just hop off the 23 hours train ride from Kiruna to Jonkping. and it is tiring. nonetheless, the trip is still AWESOME!
after living on the equator for more than 22 years, it is my first time experiencing this kinda feeling. looking at pure white snow covering the surroundings of the town and nature sites just make me feel very calm and overwhelmed. i was so excited that i do not even feel the cold at all until i can't feel my fingers and toes.
the wilderness tour in the beginning was just eye-opening. not only we get to stay at a kick ass old style wooden house that was covered with real furs, but we also get a good taste of reindeer meat. yes, reindeer, the one santa used to pull his sleds with. if you do not get your presents this year, i think we are partly to be blamed.
dog-sledding and snow mobile were heaps of fun for me but not skiing. since young i have a very bad sense of balance, that explains why i need 1 hour to get up on my feet while other people just stand up easily.
the icehotel is magnificent as well. the artist rooms inside are fun concepts and the delicate ice sculptures decorate the room to give each room a different personality.
the 20 hours train ride wasn't that bad. at least we get to spend time together and also draw the distance closer since the cabin is so small. those were good times that i will remember!
i will miss you guys. Andrew, Tim, Timo, Mike, Damon, Steph, Kym, Brooke, Jacky! i lost my snow-virginity with you guys and it couldn't get better than this!
