Sweden, England For Oshkosh | However, one thing she will definitely not miss is her curfew. Many things were different and new | to Malin. For instance, there was her school. In Kalmar, she attended ‘‘col- lege” which they call “gymnasium”, and she had all of her classes with ex- actly the same people, although they did switch classrooms as we do. In addi- | tion, the driving and drinking ages are higher. In Sweden, the former is twenty | and the latter is eighteen. As far as music is concerned, Swedish kids listen to pretty much the same groups as we do here. Malin liked Duran Duran and The Human League. Coming to West was an entirely new experience for her, but it was a good one. Because she liked people, she managed to meet a lot of them who contributed to her enjoyment of the United States. We welcomed her to our school and will miss her when she re- turns to Sweden. stand nearly as close together as they | do in Oshkosh. Martin came from a town called Vaxjo, which has the same number of people in it as there are in Oshkosh, but he thinks it is smaller area- wise. He, too, went to “gymnasium”, and has completed his first year already; he will begin the second upon his return. He agreed with Malin about the way his school is run, but added that they don’t have as many school dances as we do. Kids in his town go to special places to dance on the weekends. They also don’t have the same holi- days that we do. For example, they don’t celebrate a Thanksgiving, natural- ly, but they do have a Swedish holiday called ‘‘ex Lucia’’ and they celebrate Midsummer. | ‘ Martin Hellmark 39 Ne] atl .
