Jag älskar dig, klass!

Hej min kära klass, kommer jag att relatera lite mer till Sverige! Do you know what that is? That’s my way to welcome you to my entry: Hello dear class, I’m going to relate you with Sweden a bit more!


Come on, get on with me in the Silverpilen! What? You don’t know what’s that? Well, I’ll have to explain you the story of the ghostMetro-train that runs in Stockholm… History says that the Silverpilen was the only train built in 1960 with Silver carriages. It was installed, and it wasn’t often viewed.  But then, all the trains of Stockholm’s underground were replaced by newer ones. Nevertheless, what thestory, the legend says is that after midnight, the train runs fastly by Swedish capital city’s subway. The Silverpilen is often related toKymlinge metro station, situated on line 11, never finished. This station is known in the city as the ghost station, and Stockholmares (people living in Stockholm) say that "only the dead get off at Kymlinge", so we are able to think that the train is a transport between the “world of the living” and “the beyond”.

As I’m the owner of this entry, I’ll change the destination of the train. Firstly, I’ll take you to the Mythology station. There are several fantasy characters as the Trolls usually represented as huge demons. In contrast, sometimes people say that humans weren’t the only clever being living in the Earth; there are lots of clever beings more as it’s the case of Trolls. Another famous mythological character is the Little Mermaid, a Nordic being. There’s a famous statue near Malmo, in the capital of Denmark,Copenhagen.

And now, we will travel to the Food station. Sweden isn’t well-known because of its food, but there are lots of delicious dishes as it’s theKöttbullar, a kind of meatball served with Brown sauce. Another famous plate is Pepparkaka, a cake eaten in Saint Lucia, the most famous holiday in Sweden, which is well-known worldwide.

To finish, I’d like to mention the most important cities in Sweden. The most-populated city, is its capital (Stockholm).  Not long ago, I saw that Stockholm opened the highest merry-go-round in the world, it was 120 meters high! Another important city is Gothemburg, the second most-populated, and Malmo, the third one.

To show you these fantastic cities, I’ve made a mix of Lynda Wudroff's videos, who presents in a humoristic way the important places of the country and Jukkasjärvi, a Swede town famed by its Icehotel. Sorry for the quality, you know how Windows Movie Maker is… If you are having problems watching it, click here.

    Questions about the video:
    1. She tried to touch the icy wall with her tongue and unfortunately, she stuck it to the wall.

    2. I think no because she smelled her snack and she put a strange face and she said that she will eat it later... I suppose she didn't eat it finally.

    3. I didn't understad very well... This is what I understood: It's famed by the chivalry and the hot dogs.

    4. According to her yes... but when she said hello to some people near to her they didin't say anything. She said: Maybe they don't speak English... hahaha
