A city in southern Sweden, this is the 9th most populous city of Sweden. Every new semester, the city sees many new exchange students due to the presence of the Jonkoping University.
At Raslatt, the largest student housing complex in Jonkoping
I stayed in one of these blocks of flats for 4 months. Autumn here was extremely pretty due to the different shades of colours the leaves turned into. Oh yes, I'm was and still am utterly fascinated with the season of autumn. I grew up hating autumn, thinking that all it provided was a dreary atmosphere filled with BROWN leaves. I come from Singapore, a country that experiences summer all year round. So my background knowledge of autumn came from the books I read. I dont know why but the stories I read always associated autumn with brown leaves. Hence, I was so shocked when I actually saw with my own eyes how the leaves could turn out pink, purple, yellow or red etc.

Every year, students would dare each other to jump into the icy cold waters.
