I homestayed for about three days in Falun and I just think it’s amazingly pretty. We went out canoeing on a lake, got onto a little island in the middle of it with lots of wild raspberries and an abandoned house… I was about 16 at the time, lived in Hong Kong (city) all my life and it was just the greatest adventure ever for me. The people I stayed with are really lovely and they arranged so many things to do and places to see. There’s other things that I remember, like visiting hte copper mine, visiting a place where they make those Swedish wooden horses, a nature park and such.. but I really did love that lake. I definitely want to go back!

Oh and those photos of red houses are the “real” photos of Falun, Sweden! Not the Falun Gong ones…!!!
