请用英文翻译以下文字用词简单一些： 当我正要出发的时候新冠疫情爆发了。我经过了一系列复杂并严格的visa procedures才终于离开封锁的中国。在我到达瑞典后我拜访了5个工作坊。其中在3个工作坊里我长时间地和瑞典艺术家们一起工作。在我们一起工作的过程中建立了深厚的友谊。我也以此看到不同的国家和文化如何面对疫情这个问题。

When I was about to leave, the COVID-19 epidemic broke out. After going through a series of complex and strict visa procedures, I finally left locked-down China. After arriving in Sweden, I visited five workshops, and worked with Swedish artists for a long time in three of them. During our work together, we built strong friendships. I also saw how different countries and cultures are facing the issue of the epidemic.
