The area outside Hessegården was very white and beautiful and Mimi really loved the snowy landscape but not the cold winds that blew in our faces when we walked from the car to indoors :-). In Hessegården Mimi meet the elderly living in one of the wards, they where all just as friendly to her as they had been with Rose and Season yesterday and the day before.
Mimi asked a lot of questions and me and Marko tried to answer them best we could in English, some Swedish words are just hard to explain since they don't have any perfect English translation. But Mimi did great and even understood when we couldn't find the words!
Mimi was truly really impressed with how we take care of our elderly with dementia in Hessegården, and I know she will take the experience and knowledge she got here and put it in good use when she gets back to Wuhan. :-)
In the afternoon, after lunch at Oktaven we went to Kupolen mall to shop. The girls bought some watches, a lot of chocolate and a few other things like tea and cosmetics. One thought thou; It is really hard to find products beside from cosmetics that are not 'made in China'. A lot of the stuff in Kupolen is made in China. We told the girls that on sunday when we get to the christmas market in Tällberg there will be handmade products from Sweden. Hopefully they have some money to spend on that too :-)
Tomorrow we all get a visit from one of our Chinese friends at our home. And we get to show them how we live, treat them to typical swedish 'husmanskost' and do some fun activity with them. But I'm not gonna spoil what the plan is exactly, that I'll tell you when we've done it. But it involves snow :-D
Have a good night and a good sleep, I know I will. Peace!
