My picture in the newspaper to a Big Band concert!
So I went back to school on Wednesday and I gave a presentation about the Rotary exchange program with the other exchange students, Jarryd, Stephano and Jacob, a Swede who went to New Zealand and came back. We set up a power point projector and showed some pictures and web sites. We wore our Rotary jackets, handed out brochures and talked to students passing by. 2 newspaper reporters came by and took some pictures and notes about what we were doing and on Saturday, there was a picture of Jarryd and I in the newspaper!
Thursday I got rid of my cold enough to play at Blaspopperna. Friday I went to a church youth group meeting at a Pentecostal church. It was a small group of nice people and we discussed the different ways to pray to God. It was very different from the youth group meetings I'm used to but it was still fun.
Saturday was a relaxing day, the most interesting thing we did was wash all the sheets and linen in the house then flatten it in the pressing machine. This machine has a big roller in it that wraps the sheets around it and they come out flat, with no heat or steam.
Sunday, I went to church, a Lutheran church this time. It was a more interesting servive than the lat tome I went there which was 2 weeks previous, because they christened a baby and children were involved in the service; the singing and story time. Afterwards, we had fika and I made some new acquaintances, one of them was the young lady who played the piano in the church, Karin. Later, I met her again at the Big Band concert that night. She's the singer in the black dress. I went to the concert the string bass player, Anders, who I met at a Rotary meeting. We left at 3pm to get to Soderham, a town 45min. south of Hudiksvall, and set up for the concert and have time for a practice. They are very good!! And the concert was all Glenn Miller's music so I recognised some of the songs and I really like jazz!! I tried recording some songs but the sound quality on my camera doesn't do them justice, you have to be there to really appreciate their music. It was a good time!
