Halloween,



Happy Halloween to everyone!
So, today is the Halloween day in many places. I got to know, that here in Sweden, that is not celebrate it as it is done most other countries in the World. Here, in Sweden, people will visit graveyard and will light a candle in their family members graves, who has been passed other side. That was something new for me at least, since I really thought that here is celebrating people also Halloween with pumpkins as many other countries are doing and with vampires. Here in the evening children will run to get candies and if they do not get anything, when they will be make some tricks. So, now can see, does anyone comes also to here to run and trick the candy :=) It would be my first experience here :)
Our first Halloween together with my boyfriend will be celebrated as Indian evening. Just to have something different. We will have Indian food and music and also Indian whisky and beer. It will be fun and also it will be interesting. Since I do love food from different continentals. It is nice to learn different kitchens and how they taste :)

Just another friday,

Here I am. Soon have lived at my new home 3 weeks. This time has passed quite fast so far, but I also have done a lot of things here. I have done personal security number, I have done new Swedish Id-card, opened bank account and so on and on...
Compared how things are here in Sweden and they are in Estonia, when there is quite big difference. In Estonia we are used more to use E-government. Here seems like they don't even know what it is. All here seems to go by filling papers. It feels like bureaucracy is still going here on, but so far I have survived.
Also have found small things to do, but at least it is something and that makes me feel like I am a human, and still can do some things. It feels nice and good.
Tomorrow is Halloween evening. In Estonia it has been started lately to celebrate, here seems traditions be bit longer. We will celebrate it as well at our home. Only thing is, that we will celebrate it bit untraditionally. Instead pumpkins, candies, blood, vampires and so on, we will have Indian evening with Bollywood music and Indian food. We will celebrate it together with friends and just enjoy nice and cosy evening together. It will be nice, since always is good to see friends and spend time with them.
So, now I will also close my pc down for tonight. Will go sleep, since tomorrow comes quite long day, and I have to prepare the dessert for us :P Hopefully it will taste well :P It should be, if it comes out as I want it to come out:P

It looked out good at least, now I just have to also hope that they taste also good, else all my hard work will end in garbage can and that is something I don't like that much. Here you can see also bit what I did:D :
