WHAAA....?

Hej! Yesterday I did almost nothing except clean my room, just like I said I would. I also Skyped with my parents and grandparents back home. Did you know that Skype was created by a Swede? He owns his own island here, I saw it a few weeks ago. Anyway, We talked for a while about a bunch of different stuff. There is a 99% chance that my family is going to buy a new house back home. The one we have right now is only a rental, and it's not big enough, so they will get the fun job of packing up all of the stuff I left at home and moving it into a new house. I just hope I get a nice room. Yesterday my host family booked our flights to Amsterdam! Yay!! We're going in the beginning of December and I can't wait! The amazing thing is that for me to go from Stockholm to Amsterdam and back is only $210(1,514 SEK)! I love the prices here. Everybody keeps saying "Don't you hate how everything is so expensive here?" Well I don't think everything is super expensive. But what I do like is how the taxes are already included in the price. If you go to a store in America with only 1 dollar, and you find a candy bar that says 99 cents, you might think you'll have enough. But, nope, in reality the price of it will be over a dollar because of the stupid taxes. Here in Sweden, If something says it's a price, it actually is! Isn't that great? I really love Sweden.
