Christmas in Sweden

On my way to Sweden to celebrate Christmas. Has a flight ever been so slow? Normally I would fall asleep in a second, but for some reason I can't.
I feel like a little kid, waiting for Santa. Looking at the clock once every 30 second to see if I will soon be home.
Thank god that I have my iPhone, and that I got the idea to write a few rows here.

The staff on this plane really use a lot of perfume...

It still feel very good with the new job and my new home country. I am settling in well and the social life that I have here is practically the same that I had in Sweden, just the people that has changed.

In Basel there's an excellent network with trams, busses and trains. They are almost never late. The funny thing though is that the tickets are very seldom checked. People jump on and off where and when they like and the system anyway seem to work. And people do buy there tickets, cause that's what the rules say!

Now 30 minutes until we land in Copenhagen. We're flying towards a bit darker north. I think we have 2 more hours of daylight in Switzerland actually.

Another thing that was a bit surprising and that I didn't think about before I moved is that since there are no coastal areas in Switzerland fish is not so easy to get a hold of. It's such a natural part in Sweden, fish is common! In Switzerland it's not. A chock really. But friends say that you should go to France to buy fish. :) I could do that.

My Christmas shopping has unfortunately not been prioritised in the jungle of things that I have had to learn about my new country, therefore most of the presents needs to be found tomorrow and on Sunday. Puh.., always the last minute.

20 minutes to go. We're closing in. Soon we're even below the clouds!

On the plane I have quite a few of my colleagues, we are a lot of swedes at the office. There's actually very many different nationalities represented. It's only the Swiss people that's not so well represented.

Now we're landing!!!
