I'm going to Sweden! (on a business trip)

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

My first business trip, yay! :):swirly:

I'm having an introduction meeting for new co-workers, in Helsingborg, the south of Sweden.

Never been to Sweden before, so I'm very excited! Probably cold and snowy there.

Anyone living close to Helsingborg and fancy dinner or drinks next Tuesday evening?

I live like an hour and a half away from Helsingborg (cant meet up though :( ).

At the moment there's a big ******* snow storm in South Sweden.
I think it'll be over before tuesday.

Sweden isnt as cold as people seem to think though. During the summer it gets really really hot here :)

And Helsingborg is a really nice city. I've been there many times.

I hope you'll like it here :)

If you get the opportunity: Visit Denmark. It's even greater than Sweden.

A crappy map... but I live in Malmö. :)
Helsingborg is on the west coast - as well as Malmö.

Okay, I probably have to work anyway. It should have been on a Monday, then I could have had a nice weekend in Sweden.

I'll try to enjoy the little time that I have! :) And check out the handsome Swedish men ;)

I thought it would be cold any snowy because it's cold any snowy over here. But I know the weather can be much alike ours. Except that we have more rain. :(

And I can get better drugs here, if I wanted.

Uhm, the reason I mentioned Denmark is because the atmosphere there is alot different from the swedish atmosphere.
Everything is more relaxed and soft (at least in Copenhagen).
I dont know where Predabots hatred for Denmark comes from, but its a great place.

Do you want me to keep you updated on the weather front, Eline? ;)

No thanks, I'm only carrying handluggage. Faster and easier.

And bought a flashy new bag for my weekend in Paris, so I definitely must bring that one. :):)

Don't worry. If I have the time, I will get you some Swedish stuff. A Volvo won't fit though. :(

But what is Dalahäst? And what a good Swedish goodies? :)

Heh. You've got that right. :) The Netherlands is like the capitol of the world for various..substances. I believe that you even got a pot-festival. Ah, the wonders that Pulp Fiction can learn you, and spark an interest to learn more of.
