Jönköping.... "It is a city in Småland in southern Sweden with 84,423 inhabitants. It is the 9th most populous city of Sweden. Geographically the town is situated by the southern end of Sweden's second largest lake, Vättern. With a sandy beach running through Jönköping is considered a very beautiful city..." ...well, at least according to Wikipedia:)
Einstein used to say that evrything's relative in this world and in this case it's the same. If you judge Jönköping as a 24 year old born in a city with 2 mil people in a country where almost everything's opened 24/7, moving to Jönköping is like changing a skyscraper to a mongolian jurt. However, if you think about it as a proper Swede it has only advantages: calm unstressful life in a countryside city which although has evrything necessary for normal living: shopping malls, bars, restaurant, clubs, museums and a huge beautiful lake.
So at my 1-month-living-in-Jönköping aniversary day I came to the conclusion that Jönköping is a beautiful provincial Swedish town with very nice and friendly inhabitants (unlike in the capital) and very good bus connection to Stockholm:)
Some facts to be proud of my new home:
a safety match - it was invented here and the city has The matchsticks musseum - the only one in the world!
the Cardigans - "love me, love me, say that you love me" - you definitley know them. And yes, they come from Jönköping!!!
Now short facts about my work for those who still doesn't know: since 17th September 2007 I am taking part in Trainee management program in ITAB Shop Concept (one of the European leaders in shoppitting manufacturing). The company's based in Jönköping, Sweden (see above), however it operates around the whole Europe including Russia and Ukraine. The trainee program is 1 year long. During this year we (3 trainees) are going to work on different projects within several corporate areas such as: finance, supply chain, sales, logistics etc.etc. Until Christmas 2007 we are staying in the mother company in Jönköping, and after fabulous New Year holidays (see later) we're going to outside world to travel for 9 months between different dauther companies.
3 trainees are me and 2 Swedes: Catherine and Marcus (who's my flatmate at the same time).
Me&Marcus live in a big 3-bedrooms apartment right in the center of this fabulous town, so as we're just 2, there's one guest room waiting for YOU to visit me here until 21st of December!;)
As for the rest: I live a totally happy lazy life now, coming home after work in the evenings, watching movies and TV series, playing with Magnus (my birthday present) and eating some chocolat. And during the weekends: hello Stockholm!:) However this weekend we are planning a Göteborg trip...
cheers to everybody
I'll try to post here more often than once in 6 months :p
