在哥德堡的最后一晚了，好伤感阿，不想走，还是不想走。

再见哥德堡，再见Sweden!

毕业典礼，没想到时间过这么快，真是有喜有忧，早上10点多赶到学校，已经很多人在.去更衣室换好西装后,和同学聊聊天拍照. 好多同学是第二次见面,第一次是开学典礼时,不得不感叹时间过的好快,很遗憾以前没有很好的多多交流.

大家入场后,每个班级拍了集体照片.然后是伴着现场乐队的奏乐,学校领导和教授们入场, 毕业典礼正式开始.院长发表讲话后,再是Volvo校友的致辞,给毕业生提了不少建议,然后是讲公司的规划,尤其强调了在中国市场的发展,还推荐大家学习汉语,不过期间我竟然睡着了会,因为这几天每天睡觉时间太短.

不一会就开始学位授予仪式,介于正式和传统之间的,每个人按秩序上去,教授颁发证书,然后是和院长握手,旁边的瑞典同学一直强调不够正式,因为没有学位服,他本科是在悉尼读的,学位授予仪式和英国差不多,很正式..

整个仪式都有现场乐队奏乐,但感觉音乐很低沉,可能因为是毕业典礼.毕业典礼后,是很小的酒会,以祝贺毕业,大家忙着合影聊天,畅谈工作和以后打算.由于晚餐要在6点才开始,我们一群中国同学打算先在学校附近吃中餐,大家挑了学校附近的pizza店, 吃饭聊天.饭后大家一起媛媛家,她家就在学校附近.她家很大,我是第一次去,感觉很不错,期间大家依旧聊天,不够我实在是累得不行了,而且因为劳累有点发烧,所以睡觉去了,醒来后已经下午5点,感觉好了很多.此时张mm和真真在化妆了,赫赫,我也赶快的开始行动,化了一点点彩妆.

赶到酒店后,才发现这家酒店是以前路过的,只是没注意到它原来是个大酒店,国外经常这样的,很低调的入口,进去后却是另一番天空.换好礼服后,去大厅,人已经很多,大家依旧是聊天喝酒,等待晚餐开始.

晚餐在歌声中开始,食物很丰盛,首先是沙拉,龙虾和白葡萄酒, 主菜是牛排和红酒,最后是甜点和甜酒.整个晚餐进行了四个多小时,期间有很多歌曲,每个专业都唱歌了,教授们则是合唱了两只老虎,不过他们不是叫这名字,但音乐是一样的赫赫.还有老师的钢琴伴唱,外国人都很有表演天赋.

晚餐结束后,是喝咖啡和喝茶时间,然后是舞会. 因为是Disco舞会,老教授们都走了,看到一些年轻的学校工作人员跳舞,以前都是在办公室看到他们,赫赫,看他们玩得很尽信.我因为很累,身体还是不舒服,回家了,不过到家已经将近凌晨一点.人疲倦到极点,而且依旧有发烧症状,洗漱后很快就睡着了,一觉睡到早上十点,昨晚出了一身的汗,人感觉好多了.

今天阳光很灿烂,不过因为明天就要走了,心情很复杂.

昨晚上3点多睡的，今天八点多就爬起来了，这几天是没时间睡觉的，唯一期待是回国飞机上可以补充下睡眠。今天的毕业典礼彩排是10点开始的，同学大部分都来了，很多都有半年没有见面了，今天的见面大家都很亲热，聊天的内同主要是前程和工作。彩排的主要内容是商学院diploma的颁发程序，Ann今天很细致，甚至给我们都安排好座位了，大家一个个按照班级及其名字序号坐好，仿佛幼儿园小朋友。最后是介绍明天毕业晚宴的菜单。

彩排结束后和几个同学一起去了一家泰国餐厅，大家依旧是聊聊天，赫赫。聊天后，先去银行注销了帐号，然后是去brusparken购物，很开心的是，给爸爸妈妈都买了合适的礼物。然后是去退了昨天的买的礼服，感觉不太合身，然后新买了一件。再是把圣诞期间就看上的espirit的包包买上了，因为是新款，还是没有打折，不过能去机场退税，也相当于一个折扣了。

 晚上回家得好好准备行李了,好忙啊。

 

真郁闷,刚刚本来是写好一篇了,谁知不小心点了什么键,被space给删除了,而且因为我的电脑中文输入有问题,保存在写字板的文字竟然全是乱码,所以又重新写了一遍,以后还得好好保存好文档.

 

 

第三天,我们8点多起来,小木屋里壁炉里柴火烧得很旺,难怪晚上睡得出汗了,不过这还得谢谢我们犹教授一个晚上给我们木材.起来后,大家都没洗脸,因为这里是没有水洗脸的,去雪地里用雪搓洗了几下,感觉非常好.

 

然后就是早餐了,早餐很简单,大家聊天会,吃了面包后,依旧喝了咖啡,很美味阿,然后问了今天的安排.饭后我们是自己去森林的雪地了,这里雪很深,而且会有动物出没,比如狐狸,松鼠之类,但是北极熊市不会有的,因为冬天,他们都在山洞里冬眠去了. 我们走过森林,就到了冰河边,大家一路的拍照,欣赏雪景,还有远处的山脉.沿着冰河走,河水很急,有的地方冰块还没化,偶尔还能看到河里有鱼,这场景让我想起了很多年前看动物世界时,北极熊抓鱼时的画面,很原始很自然.河边有一排栅栏,里面有几只小鹿在雪地里刨树枝,真可爱啊,后来才知道这是henrik饲养的鹿.

 

大家玩的都忘记回去了,一看时间已经中午11点多了,还要赶回去钓鱼呢.赶到冰河时,我们开始准备钓鱼,在昨晚打水的冰窟窿里,感受北极钓鱼的乐趣.本来有鱼上钩了,但因为大家没经验,所以鱼跑了,不过还是很开心.然后我们这里的一个土著人sanmi,一起去森林去打树枝,用来给驯鹿吃,驯鹿就是给圣诞老爷爷拉车的小鹿哦. 这个sanmi人很好玩,他穿着鹿皮做的裤子和靴子,感觉像孙悟空.我们坐雪地摩托去的森林,采了树枝,在雪地里玩的很开心.然后我们坐摩托返回,回来的路上,sanmi让我们每个人都开了一段摩托,感觉很棒,看到摩托车在雪地蜿蜒,左边是森林,右边则是冰河.

 

回来小木屋后,大家已经吃开始午餐,今天的午餐还是鹿肉通心粉,不过鹿肉是烤过的,和昨天的原味比起来味道好些.呵呵.吃饭后,我感觉鞋子里不太舒服,脱下鞋子,才发现里面都进水了,袜子都湿了.但我竟然没感觉到,可能因为玩的太开心,玩的出汗了,在0下20度的雪地,鞋子湿了都没感觉到.

 

饭后大家都已经去滑雪了,我只能先在小木屋里烤干袜子.柴火很旺,袜子很快的干了.赶紧的装备的好,就去滑雪了,因为是第一次滑雪,玩的很吃力,但依旧开心,呵呵,不一会已经下午3点多,我们得坐雪橇回去了,因为要赶下午6点40得火车回斯德歌尔摩.我们坐的还是昨天的狗拉雪橇和雪地摩托,此时天已经很黑了,要和北极圈再见了.

 

回到Kiruna火车站后,上车后告别北极圈,以后有机会希望还能再来.

 

上车后,这里的火车很奇怪,他们半路会换车,我们还要下车赶另外一趟火车,这个得非常的小心,我们差点就误车了.

 

 

第二天,我们参加的是henri的两天一夜的极光团,这个团在中国留学生中很有名.

一大早,henrik的车子就来我们住的青年旅馆接我们,没想到的是,在等车的过程中,竟然遇到了歌大的一个香港同学,她是和男朋友一起过来的,真是太巧了,而且我们参加的是同一团,大家一起玩了.

 

今天和我们同一个团的还有两个德国女生,她们是在瑞典学习的交换生.到达森林后,看到很多其他的学生,他们参加的是一天的团,是17个来自美国的大学生,呵呵.然后我们换上防水衣服和靴子,开始森林极光的旅行,我们这次有三个狗拉雪橇,还有就是两个雪地摩托,大家换着开.我首先选择是狗拉雪橇,每5只狗负责一个雪橇,坐雪橇的感觉真得很爽,以前是在电视上看过,现在是自己坐上了,很开心.

 

因为我不会开车,没敢开雪地摩托,只能在后面坐着.雪橇和摩托在雪地行走,路边都是白茫茫的一片.虽然是零下10几度,大家都尽情享受着极地美景,忽然听到大家的欢呼声,原来不远处,有三只驯鹿在奔跑,大自然中很和谐的感觉.

 

大概行进了一个多小时,我们到达目的地,此时我们处于冰河之上,感觉很特别.我们今晚住的地方,是冰河旁边的小木屋,这里完全处于一种原始人生活的状态,没有水和电,我们要自己劈柴,以供晚上取暖和洗桑那用.还有自己打水用来做饭,我们是去冰河打水的,很有意思,在上面凿开一个小窟窿就可以直接取水了,当时我们还品尝了下,水质非常的好.

 

中午吃的鹿肉通心粉,很原始的做法,鹿肉上面什么调料都没放,鹿肉本身还不错.饭后是喝咖啡和茶,北极的水泡好的咖啡很香,我连喝了两杯.

饭后大家开始准备桑那,这里的桑那是男女同浴,因为我是第一次桑那,很不习惯,就要求男女分开了.在北极圈做桑拿的感觉真好,外面是冰天雪地,里面则是热气腾腾,而且一起玩的德国同学和李姐,她们桑那后都去雪地打滚了,而且说感觉超级爽.

 

桑那后大家去冰河和雪地守候极光,可能因为有云,晚上并没有看到极光,但看到北斗七星就在头顶,也是很不错的感觉.然后回到小木屋,美美的睡了一觉.一起来的教授则一个人在雪地里守候北极光到晚上3点才睡.晚上睡的是鹿皮床垫,很热,因为有木头供热,我睡的都出汗了赫赫.

 

I just came back from Kiruna which is located in the Arctic Circle.It is a wonderful and fantastic experience in my life and I will never forget the white and fairy tale world. I am very tired now and I chose to describe the first day in Arctic Circle,hehe. And one of my fellow, professor You  said he would publish one book to record the whole travel,haha.

 

I begined my travel in 16th January, went to Stockholm by train and got another train to Kiruna. I met my three friends in Stockholm Centrastation, beautiful Sister YL and her handsome policeman, and professor You, who are guest reserchers in Uppusala University. It is a nice travel since I met my three fellows and the long time night train was not boring. We played cards to kill time in the train and had a nice sleep. Our train got Kiruna on 10am 17th.

 

It was sunny, the air was so fresh once we got off the train and the whole world was white with thick snow. Kiruna station is very small, which has only one rest room, coffee room and toilet, we even could not find any worker there. It was hard to find someone to help us find our hostel and many roads were blocked by the snow. The city seems very small seen from the train station. We went to the city directly and asked our way in one shop where the worker was very hospitable and drawed a city map to us. The city is really small, we found our hostel in 10 mius.

 

After we arranged our luggage, we went to the famous word church which is built wholly by wood. The wood church is smart and exquisite. The church was very quite and warm. It has a reception table in front of the gate but no one was here. There were postcards and guest book on the table, you can buy postcards by putting coins voluntarily in the box beside and leave your message in the guest book.

 

After we visited the wood church, we planed to visit Ice Hotel which stands a little far from the city and we had to take a bus. Our bus started at 1pm and it took about 20minuts. The landscape was amazing along the way. Large number of pine trees were covered by white snow. Although it was cold after we got off the bus, we were exciting to enjoy the beautiful fairy tale world.

 

Then we got to the Ice Hotel which was another miracle and fantasyland. It was not so cold in the Ice Hotel as I had expected before. There were a lot of ice sculptures and many ice rooms which were used as hotel, both of which were full of imagination. And there was also a ice bar hehe, we bought two cups of orange juice which filled in ice glasses. It tasted very nice by the ice glasses and really a new experience for us.

 

There was a ice church besise the Ice Hotel, which was in the construction. After we visited the ice church, we went to the station to go back the city, but the bus was 20 minutes late and it was very cold in the outdoor station,cold, cold and cold.

 

The bus came finally, we got it ASAP. It took us to the city and also supplyed a city sightseeing in the meanwhile. We could see many villas around the city.

 

We went back to our STF hostel in the 6pm and bought much food in the ICA supermarket, our professor You is a gastronomist and is good at cooking. He made steaks and chicken....and there was also red wine which was brought by our handsome pliceman, it was my firstly time to enjoy delicious dinner in youth hostel kitchen,haha, another new experience.

 

After our wonderful dinner, we planed to go outside to have a look for northern lights.But it was snowing and it was cloudy, it was hard to see nothern lights in that kind of weather. We had to go back hostel and has a sweet sleep hehe.

 

The above was our first day activities in Arctic Circle.The following days would be writed quickly. hehe.

 

I handed in the final three copies of my master thesis to the international student department this noon, which meaned my abroad study was finished. And I received the frontpage of the thesis immediatly from department. I felt a strong sense of lost for the forthcoming graduation. Actually, I should be glad for the graduation instead of sad since it is coming a new start of my life. I remerbered the day I graduated from Wuhan University three years ago and the last time I spent in Wuhan when the school was full of the grief of departure. Any way, I hope I could have a brilliant future, hehe!

 

I will start my Arctic Circle travel tomorrow, which I would like to recognize as my graduation travel, hehe.  The first challenge for me is the 17-hour travel by train from Stockholm to Kiruna while I believe it would be a nice travel.

 

 

 

I was very lucky to watch the musical Cats in Goteborg Opera. The live show is totally different from the video. Goteborg Opera is very spacious. And it only cost 70kr for one student,haha. Cats has been showed here since September last year and it is still very popular now. Almost all the seats were occupied tonight. Although it was showed in Swedish, we still have 100 percent enthusiasm and passion to enjoy this great musical.

 

The musical Cats tells a story of Jellicle Cats and it was composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Many cats were dancing and singing in the stage which was very exciting. All of the classic melodyies are very beautiful and the famous song Memory was sang by Cat Grizabella. The atomsphere was extraodinary wonderful. All the audiences were concentraed on the 3-hour show. The theater was always full of applause, which was also lasted for a long time after the show was finished.

 

It was such a wonderful experience,haha.

 

It was my first time to have hot pot abroad and it happend at the last time of my study abroad time. We bought much food from Chinese shop. It had the atmosphere in China haha and we had 7 persons here. After a very nice food enjoyment, we played card until 4am and it was my second time to play card through the night. The punishment included singing,drawing in the face and it was really very funny.

 

I started my Viking Line travel in 9th January and came back in 11th January. It is a nice travel and the most relaxant travel for me, since we did not need to hurry during the travel and it really likes a vacation.

 

I enjoyed this nice travel with other 4 girls, Zhang,Mao and Hu,haha. Firstly, I would introduce the Viking Line Company. It is a Finnish shipping company operating a fleet of large combined cruiseferry ships between Finland, the Aland Islands, Sweden and Estonia.

 

The name of our ship is M&S Mariella which travels between Helsinki and Stockholm. We were very lucky to book one cabin of four persons for free. Mariella is very luxury at the moment we were aboard. It is almost a five star Hotel on the sea.There are luxury restaurant,Tax free shop,Casio, Bar here. After we arranged our luggages, we started the luxury cruise travel. We had a short visit of Mariella and then went to restaurant. It was a dinner buffet which cost 28 Euro per person, which is the most expensive deal I had abroad,haha. Of course, the resraurant is luxurious, which serves various food from different countries and styles, such as the traditional food of Sweden, Finland, food of Italy,Greek and different sea food such as herring. And it also serves delicious deserts, red wine, coffee and so on.We really had a nice dinner here.But after we went back to our cabin, all of us regreted to have so much food. We were seasick and became more and more serious with the swing of the ship.Xiao Lei and Hui sick up all the food, Zhang had a diarrhea, and I felt sick and almost couldt get sleep. We got smooth and peaful in deep night and had a sweet night finally.

 

The ship arrived to Helsinki at 10am of Helsinki time, we got up quickly and took some beautuiful pic in the deck. We started the travel of Helsinki, it is a quiet and smart city.It was a little sunny and big windy.We went to the white church and had a rest here and enjoyed the organ perfermance. Then we went to the city center and had a far visit to the centrastaion which impressed us with its clock tower. It was lunch time and we chose one kebarb resturant. After the lunch, we went to the market and had a short visit to the souvenir shops.

 

The next visit was the rock church which is famous in the world because it was made of stone. It has a flat dome seemed very different from others. It was broadcasting soft music when we got in and I recongnised one part is the popular music which was quoted in the film My Barbaric Girlfriend. The dome is even more beautiful and attractive seen from inside and it is really hard to describe.The organ in the left is also charming.

 

Our last vist is Sibelius Monument which is one of the Helsinki landmarks.It is bulit to honour Jean Sibelius who is one of the most notable composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries of Finland. and was unveiled in 1961. Sibelius Monument consists of approximate 600 acid proof stainless steel tubes of various diameters,welded together and hand textured by Eila Hiltunen. It impressed me the first time when I saw it in elementary artist textbook.

 

At 17pm Helsinki time, our ship left Helsinki, our Helsinki travel finished.

 

We slept another night in ship, that night, we had a lot of fun, such as having a look for Euro show and dance, seeing the quarter play, and having Karook haha, and playing cards...

 

We came back Stockholm at 10pm Stockholm time and had a short and nice travel of Stockholm. It has nominated as the second Venice since it was also builded in the water. We had a visit for the Royal Palace and had a nice lunch in the old street and bought some souvenirs. Then we got Goteborg by train.

 

 

It is always raining in Goteborg this winter, which is abnormal. I remerber the white snow of last year while there is any snowing appearance this winter,hehe. And the average temperature is 5 degreee which is almost the same with my hometown.

 

I am listening one of my favorite song: Endless Rain of X Japan, very sad but it is ok.

It is my 3rd shopping this new year, you can imagine the frequency of my shopping, haha.However, I still got nothing today, since the bag and shoes which attracted me didnt have discount now. It is really imbalance to buy something in full price in this discounting season.

 

It was Friday today and we could go to after work which was the special activity of Goteborg. It only existed in every Friday, a little bit like happy hour. It was my first time to join after work although I have been here one and half year. We choosed one bar in  Valand, which cost us 15kr for hanging coat. It was a few people here since it was 6pm when we came.At the beginning, we didnt know everyone needed to order some drink before the buffet.We got some food directly.  And the food was also few, just some crisps,sources and swedish combination. We were enjoying our food, suddenly,the waiter came in and told us we must buy drinks before buffet.It was really embarrassing,hehe. I ordered a cup of cider which cost 32kr.

 

Any way, it was a new experience for me, I want to enjoymyself at the last time of Goteborg.

Because of the earthquake of Taiwan, it is hard to access mainland webs in Sweden. But it is not the end of era; I got a very popular American website you tube from roommate immediately. I can get various news and information from this website, especially many previous Mtvs or Mvs, haha. I am engaged in this web from the moment I get up and end it before I go bed. It is really a big surprise for me. I have to cherish it before I leave Sweden since it is not easy to access this web in mainland.

 

I have enjoyed many Mtvs of my favourite Chinese singers, such as Faye, Teresa Teng, Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Anthony Wong.... It is an interesting experience to get many old songs which were popular when I was in elementary school, such as some songs from Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, haha.

 

The closest memory from those melodies was the March of 2005. I was travelling in Yanshuo which is pointed as the most beautiful town in mainland. And then I travelled in Zhangjia Mountain and Phoenix Town. The feeling is very complicated when I remember that time when I was empty and had to make choices. I still remember that experience clearly that I was wandering in these towns and feeling lonely and helpless. Actually, I like that experience now, hehe.

Something was wrong in my pc. I found it after I came back from shopping mall although it went on well this afternoon.Its inoder made me crazy,you cant imagine time without computer. I was so scared and prayed everything would be ok. After series of checks and scannings, my roommate and I found it wasnt because of virus, but the only way to resolve the problem was to reset system.Oh,my God!Many files and pics which could not be copied were lost,crying...

 

It took me almost the whole night to fix up and I cant tpye Chinese now.

 

Anyway,I can have much higher speed now...

Pls, serve your pc carefully and seriously, it is your master!

新年好，先祝大家新年事事顺利，恭喜发财。

今年的新年还是很值得记忆的。昨天下午先是给家里都电话了，然后和慧佳美女一起逛街，我们约好五点去海上歌剧院看烟花。因为商店在四点时都关门了，没怎么逛街，直接去中国店买了辣椒酱。出来时已经五点，听到烟花声，我们循声看到了漂亮的烟花，但纳闷没找到最好的观看点，等我们走到歌剧院时，烟花已经放完了，我们只看到了一点尾声。所幸是晚上在家看到了烟花，12时，辞旧迎新之际，整个歌德堡城烟花璀璨，气氛热烈。

我们是晚上8点钟才吃饭的，包括危师兄，慧佳，Yuge，zhenzhen。危师兄继续发挥大厨风范，给我们做了煎饼，我给大家做了两道菜后，我们的新年晚餐开始了。饭后是9点多，我们五人一起玩斗地主，呵呵，因为有惩罚，玩的很尽兴，惩罚包括唱歌，伴唱，弹脑袋壳等等。不知不觉就到12点了，此时，城内开始放烟花，很漂亮的烟花，整个城市充满了节日的喜庆，大家忙着看烟花，摄像和许愿，我当然也许愿了几个，希望都能实现，最重要的一个是希望亲人和各位朋友都身体健康。新的一年来临了。大家心情都很好，斗地主到凌晨6点半呵呵。

最后还是祝大家新年快快乐乐，有一个辉煌和满意的2007年！
