Hiking around and a flea market!

Just the other day, a few singaporeans and myself decided to go on a hike around the forest behind gama linkoping. I have been hearing stories of how there are reindeers and unicorns in the forest so i had to see for myself if it was true before the harsh winter comes and freaks every animal out. We had a terrible start as i went into the wrong forest route leading to a dead end but with the "encouragement" from JH we decided to bash though the thick overgrowth only to find ourselves on a highway. Still we made our way to gama linkoping and to the forest behind it.

 How to identify a forest
Step 1: find tall trees
 Step 2: Find short houses that look empty, this marks the beginning of a forest
 Step 3: Find instruments of torture plastered onto wooden boards such as this
 Step 4: always check the warning signs
 Step 5: the toilet should be out of reach
 Step 6: leaf specimens should be displayed
 Step 7: And you have found your forest!


 OMG ITS TRUE, THERE ARE WILD ANIMALS 
 Some fake pigs trying to pass off as real ones. Speaking of which, i miss roast pork
 Its really nice to jog here, air is really good and you get to see the occasional cow
 A slope we found that would be fun during winter for sledding
 Slug. someone suggested we put salt on it. Thank God no one had salt
 Moments before JH tried to sit on the fence
 Horses!!!


 This dear horse came galloping towards us once he saw us eating chocolates. I guess everyone loves chocolates
 MY HORSE
 the horse is actually really big, cant really tell from this picture but being used to only large dogs, took me awhile before realise how big a horse is
 Being bored, the horse trotted away. Theres a bathtub as their drinking point lolol
 GOATS




 And yes, the goats were drawn to us because of the choclates too. So if you want to be an animal whisperer, just bring loads of chocolates
 Reminds me of Noahs ark, but just that its a farmhouse
 My school! the farm is actually part of my school so after walking way off we actually found ourselves at the back of campus!


 Linkoping university has no high rise buildings so doesnt make you feel all clustered up like NTU

 Orientation games by da swedes, being aliens we can only watch. :(
 O yes this was a flea market we saw yesterday! In linkoping town
 Wanted to buy the monitor, but didnt in the end :(





I bought a few swedish badges and a bicycle basket! I love flea markets cause you never know what you can find! esp cause its cheap too. Call me karang guni but yes i love buying good second hand products.
