Holidays in Umeå

In the meanwhile I've finished university in Umeå which means that I'm kind of on holidays here. :) I'm still here because on the 10th February there is a winter market in Jokkmokk which is "near" from here. Let me explain "near". It's four hundred kilometers, so more than from St.Gallen to Geneva which I think is veeeery far. But as I'm already that close (who knows when I'm next time in Northern Sweden in February...) it would be a pity to miss this market. I'll visit someone in Luleå and from there it's not that far anymore.

If you're interested in the market, visit www.jokkmokksmarknad.com. It's a market about Sami culture and they sell handcrafts, have exhibitions, organise dog seldding trips, concerts...

See you soon at home....
