Stockholm

Last month, I travelled to the Swedish city of Stockholm with my school choir. It was only four days long, out of which two days were solely for travel, but it was amazing anyway. We did a lot of sightseeing, including the King's castle and the Globe, and went shopping in the evening. We were hosted  by the students of Stockholms Estetiska Gymnasium. Estetiska Gymnasium was a school of art, with many aspiring musicians, dancers and actors attending it. I lived with the family of one of the choir members, and I had an amazing experience with them. On the last evening, we had a small concert, where we performed along with their choir, followed by a party for all of us.

Copenhagen

I travellled to Copenhagen twice last week, once with my host mom, and later with my friend. It was amazing to see how two big cities like Mumbai and Copenhagen can be similar, yet different from each other. With my host mom, I saw severeal places, such as Christenshavn, Christiania, Nyhavn and Amalienborg. I also went on a boat tour through the canals of Copenhagen and saw The Little Mermaid, the newly made Opera House, and some of their oldest ships. I most enjoyed walking through the streets of Christiania. It was quite an interesting neighborhood; abstract art filled the walls, the houses were differently built, and small wooden ships lined the lake. It was beautiful.

A attended the Game of Thrones exhibition later that week, and managed to get onto the Iron Throne and the Hall of Faces.

Confirmation

My host sister, Celine, was confirmed on the 22 of April. It was great to be a part of such an important day in her life, and experience a large part of the Danish culture. My host family held a party for their friends and family after the ceremony.

It's summer in Denmark again! The weather is finally great after some pretty unfortunate weather (including snow in April).

I have only about a month left in Denmark, It's going to be so odd not living in this absolutely stunning country, but at the same time, I also miss my family and friends in India now.

My Euro tour starts next week!
