They Call Me Sweden

21 year old Swede living and studying (BA Journalism, Media and Sociology) in Cardiff, UK. Originally from Stockholm. Loves food, to travel and my dear friends.

Back in Stockholm

What the heck was I thinking when I decided to take the late evening flight from London to Stockholm. It arrived at half 12 Swedish time and I had to go up at eight for a job interview… And my trip to Heathrow wasn’t the smoothest either. My bus from Cardiff was supposed to arrive 40 minutes before the bus to the airport would depart. Due to traffic jams going into London I had to take a later bus to Heathrow. This meant I nearly missed my flight! All I was thinking was “I can’t miss it, I got to go home tonight!”

My first day in Stockholm has been quite good. The job interview went alright, then me and my boyfriend borrowed my dad’s car and went for a drive. Feels like it’s much warmer here compared to Cardiff. Then the day ended with dinner at my mum’s place.

    If you’re studying journalism then you might wish to give some attention to the English language.

    The correct way is “my boyfriend and I” not “me and my boyfriend.”

    Please don’t misuse my language.

Blog Update: Brits Mean Business

16 May 08:32

Be British, be sincere and be bold »

"Sweden is a veritable smorgåsbord for UK business. I see our work as a bit like a kind of dragon’s den for both for larger and smaller British companies. It is about matching the UK companies, not with cash, but with Swedish market opportunities." READ »
