I like white...but this may be too much.

Sweden is all about trends. White is very IN right now. All interiors are white...and people don't even like to put up pretty curtains in their living rooms. Not a huge fan of that, don't like living in a fish tank where anyone can peep in. But white walls can be pretty sometimes.

But it is so white outside too. It has snowed so very very much. It can be so beautiful. I love how the snow and ice collects on tree branches. But I hate how brown and mushy it gets in the city. Plus I slipped on the ice and banged up my knee.

I am ready for spring. I can't wait to be able to sit out side at a cute little cafe in the city, or go on long walks without a ton of winter gear on. Can't wait to see all the trees and flowers bloom. I bet it is going to smell amazing. And it is going to start getting lighter and lighter here so that there isn't hardly any night.

I took a free ballet class at the BalettAkademien the other day. It was fun to dance again, but I think it was a little too easy level for me, and I thought the teacher was too nice. I want to be yelled at and the such. Maybe next fall I will sign up for a class. I think I would really love that. It was the weirdest group of people though. Mostly young girls but a few older women and two goofy looking men. One was short and stout, and the other really long and lanky. haha it was perfect. And like in every class there always has to be that one bitch who asks too many questions about herself and has an annoying face. It is funny how people are the same no matter what country you are in.

Isn't this painting pretty? It was part of a mural in the entrance to a restaurant we went to. We ate really really Swedish food. All kinds of flavors of pickled, smoked, cured fish, with potatoes and bread with different kinds of cheeses. Fancy Shmancy too.
