking drink is liquor. I was really angry so at one point I decide to go from the party and went to 1912 and meet up with Jessica and Via.



I do it for myself

So I talked to Hang one day and she made me realize that I should blog for myself so I can look back when I'm in Sweden. I have to admit that I don't remember all the details for every day. It happens things everyday so I have to write it down.

Everything was just a missunderstanding between me and my friends. I really happy that everything is solved. Time heal every wounds. Is that true? Yeah a little bit, but it takes long time.

It has happen alot of things these last days so I will try to remember everything and blog about those days. 2 days in 1 post. So what happen after I decide to not blog anymore?
Well I want to stay busy so I meet up with some girls and took some photos of them. Most of them where friend of Zoe. I was really nervous because I meet up with them by myself, not with Zoes company. But it went well.

Now I'm going to sleep, school starts tomorrow again. Most of the students is back from their hometown and it starts to get crowdy again. I don't know why the pictures are so colorless, in my computer the pictures has more color.
