Liseberg

Hej Hej!
Jag liver! Last Saturday my host dad and host sister took me to Liseberg, one of the biggest amusement park in sweden. It is in Gothenburg which is about an hour and a half drive from Halmstad. It was super uper fun, it reminded me of Lagoon. The first ride we went on was the Balder and it was a roller coaster that had a 70% downgrade (I think thats what you call it) anyway it was really awesome. Then we on the Canon which only lasted for about 15 seconds but it was intense. You went through alot of loops and went upside down, it was intense. After that we walked around and went to the swings which were basically big hammer looking things that would swing back and forth really high, it was fun. There were alot of rides but my favorite was called the Atmosfear. Its one of those rides where they pull you up really high and then drop you. We went super uper duper high and dropped us pretty quick, the scariest part was that you didn't slow down until you were past the roof of the building. So when you are going down it looks like you are going to hit the building but you don't. There was another one like the Atmosfear but it was a little smaller. Even though it was smaller it was way way way more scary that the Atmosfear, because once they get you to the top you sit there for what feels like forever and you have no idea when it is going to drop and the anticipation is what kills you and makes it so scary haha. I made Susanna and Claes do the bumper cars, Claes thought that it was too childish but in the end he loved it and we ended up doing it again haha. We went on alot of roller coasters, and I have never really been a roller coaster ride or any kind of rides person because usually I get really queasy and its not fun at all but in Liseberg I didn't feel sick at all except for on one ride. It was called the SpinningStone or something like that. I did fine while the ride was going but it wasn't until after it stopped that I got queasy. It had an arm that would swing back and forth and then the seat you were sitting in would turn every now and then but not all that often. It was fun though. We ended up going on the Balder again and then for last we went on the Colorado which is pretty much the same thing as Rattle Snake Rapids in Lagoon, just not as awesome. Claes did one of those little....I don't know what you call it.....booths? on the side that you have to pay for and you win prizes. Anyway he did that and won a hug box of Geisha which is some of the best chocolate in sweden. So now we have an unlimited supply of geisha for a while. So spending time in Liseberg was AWESOME! I think I will have to go again this summer with friends. On Sunday night I wen to Rosie's place and stayed the night and took the train to school in the morning. On Monday for school we played Bränbol which is a swedish game that is so much fun, its pretty close to baseball with a few differences, when I get home I am definitely getting everyone together for a Bränbol match, I think you guys will like it. Oh ya I just remembered I need to post pictures of Sollefteå for you guys, I will get on that soon! Anyway tomorrow is Sweden's national day so we don't have any school. I don't know what we are going to do but I am sure I will have fun. Then thursday I don't think there is anything important for school so I think maybe one of my friends from school is going to come to Halmstad and we are going to hang out for a bit. Then Friday is graduation and school is OUT!!!!! I am so excited for summer!!!! Only a month and a few days till I am home :). Hope everyone is doing fantabulous!
Love,
Micah
