Dont think because you are in Africa and that I am in a first world developed country that things are always better.
Just a few things of the weeks thats been
There's been an outbreak of bacteria in the water in Östersund, thousands (read 20) of people have had been stricken with stomach ailments this last week. There is a plea to boil all our water, even for brushing teeth. Ja ok thanks.
The train service has been given a dunce award this week, after refusing to assist a disabled man off at his stop, so he had to travel to the last stop in the train line. This comes one week after I had a lovely 12 hour ride with the train service, which actually was a bus ride, not a train.
Temperatures have not risen about -7. This means that everything is frozen outside. It also means that bikes dont work to well. My bike for one disintegrated, it fell apart. Other peoples bikes have snapped chains, brakes fail due to being iced up. And most people have at least one story of falling off on ice.
On the other hand, things still work, Christmas comes early, its the first advent so there are lights, candles and decorations everywhere. The smell of glögg and spices fills most peoples places you visit and everywhere people are getting more cheery and actually respond to a friendly hello.
So just signing off from another average week...
