Hej hej!

I’m Thais and I’m one of the brasilian participants of the Youth Exchange Program of this year. I’m almost done with my first period here in Sweden. It’s only one week away from the next meeting with the other participants. And all that I’ve been experimenting here is just amazing!
I’ve been staying in Sävar, near Umeå for the last four weeks, enjoying everything about snow and cold. In Brasil we never have snow, so all of this is so new to me and I really like it. I went skiing, sliding in the snow, making snowmen, having snow fights, going scooter and everything else about the winter here.
In the other hand, I’m also learning about the Church of Sweden. I’ve been to youth, kids and adult choirs. Parenting group, with smaller kids. Different types of services, like one in the hills that we went by scooter. Youth groups that are so fun. We went to a kids camp and later we’re going to a youth camp. I also experimented the Easter here and saw all the sweden traditions.
Other thing that we’re trying here is the Sweden culture. We have been to a school, the pool, other cities around here and museums. Later we’re going to a fire station and the university too. It’s all very interesting and beautiful because is so different from my country. And it’s very nice to share our costumes with them and learn about them too.
The whole experience is been amazing for me. I feel I can fly all the world now!
