First Day in Gothenburg

It has now been exactly 24 hours since we took off from Greensboro for Gothenburg.

Chad and I both are very tired, and I think we will end our day soon since we have only had about 2-3 hours of sleep, but I wanted to post a short description of how our day went.

When we arrived in Gothenburg, Magnus (my team leader) picked us up at the airport. He cracked jokes about how much luggage we had…he said we could easily stay a full year with the amount of luggage we had.  We are located on the 3rd floor of an older apartment building. We piled up all of our luggage on top of each other in the tiniest elevator you have ever seen. The elevator was about 3 feet by 3 feet square.

After saying goodbye to Magnus, we headed off to the grocery store to stock up on some food. We spent about 2 hours shopping because we couldn’t find simple things like salt and cinnamon.

Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, that we are driving a Volvo C30. It is brand spanken new. I love it. We will have to take a picture soon so you can check it out.

After we returned from the stressing trip from the grocery store, we tried to find a parking space for the car.  Let me tell you, it’s like living in NYC, there are no parking spaces available. I had to call my team lead again (Magnus) and ask for help. He told me to try an underground parking lot not too far away. Anyway, that worked out great after asking for some help from a pedestrian to help us understand how to read and work the parking fee machine.

Once back at home, we got everything unpacked, which took about 2 hours as well. The apartment is going to be very nice. It’s a big one bedroom and it even has a dish washer in the kitchen!

That’s it for tonight; we are going to now get some rest!
