The last one...

One crazy month to end it all.

One month before working in a company.

One month to taste all the pleasures that student life can offer.

I'm back from Barcelona, party town, summer town. I'm now full of souvenirs that I will never forget!! Ari, Laura, it has been immensily great to come and to be hosted by you!! Barcelona always brings me a nice smile! Thanks to all of you who help me feel that way when I look back in the past!! One picture to sum it up all...


Barraques...

And tomorrow i'm heading for Brussels to meet some friends. And back in Paris to meet Audrey Christelle Roland and Pel. Sweet dinner, sweet evening, can't wait to see you again!

Next stop will be London. Then meeting some old friends from Karlsruhe in the middle of nowhere in France, with some Don Simon in my bag.

And finally, family trip to Saint Petersburg if my internship allows me to... Let's see...

All this with of course some good classical moments in Grenoble with my dear old friends: playing tennis, going running, having some drinks, but also going to see Placebo in a festival, organizing a mad pub crawling and probably more!!

This will be my busy month of july. And I hope you will be part of what will come next...

I don't think I will update this blog anymore from now on. But you can reach me on my phone +336 20 57 15 31, on my skype babyjay84 or on my msn jeromeskywalker at hotmail dot com. Emails work too: jerome.henry at gmail dot com. Cela rechauffe toujours le coeur de recevoir un message d'un ami...

Keep in touch. And I really mean it (since you have read all of what comes before hehe!).

And never forget to keep that happy wide smile I love so much in case I can't be around to check!!

The end, almost...

Sweden is over, but the erasmus year isn't over yet! I still have 10 days to complete it!

And to end it with style, Guillaume, Pel, Youssef and myself are driving to Barcelona! Be sure it's gonna be rock'n'roll!!

Until then, I'm just relaxing at home. Reading next to the pool. Under the sun. Near the mountains.

The pool.

On the right.



And where I read.

...the end...

My time in Sweden is now over.

Sad and hard, but I think I had my share of trips, parties, craziness, meeting cool and sweet people...

It's all memories now. Beautiful pictures. Beautiful souvenirs. Beautiful images.

I will never forget this year nor all of you who I've met!!

Thanks for all, thanks to all...

See you very soon!

Last eramsus night...

And finally, after one year of madness, smiles, meeting wonderful people, and parties, the end of my erasmus year came...

But since I had to leave, why not do it with style?

I decided to live this last day until the very end and not to waste even an hour! Me and all my friends remaining in Stockholm went to Osvik, a house owned by the KTH student union in the Archipelago! Again after Björnö! A party was organised there by an english friend.

Right after packing all my stuff and cleaning my bedroom, I just had some time to go buy some mountain dew to help me not falling asleep and meet the others at the bus stop.

Audrey, Christelle and Pel again, but also Youssef, Laura and other friends from Supélec this time!

The fun started in the bus, where I managed to have the driver sing a french song! So funny!

Pel and Christelle!


Laura and Audrey!

And the driver!!


Having fun with the headbands.



We then arrived in Osvik. After taking some crazy pictures with our red sweaters and our headbands (again...)...




...we went to the sauna. And then we went for a swim in the sea. Warm + cold = fun!!


And the party continued ouside...


Supelec crew!


Youssef!


Laura and me!


People around the fire.


And things went on inside!

My favorite Audrey with me!


Mathilde and Laura!


Yeah!


Oh yeah!


Pel and Laura!


After the cold night before under the tent, and with addition to the sauna, my throat started aching... Need some warm drink!


The first bus was at 6am. You could feel people getting tired by then...


Me as well...


We eventually took the bus and arrived back in Stockholm, where I said goodbye to all of them... Sad, but I should see Laura (and Ariadna) in 2 weeks, and I'll get to see Christelle, Audrey, Pel etc in Paris too. It helped...

And as they went to sleep, I went to the airport...

Björnö

Since the Gotland trip didn't motivate so many people, we went for the back-up trip in the Archipelago, which turned out to be really great!!

Christelle had read about a really nice island in the Archipelago named Björnö (litteraly Bear Island). So why not go there? And Christelle had Audrey, Pel and me come to Björnö allong with her.

We took a bus from Stockholm that brought us into the Archipelago. Then after some time walking, we finally arrived to the place. Time for a break.


The island was really beautiful. Pure nature, no human activity, nice weather. Perfect to forget about the stress of the week and spend a great time with great friends, soon before departue.

After walking around the island, we agreed on a place to set our tents. In pictures.


With water!


And here we go!


First tent.


And second one.



After some time, we finally succeeded!


Nice colors!


Once the tents set, we couldn't resist to the temptation in climbing in the tree that you can see behind us on the previous pictures.



We then went for a little walk around. How the island looks like.



And after contemplating that small lake, we started playing cards next to it.



Audrey on the phone near the lake a bit later.


After a while, we noticed that some cows had arrived not so far from us, so we deciced to go say hello to them!


Pel and I with our headbands. Ready to go close from the cows!



I tried to fed one...


Headband!


Then we came baco to the lake to admire the sunset...



The girls too tried the headbands.


We went on playing cards...


... until it became too cold. We then moved to our tents. It's still cold!!


I managed to tie Christelle's socks!! I was proud!


Pel and me.


The next morning, the sun (and the rough conditions, including loads of mosquitoes) woke us up quite early. Pel even woke up for the sunrise, at about 4am.


We had a nice sunny breafast.


Then we walked to some beach, but didn't have time to go for a swim since there were not so many buses.



And finaly came time to come back...


I really had a wonderful time camping on Björnö! A beautiful place, with great friends! Thanks for all!
