Short time in the town. Kinda regret it

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆Leave a comment

Why did I forgot?

Today I had to go to the town for the first time in a long time. Due to my bad mental health, I haven’t had energy, etc., to just go. But I have noticed since I came home from Italy, it has gotten a bit better. Thank God.

Pharmacy, cafelatte caramel, cardamom bun, art, selfie, books and window shopping.

Today’s outfit. I had a long shirt and a pair of shorts. I still try to get out of my comfort zone, so today I went to the town like this.

The shoes I have on are from Primark in Italy. I’m trying to “walk in” them, so luckily I had an extra pair in my bag.

(Also, don’t ask me what I’m doing in the second picture because I have no idea.)

While waiting on the pharmacy to open after lunch, I decided to go and have my first caramel caffe latte in a long time. Thank God I took water because, oh my god, how sweet the latte was. I had totally forgotten how sweet it is. I forced myself to drink it all (blood sugar was going down) and also eat the bun. But it… made me struggle, I’m not gonna lie.

While sitting here, I charged my headphones. All of a sudden, while I was listening to music on the bus, a person said in my headphones, “Low battery” and I hate that, so I was charging at the cafe while playing some game on the phone.

When i was done with my fika I went to the pharmacy but they still weren’t open. Frustrating for me, im not gonna lie, so I decided to go “window shopping” except it wasn’t through windows.

I didn’t purchase anything. It was alright just looking around. Found these cute little handbags; I was tempted to buy them, but what would I use them for? I tried to come up with something to use it for, but I couldn’t, so I left them.

Normally I just walk past the bookstore, but today my head actually told me to go check the books out, so I did. I havent read a book since 5th grade, so for me actually wanting to buy one book to read is super duper rare. Unfortunately I didn’t find anyone that caught my interest.

So this was a short, little brief post about what I did today.

I’m actually going to bed now. Dentist tomorrow and I am not ready for it 😭 # phobiaofthedentist

Goodnight my loves!

Tomorrow I’m going to sneak-charge the tab I own (and lend it out to E) so I can start writing on my blog through that one as well.

Anyway, my eyes is heavy so I’m going to put down my phone and sleep.

Words And Sentences To Learn Before Traveling To This Beautiful Country

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆Leave a comment

I had an idea to actually start a little series of posts with words and sentences to learn when visiting/traveling to Sweden.

I am a Swedish person, and I know many struggle with learning Swedish, and because I love to teach people, I decided to have fun and teach you Swedish!

Some sentences will be long so I recommend you copying the words and sentences and use an app or website so you can listen how they can be pronounced.

A bit of information about Sweden and the Swedes

Okay, whether if you have been to Sweden or are planning to travel here, you should know that we are very friendly and helpful. Most of us are honest people, so if you accidentally forgot something like a wallet, a piece of clothing, or so, we will turn the wallet over to the closest shop or police station. The clothing we will add to a higher spot at the same spot you dropped it. Not all are honest, though, so be prepared for that. Almost everyone of us who has Facebook will also post in the groups where you are in about the stuff.

Now to the class #1

Formal words & sentences and how to greet and interact with people.

Hej means Hello

Hej då means Bye

Hur mår du? means How are you?

Jag mår bra, tack! means I’m good, thank you!

Ursäkta, men var ligger X (the location’s name)? means Excuse me, but where is X (location name)?

Tack så mycket! means Thank you very much!

Transportation

Ursäkta, men jag ska till X (location) men vet inte hur jag tar mig dit. Kan du hjälpa mig? means Excuse me, I’m going to X (location) but dont know how to get there. Can you help me?

Buss means Bus

Tåg means Train

Spårvagn means trolly / tramp

Tunnelbana means Subway

Taxi is the same as Taxi on English

Let me know what words or sentences you would like to learn. Comment, and I will translate them to Swedish for you.
