Our memorable trip to Sweden ended on the 28th of March with a dinner hosted by us at hotel Indira. All our Swedish friends who had visited us in India, along with the teachers and others who hosted us so well, attended this dinner.
At dinner, us Indians showed off our knowledge of the newly learned language, by ordering in Swedish. The Swedes had the opportunity of trying out Indian cuisine in Sweden itself! We ordered dishes like the spicy Chicken Tikka Masala, Malai Chicken Sizzler, which even for our seasoned Indian taste buds was a tad hot; I pitied the Swedes, lucky for us, the Raita and drinks saved us all!
We then celebrated Sir Tony’s birthday, with him cutting a delicious Trio Cake, and all of us relishing it! With wished him luck and all good things! God Bless you sir!
We then exchanged gifts and posed for photographs, hoping all the while that we could freeze time! Not able to do that, we chose to cherish the memories of the fortnight spent full of new experiences, friendship and interaction. And what a better memento of our time here than the lovely photo frame with a photo of all of us Swedes and Indians standing side-by-side smiles all around gifted to us! We will truly cherish it. As a token of our love and appreciation our college gave each Swede a small bag of goodies.
We bade goodbye to each other and returned back to the hostel, sad to leave, yet happy to soon return home to India. Our time in Sweden passed so quickly, yet our memories and friendships will last a lifetime! This is Dorothy Furtado saying Hej då! Goodbye Sweden!
