Day 1: 5-10-2019.
At around 5.00 am. I woke up, since my flight would depart at 8.45 am. This was the first time flying on my own, it was very exciting but I was feeling anxious at the same time. I had no one supporting me if I needed help, but luckily my dad helped me towards the security. We went to the KLM area where a woman at the desk was so kind enough to print my boarding pass. However, after that part I ended up being on my own, but the most important task was over. My final assign was to find my gate, not a big of a deal. Just following the boards and arrows to the right direction, I actually found my way over there very easily. Half an hour before boarding I sat there watching netflix and waited for the right time to get on to the plane. At around half past eight I went through the ‘security’ and later found my seat in the airplane. The flight was only two hours long, but I still got some sandwiches and a cup of tea. During the flight I watched Netflix, listened to music and eventually talked with my neighbours. The one sitting next to me, came from Canada because he had a project to do and was now flying to Sweden where he lives himself. We talked about what I was going to do in Sweden and he told me about his time so far in Sweden why it is a nice place to live such kind of things, we had a nice conversation. Half past ten almost landing time, I was preparing to meet my family, I was so excited. Around eleven I was completely finished, got my luggage from the band where I checked it in. Around twelve a clock, my uncle picked me up. I waited for at least an hour, he was each time at the wrong terminal. It was much colder than I expected it to be. It was only three degrees. I met my cousins, they were so cute. We went home, ate lunch. My uncle had prepared some nice Kurdish dish it was delicious. After lunch my cousins and I played for a long time. One cousin a girl who is seven, Laniya and another one a boy Lawin who is four. They liked me and I liked them. I gave them my presents. Until, I guess 16.30 we had played we went outside to the park. It was nearby, the park was quite big and real fun. We jumped rope with random people, played football, climbing and went swinging. At 18.30 pm we went home and around 19.30 we ate dinner, kebab. My cousins and I played for a longer time and around ten we went to sleep, I was really tired since I had woken up at 5.00 am in the morning. So going to bed early wouldn’t mind at all. Tomorrow we would go to the swimming pool!
