Adjusting to Life in Sweden

Things are going really well here in Nassjo.  I could not have asked for a better city and teammates to come to.  Practice has been pretty tough with a lot of running but I know I need it.  We have a scrimmage tomorrow. It will be nice to play some new people. I am really looking forward to it.

A couple days ago I went to my first Bandy game.  I would describe it as a mix between hockey, field hockey, and soccer.  It is 11 guys per team on ice using a plastic ball. It was very exciting.

I would say that my transition here has gone as well as I could have possibly hoped for.  It is obviously very tough being away from Becca and my friends and family.  My first week has gone well. I have not been able to get my XBox running yet so hopefully at some point I can.  If anyone has any questions about the basketball or Sweden or anything else, just comment on the blog and I will answer it as soon as I can.

Thanks for all the love and support!

    Rob,

    I like the green uni's better than the blue one from a few days ago. Did you pick number 14 or did they give it to you? Are those advertisements on the uniform? What shoes do you wear (Matt will want to Know). Looking forward to some game reports soon. Take Care,

    I am actually number 15. The jersey in the picture was just one I wore for a quick picture for the team website. All the writing you see on the uniforms is all advertising. That is how they do it over here. Businesses give money to our team and get advertising in the gym, programs and the moving billboards "us". I like it though. Right now I am just wearing my hyperizes from college.
