Would you be surprised or not if you saw somebody like this as your underground train driver?

* it happens in Stockholm

Enough with positive thoughts Check out how my morning looked like.

1. 7:30 alarm
2. Breakfast
3. 8:20 out the door
4. 8:34 subway on time in Kista, in order to arrive at 8:51 at T-Centralen
5. 9:00 arrived at T-Centralen (after SL decided to have the train wait in stations)
6. 9:11 saw the Stockholm-Uppsala train leave right in before my eyes, after not finding the right exit to the surface

Motto: It can only get better !

I got some hard reviews that the blog is sado-masoquist or crazily depressive, and I promised to changed that. At least in one of the entries.

Maybe I should have used another motto, by paraphrasing Rux - Writing shitty posts only when I can’t have a “beer” with my friends Though funny, it’s quite true. Some posts I consider very very useful and I try to have the constructive criticism included as well, but some (most?!) are just about criticism and astonishment.

For years, I’ve been in Uppsala, a week then, a week now.. It all looked nice and felt good.

Now, I’m a Stockholm resident, and you’ve seen what this place was like for the very first two weeks. It’s almost the same amount of Romanian shit, but in a different shape.

But on Wednesday I was back in Uppsala… oh boy! When you have nothing to compare with, you just tell yourself “This is it! It’s not like there’s something better..” and you just take it as it is. And it was almost like that until Wednesday. Let me phrase all this so that everyone understands.

I want to have a fresh start here - at EMIS, at KTH, in Kista, in Stockholm, in Sweden. Therefore I need to get it all out, and then continue with much more pleasant things and ignore the shitty ones.

It might seem “funny”, but I’m complaining about KTH after just 2 weeks.. That’s says a lot about their induction.

Some days ago, when I bought the TV tuner, the girl at Kista Galleria’s ONOFF store started speaking in Romanian (she’s not Romanian, or at least doesn’t seem to).

For a second there, after a week of mostly down-with-spirits mood, it almost felt good.

Now, for years, I have been critical in what Romania is concerned, only to come to Sweden for a full week of really living here, and not just act like a visitor/guest, and question myself “What the hell am I doing here?”

Now what the hell is that?

Well, nothing other than the garbage dump - the Swedish version.

In plain translation, miljöstation = environment station.

You need to separate your garbage before into metal, plastic, glass, (here comes the best part) newspapers/books/documents, packs/boxes, and miscellaneous. There are some outer dumps (wide pipe-like) but I have no idea what that is.

or Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial.

Since a few years now, most of the TV broadcast is done digitally in Sweden.

So if you plan to get some Swedish channels into your life.. Go on with buying a TV tuner and an indoor antenna. You may be fine without the antenna, if you live in an area that is in an open field and close to the city.

After fiddling so much with the TV tuner’s antenna, I had to buy the indoor antenna. I already looked enough as a fool doing some sort of pantomime on the window ,)

You should be able to get SVT1, SVT2, SVT24, Barn/Kunskapsk., TV6, TV7, TV Finland, The Voice (music), Axess (classic music, documentaries, and good movies), some local ones (in Stockholm: TV4 Stockholm and Lokal Kanal) and others.

If you live in a private house, then you probably should go for Bredbands Bolaget.

And if you live in SSSB dorms, you don’t need to choose, since you most probably have Tele2 as your ISP by default. But in SB dorms, you can choose.

But how do you choose?
