shortly before moving to Stockholm

August 10, 2008 by R.P.

Everything looks fine. I do have a room in Stockholm since 3 weeks. I will live in a 4-room apartement with 3 other german exchange-students in Forsta (south of Stockholm).
I talked to my scholarship-coordinator and she told me, that everything will be granted, which means that I will get 350 Euro per month.
Our journey will start at 9.00 on Thursday 14th from Dresden Mainstation and we will go by train to Berlin Schönefeld Airport, where our flight will departure about 14.oo. We will arrive at 16.15 in Stockholm/Arlande Airport.
On Friday we will go to Borlänge, where my girlfriend will be studying. On Saturday we planned to go to Nusnäs, near Mora, where the world-famous Darlahorses are handcrafted. On Sunday I will travel back to Stockholm. My first week is intended to get some useful information and first personal contacts. Therefore I plan to join the master-student-introduction-courses at KTH.
I am really excited about the people at the institute, where I will be working and I am really looking forward to that time!
