Swedish living

Hello!

Today I want to talk about ordinary life in Sweden.
Bathroom
 I live in a 3 room apartment. I do not own the apartment, I just rent it. That is quite common. In my last post you saw my living room. Here I'm going to show the rest of it.  When you say a 3 room apartment you mean that you have three rooms but you also have a bathroom and a kitchen in the apartment. To the right you can see my bathroom.  I really enjoy to take a long hot bath in the bathtub! Especially when you come home and it is freezing cold outside like it is now in Sweden!

In the kitchen I cook my meals. On the weekdays I eat lunch in school so I only eat breakfast at home before I go to work and then something small when I get home from work and the gym.
Kitchen

 But on the weekends I like to cook! Either just for myself or for guest if I have any. In Sweden we use electric stoves. You put the pot on the cooking plate and you turn the knob at the front. There is one knob for each cooking plate. You can adjust the heat on the plate so that you get the heat that you want. There is usually four cooking plates on a stove, that means that you can cook four different things at the same time. For example boil rice on one, fry meat on another and then make a sauce on a third.
Under the cooking plates is the oven. In the oven you can bake bread or roast a steak or grill some chicken. The two knobs to the left is for the oven. One is to turn it on and to adjust how you want the heat, from above or from below or from both above and below. You can also use the grill. The second knob adjusts the heat. For example 220 degrees.
Liverpool room!/guest room

Bedroom
If I have guests they can sleep over at my guest room. In here it is all red and Liverpool things everywhere!! I call it my Liverpool room! So if you are coming to visit you better be a Liverpool supporter otherwise you will probably feel sick!


I always sleep with the window open, even when it is below zero outside!! So during the winter you have to have a thick down cover to sleep under so that you can keep warm! One morning, when I had my bed just under the window, I woke up and I was covered in snow!! It had been snowing in trough the open window during the night!! After that I moved the bed away from the window!
That is all for this time!
