Ten months here in Sweden its a very important part of my life, Learning, experience, Loving, hurting, forgiving and forgetting. This month is the last month with my Aupair life, last month for being with my wonderful host family.The last when u read its seem abit sad but in that word its meant to be manything beginning. I didn't write anything about my Aupair life for awhile manything has happen as usual. I don't have any chance to travel to visit the fosters kids at all but i still hoping and look forward for my next visiting anyway. I have done many activities with my Thai's friends here as ride a horse its was a very good experience to do it, went to temple together, walk around town together on Swedish National day. Soon on my birthday will have party with them at my home, its will be very fun and one good memory for us.
Last 2 month i was applied for a new permit that call Sambo Visa and now i still waiting in the line for get interview. Sambo Visa is If you or someone you love has been in a serious relationship with someone from another country, you are well aware of the dreaded V word: v-, v-, v-, VISA!!!! If you’ve been in a committed relationship with a Swedish citizen, preferably one where you’ve lived together before, then you can get a visa to live with that person in Sweden, plus the right to work. Oh yeah, and free Swedish lessons. And health care. (Pretty much the only thing you can’t get, actually, is the government stipend for full time students. You have to become a permanent resident for that.)
i feel like I am so grateful that the country of Sweden is as welcoming towards unmarried couples as it is. In Sweden, however, it’s nothing out of the ordinary. Living together with your boyfriend/girlfriend as a “sambo” is extremely common but not in Thailand,(Live together if parent not know thats not count) especially when things get a little more serious... well this is some meaning about Sambo Visa. I will let you know what going on later after everything done.
Now in Sweden still abit cool because of rain but i love this time coz day time is longer. I have not really much thing to update because as i told you i didn't have much chance to do much thing out from Sweden. I fell in love with the warm summer days, the easy-going lifestyle, the fact that the whole country seemed to be on vacation, running, swimming and the bicycles. I learned that waffles are a dessert item, not a breakfast food, and that the best way to eat them is covered in jam made of Cloudberries. I really look forward for real summer again as last year when i first came here.
I couldn’t have asked for a better year in Sweden. Though there were some things I would have changed, I found a way to work around others and find my own happiness in a foreign world. I feel like I am a changed person, not only do I speak some Swedish and more understand when they talk not fluently but i have gained the knowledge of how other countries work, but I have a whole new perspective on the world. I am more open to things and enjoy challenges. Above all, I think I understand myself better. I more understand what I want with myself and for my future.
I survived my year in Sweden as an Aupair without absolutely hating it, I accepted the challenge and handled it in the best way I could and came out successful. I could not ask for more this all are from my deep feeling. " You may not always end up where you thought you were going But You will always end up where you were meant to be "
