Recovery Day
Man, it really is tired after cooking for the whole of yesterday: I slept till 11 am today. Nothing productive actually; as usual. Just like every Sunday: I did some hand-washed laundry and sweeping of the room. Isn't it weird: the window isn't open but there is always some balls of dust in the room after a few days. I don't even have this much "dust-balls" back in my PGP room. I remember reading that dust composed mainly from very small bits of human outer-skin "shedding"; if this is true then my skin must be shedding extra hard in Sweden.
FM 933's Internet radio is quite jerky back in Singapore and I rarely listen to Internet broadcast. I came to realise that the Internet in Lund is very fast; very very fast. I transferred a 400 MB video to my friend in Sparta (not another country; another student accomodation) and it took like 3 min! And I thought Internet radio wouldn't be as jerky as in Singapore bah. Yup, it's pretty smooth. Like now (0520 in Singapore), I think no one is listening to the Internet broadcast and the sound is very smooth. In the afternoon, I think there are too many listeners and the sound is a bit jerky with occasional streaming error. But whatever, it was enough to satisfy my thirst for Chinese pop and to keep in touch with the lastest songs.
It has been another day of planning for me. Travelling with Songning in June-July, and it has been decided that I am planning for the Switzerland-Spain-Germany leg of the journey. It's amazing how much time I can spend planning all the transport between countries and in a country; 5 full hours surfing around. Actually, it's quite boring and fustrating to see that the budget airlines don't service certain cities: it totally screws up the whole planning. For example, I was planning to fly from Munich to Copenhagen and there was no budget airline! Darn, got to replan almost everything. Then, got to find out the cheapest flight somemore. It's ridiculous how much the airlines can differ and on different days. Well, now that everything is done: I am quite proud of the results. Nice, cheap flights with smooth connections. Now, lets hope the airline companies and railway services don't change schedule at the last minute.
Going to Kiruna this coming Thursday and doing some last minute planning. My transport is settled but the activites are in a mess. Thinking of joining some tour group for dog-sledding and Lappish culture visit; let's hope they reply this last-min person quick.
