Från februari till juni var jag i Europa i Tjeckiska Republiken att studera i Charles Universitet i Prag. Prag är en vackert stad med många gamla platser. Jag har varit till Sverige den här januari i 2010. Innan gick jag till Tjeckiska Republiken hade jag rest till Stockholm, Helsingfors, Tavastehus, Brno, och Bratislava.
Jag tycker om att fotografera saker, resa, och göra utomhusaktiviteter liksom cyklar och vandring. Jag är intresserad av främmande språk (japanska, slovakiska, och ju svenska), musik, filmer, arkitektur, samhällsvetenskaperna, och stadsplanering.
För musik gillar jag Owen Pallett (en kanadensisk sångare), Zемфира (eller "Zemfira" - en rysk sångare), She Wants Revenge (min nominell amerikansk band), och Dubmood (ju gillar jag en svensk musiker).
Jag vill gå till forskarskolan för stadsplanering om 2 år, men nu måste jag sluta min skolgång för internationell studier (så tråkig).
Hey what's up? My name is Nick. I'm from a really small town called East Tawas in Michigan. It's on Lake Huron, the second largest of the five Great Lakes in the US. It's a nice little town and there are lots of outdoor activities to do (like hiking, fishing, hunting, cross-country skiing, swimming, etc).
I was in the Czech Republic from February till June this past semester. I was studying at Charles University in Prague for a semester. Prague is such a beautiful city with so many old things - I'm sure you know. I've actually been to Sweden once right before I went to study in Prague. I was there in Stockholm for a two nights. It was a really nice city - even in the middle of winter! All of those small islands are nice and cozy. I stayed on Skeppsholmen in the auf Chapman. So great!
I like to take pictures, travel, and do outdoor activities like bike riding and hiking. I am interested in a lot of things like foreign languages (like Japanese, Slovak, and of course Swedish), music, movies and films, architecture, the social sciences, and urban planning.
Because I'm sure you'd like to get to know more music, I've shared some links above about some artists I like: Owen Pallett - a Canadian singer from Toronto; Zемфира - or just "Zemfira," a Russian singer who is pretty popular over there; my token American band She Wants Revenge - they are really cool; and I doubt you know or care but I really like Dubmood, a Swedish chipmusician.
I'd like to attend graduate school in a couple of years for urban and regional planning, but first I have to finish my boring degree in international studies.
Det var kul att jag kunde få berätta om mig till er. Leave a comment and I'll reply ASAP. :)

Just a few weeks ago in my hometown.
Jag med min pojkvän för nästan 5 månader sen.
How come that you chose to learn swedish? I've been to Prague twice and I'm in love with the city, it is very beautiful as you sad.
ReplyDeleteJag tycker om Sverige eftersom det är en progressiv land som människor i America kunde få lära sig från. Till exempel sjuksvård, tolerans mot HBT människor, och attityder mot varandras privat tro.
ReplyDeleteSweden is known for a place that harvests culture, tolerance, progressive thinking, innovation, etc. and I think to become more connected with such a culture it is important to learn the language.
Den andra bilden är från när jag var i Prag på Petřin Backe. Good times!
It make be happy to read what you've written about Sweden. It is very hard to appriciate it for me, because I'm used to it.
ReplyDeleteBut since Sverige Demokraterna became more popular and a member of our parlamentary has the attitude against people from other cultures and religions in Sweden detoriorated. It's sad. I hope that they don't get any more power, because they are very disrespectful against refuuges especially muslims.
Have you heard about Sverige Demokraterna?
I really like the picture! it looks like I'm seeing the photo on a spoon, cool.
Oh lovely to hear that you like Prague! My dad is born in the Czech republic and moved to sweden with my mum because of the communism that ruled Czech at that time. I've spent many summers there!
ReplyDeleteGabriella- Talar du tjeckiska också? Eller din pappa? Musím mluvít česky teď nebo zabudnut ten jazyk!
