Let's take a trip!

Stockholm
This past week our international advisor arranged a student trip. After a scenic 7½ hour bus ride we finally reached our first destination—Stockholm. Stockholm was a refreshing taste of city life, with a nice mix of restaurants, shopping, scenery and history. I personally could have spent at least a week more there, but two days was enough to break my bank account. The highlights of Stockholm had to be experiencing hustling and bustling Swedish city life and upgrading from McDonalds to eating a true American meal at TGIF, mmm tasty.




Church in Estonia
The third day we hopped aboard the cruise ship Baltic Queen to Tallinn, Estonia with around 800 other exchange students from the Scandinavian area. We met students from New York, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, and even UND! (only after chasing him down three flights of stairs because he was wearing a University of North Dakota shirt...small world.) We docked and toured Estonia and danced one more night away on the cruise ship before our return home. Sleep deprived and hundreds of pictures later, I can say these are the “aha” moments that make me realize studying abroad was the best choice I ever made. —xoko
