[SWEDEN] Trying to normalize

I've been in Europe now for about 3 weeks, but I still don't feel settled in. I am still living out of my suitcase in a hotel room in Lund, and even if it is a nice hotel room in a nice part of the city, I probably won't feel any semblance of normalcy until I've moved into my "permanent" apartment here and unpack fully.

As such, I haven't really done anything yet. For the most part it's been work, eat, watch TV and go online. I decided I needed to do something different this weekend. Something that would make me feel like I actually live here.

So earlier tonight I watched 'Casino Royale' in a cinema. The movie ticket cost a fortune, at least to me - 100 kronor or about P700. Geez! For that amount I could've watched seven films in SM, or 4 in Powerplant. I had to think about it for a while, whether or not I wanted to spend that much money on a movie. But in the end I decided it would be worth it for me to be some place I haven't be to since I got here and yet do something familiar. And when I stepped out the movie house, I did feel it was worth it. The movie was pretty good too.
