International Friends
I met many many Asians today. Firstly, a group of five Hong Kong students – all from business school. It seems like all the Hong Kong people I have met are all from business school. Two Japanese law graduates who are having their graduation trip. They have been as unlucky as I am: they have failed to see the northern lights despite staying up for two nights. Well, perhaps they are more unlucky than me. And Dion, who is an Aussie. He is sleeping now. So I must keep this typing short to avoid disturbing him.
I went to the LKAB iron-ore mine today. Just like the Sami culture trip, I was the only non-Swedish person. This time, no English for me. I joined a Swedish-speaking tour as it’s the only one available today. But luckily, I was given an English guide booklet to read as the tour was being conducted.
The souvenirs were some iron-ore pellets and piece of iron-rich rock. Amazing stuff: magnets actually attract the very ordinary looking rocks.
I am going to stop here cause I am sleeping for two hours and waking up at 0000 and, hopefully, see the northern lights.
