Museum time!
We went to a museum this week, well last weekend now, but that doesnt matter. What matters is that I had a wonderful time. We went to the science museum here in Malmö. Its awesome. Its divided into sections, and that is pretty helpful. Otherwise it would seem like a giant mess. The first section that we went to was what I am going to call the airplanes section. Basically it covers the history of flight, from the Swedish point of view. It was actually really interesting, because they had an actual old military plane, as well as its engine on display. but they also had models of all the different types of planes produced here in Sweden. It was just cool to see all the different types of planes, and to know that they all came from Sweden was also pretty cool. After that section we headed upstairs to the section where we spent most of our time, the kids museum. I understand that sounds like a silly thing to do, seeing as I am now 20 years old, and Anton is 22, BUT it definitely was an amazing experience! It was so much fun. For those of you who are familiar with it, this part of the museum was a lot like COSI. It was great. There was so much to do, so many things to play with! It was just a great time all around! I didnt get a lot of pictures from this part, because it was mostly about interacting with the things around you, so its a bit tough to get a picture that tells the story. I guess its just something that you have to experience yourself. If you ever come to Malmö I highly recommend visiting this museum. I think I am just going to finish describing the rest of the museum, and then put the pictures at the end. That seems like the appropriate thing to do, since I have already described most of it. So the last rooms we went into were also really neat, we walked back downstairs, and into a room that had trains, and bicycles. There was also an upstairs section that had a bunch of taxidermied figures, and plenty of educational videos about atoms. It was really fun, and I learned a lot, and it was just overall an amazing experience. We went upstairs first, then worked our way back down, then we found the highlight of that room. it gave you access to get onto the submarine... I dont have a picture of it, but I promise that I will go back next week and take a picture. I was planning on going back next week anyways, because this was only half the museum, and then there is also a castle. So dont worry, my trip might be ending, but there is still TONS of fun in the next week. Take for instance this weekend, we are celebrating Anton's brother Axel's birthday, as well as mothers day, but we also are going to go to the glass museum, and go hiking up a mountain. Its going to be awesome. I am coming home officially the 4th of June, and although I am not super happy, because I would have loved to be able to stay, I understand that I cant, and am going to get my paperwork in so that I can come back as soon as I can. I also know that it will be nice to be able to personally share this experience through pictures and food with family and friends when I get home. But just because I am coming home don't expect me to stop blogging. I will still be going on adventures, just smaller ones, and I will be taking my sister and family along for these ones! So for now I will stop writing, and share the pictures:
