Thanks for the warm welcome  ;D

Yes, many animals to keep me busy.
Well, I'm not doing anything special now. Just go to school to learn Swedish, in the mornings.....I already did the special course for emigrants and now I'm studying more and more.
If you want to be a good guest, you need to intregate and learn how to speak the language.
After that, i want to study English as well.... ;)

Arvika is about 375 km away from here , (about 250 miles?)
