After 2 weeks of no writing posts and not having Internet here comes the boom as Mr. Mallon likes to say
Combining university life and my new job resulted in 3-4 hours of sleeping per day. In order to shorten this long time I decided to do a short visit to Älmhult. Actually the visit wasn’t so short, since this place is about 500km far from Stockholm. The best solution was to take a X2000, which is kind of Swedish Maglev Train:
The number 2000 is not average speed, it’s in fact the number of seconds after the train broke . This really happed after about 300 km far from Stockholm. Since I was close to miss my interview I asked the train conductor how far was Älmhult. He was so kind and aswered that actually they don’t plan to stop there, because they are not stopping in villages and also the train was already very delayed. Then he remembered that SJ (Swedish railways) is obliged to cover all the expanses for passengers in case of delays. I was really pleasant surprised when he said they will stop in Älmhult only because of me
Älmhult is a small village with about 8,518 people (including me ), which is famous because here for the first time Ingvar Kamprad opened his first IKEA store and since then here it’s located IKEA’a headquarter. I decided to visit Älmhult not only because of my interview with the company mentioned before, but also to see how looks a typical Swedish village.
Another boom was a nice trip to Swedish Faroe Islands. Ratana (Switzerland), Thomas (Germany) and Henneke (Netherlands) decided to celebrate their birthday together somewhere out Stockholm and they made a good decision. We went to a cabin in Saltsjobaden which is property of the Student Association at SSE
