I live in heaven

If I haven' told you,

I now live in this little town in Sweden called Jönköping.

Read as yearn-sher-ping.

So Sweden is right here in Northern Europe.

And if we zoom in further,

Jönköping's right there in Southern Sweden,

at the southernmost tip of Lake Vättern (pictures in my previous post).

Jönköping's a small town of about 125 000 people.

Everyone here is generally very, very friendly.

I have to say the way they greet here's really cute.

Everywhere you go, on the buses/ at the cashier/ in the restaurants etc,

the locals would greet with enthusiasm

"Hej! Hej!"

Which sounds like

"Hey! Hey!" in English.

Very cordial and approachable.

So it just snowed heavily a couple days ago.
It's my first time seeing snow in my life,
so you can imagine my excitement.

Just one night, everything became snow-baked.

It's just so beautiful, everywhere.

Both shots were taken behind my apartment.
And we saw this snowman right outside our building,
I was really excited!

One of the main things Europe's struck me,

is the beautiful, (and I say this in bold and italics)

their BEAUTIFUL packaging and design everywhere.

So the shopping streets and mall's dotted with home decor stores like these.

And they have stuff with mad pretty vintage prints I absolutely love.

I would totally decorate my future home in European style like this.

My other fascination is with their insanely huge and beautiful candy stores.

I have a very sweet tooth and I fell in love with this store instantaneously.

A regular cafe - my kind of sanctuary.

Even their random dressing rooms are pretty like this!

So because it's CNY today, Sam and I finally decided to
break our scrimping and budgeting.
We each bought ourselves one item.

And check out the dressing room I tried my stuff in.

What can I say, mad pretty right?
All four sides of the room were mirrors.
And there was this circular hole through the door that
allows your friends to peep in without opening the door!

Okay snapping time!

Even the shopping bags are so well-designed.
This one on the right's the back of the receipt.

The immense amount of static's also made my hair crazy wavy at times.

I've got so much more I want to share I'll share them over my next few posts.

I want to end off with this noodle thing I made for dinner tonight!
Roomie said it was so good she'd eat it everyday.
Total ego boost for me hahaha

Night guys!
