The first days in Pristina


Now I've arrived, and started to feel a little bit at home, in Pristina - the capital of Kosovo, where I'm gonna spend the next 4 months! So far everything has exceeded my expectations, everyone is so nice, the apartment is great and the job seems interesting! :-)

I'm gonna work as an intern in the Swedish embassy together with about 15 people, of whom about half is Swedish and the others are Kosovoalbanians. And all of them are superfriendly! :-) I'm living together with the other Swedish intern Ella in a really big, really nice and really cheap apartment (Kosovo is the place to live nice!), and I'll post pictures of that later... Here comes some pictures of the view from one of our two balconys.



This is facing the city and the big tower closeby is the "minaret" of the mosque which calls to prayer at 5am every day (more times too, but that's the annoying time).



The other direction from the balcony. The red thing in the bottom of the building is our closest foodstore.



Ella is really nice, so I feel like it's gonna work out good living with her! We started bonding with talking a lot on the balcony the first night. After that the evenings have also been busy and this is the first "free" one. On Tuesday we were invited to a crayfish party (kräftskiva) with all the Swedish people in the embassy, really nice! :-) And on Wednesday we went to a bar called "the Cuban" with the intern in the Finnish embassy and met more people that she knew. It was a very nice evening, but we were tired so we went home early.




Jag och Ella




All the crayfish in the middle of the table and mandatory hats. It's possible to have a proper Swedish crayfish party in Kosovo! :-)


Jag har massa mer att berätta egentligen, men det får komma i lite senare inlägg. Ska försöka att skriva oftare nu! Har fått internet till lägenheten nu, men vi står i kö för att få trådlöst (de måste importera routern från Serbien eller nåt först), så nu delar vi på en sladd till båda våra datorer. Det betyder att vi får ta halva kvällen var, så nu är det snart Ellas tur.

Haha, älskar att de måste importera routern från Serbien! Det ger lite perspektiv på livet alltså. Det låter som att du har det toppen, så kul att höra av dig! Kram
