Safe and clean and green and modern..
Friday, September 5th, 2008Just got back from Sweden - my third visit in the past month. Was there for 4 days this time. Bloody knackered now.
Working for a customer in Malmø, which is a wee town in the south, just over the water from Copenhagen. Its a strange town - the center is quite nice, with an interesting mix of architecture and lots of decent pubs and restaurants.
You dont have to go far from the center though to find yourself in the middle of 60s apartment block hell, and unfortunately it is here where our customers offices are situated. It is perhaps one of the most depressing places I’ve been (and this coming from someone who was brought up in Newport, South Wales).
Lunch at the cafe opposite the offices is also one of the worst places I’ve ever eaten at. It takes a special skill to make food taste that bad, although I suppose it does fit in with its surroundings. And this is in contrast to the bloody lovely food we’ve been eating in the town center in the evenings.
Am back in Oslo now, which means that lunch times have improved drastically and the evenings have gone downhill slightly.
Still got tons of work to do. Been getting a bit stressed with (and tired of) work recently. Need some time off probably. Six months in South East Asia should do the trick. A hammock, a beach and a load of good books. Not too much to ask for, is it?
Hope all is well with you down…
