Two more photographs (1, 2) of the Swedish countryside. This time, they’re more representative than the one in the first Sweden post. They were taken right next to a highway between Falköping and Göteborg. The latter is quite a nice place. While Stockholm is the total history overload and makes me feel completely meaningless, Göteborg is more a common European city. They do have a good amount of old architecture (unlike many German cities in which the entire center has been bombed to kingdom come in World War II) but also many fifties and sixties style buildings. The population is pretty mixed, I noticed a lot of people with arabic or black complexion. Bad luck for my readers, I forgot my camera when I went out. Sorry, no pretty pictures of the second biggest city in Sweden.

Falköping rocks
Posted in Falköping, Sweden on September 10, 2008 by JanMy first business trip. For a job I haven’t even started. Nice. The only problem is that I have to pay everything in advance and then have to ask my employer to pay it to me (which takes months). Anyway, should you happen to spend a night in Falköping, Sweden, ask me for a hotel recommendation. In the one I’m currently sitting in, they offer free dinner and free WLAN access, which is not standard in Swedish hotels, as I can tell by now*.
By the way, the blog title changed again. I’m now conquering the EU from within. Well, this month. Next month it’s the US again. This world domination business is getting really stressful.
*) It seems to be in Göteborg though.
