Sverige



I have been in very cold, dark, snowy Sweden and Denmark, for the last week.  Actually, the weather made it very pretty outside (only when you could see things between 10am and 4pm).  Most of the week I have been in the small town of Älmhult (photo is from the train station).  My Swedish speaking is not much better than it was before this week (non-existent), but I'm getting better understanding written words.  The fun part of this work trip was that there were colleauges from over 40 countries represented in my meetings.  So, I met a lot of different people - with surprisingly, a lot of similarities.

This is what it looked like every morning when walking to meetings at 8am.

Here is IoS.  A Modest little building, considering the billions and billions of dollars it generates (through the stores) all over the world.  Everything starts here.

This is the huge store in Malmö (one of the bigger cities in Sweden).  It might not look any different to you, because it is another blue and yellow box like all the rest - but to me there were a lot of things to see and learn at this store.  Blah...blah...am I boring you yet?  Maybe I'll take some pictures of Copenhagen when I get there.  Those will be more exciting to post.
