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?

As promised, here’s the story about cleaning my room.

I first saw my room on Friday, and it didn’t look clean, although it didn’t look like there’s too much work to do either. Just lots of hair on the floor, some stains on the cabinets, and a bathroom to clean. Coming from a country like Romania, you say “Oh well, I was going to clean the place anyway, even if it seemed squeaky clean¹..”

Came back on Saturday noon with Trevor, and with two bags of chemicals and scrubs, for a job that seemed like a 4-5 hours work. We’ll do it in no time!

The hell we would!

We started with the kitchen cabinets and stove - we sprayed the surface, brushed it, then tried to clean it. Bum! The grease/dirt/filth/whatever.. was still there! Try again.. and again.. and again.. and again.. and again! Of course, Trevor stoped after getting off two layers, but since I had to live there sometime.. I did it 3, 4, 5, 6, .. or try 10 times!

After 4 hours - Trevor and I managed to sweep half of the floor, clean the kitchen and some drawers in a noticeable, yet not very clean way, and only 2 kitchen cabinets that were really clean!

Sunday morning I went there from 12 to 10pm. By myself, with only one hour of break to eat something at Kista Galleria. When I ended there, only one question was on my mind “What the fuck to start with?” To say the truth, I cannot even remember what exactly I did on that day. I managed to sweep the floor to a “it’s clean enough” level, clean the blinds, the windows and to repair all the lights.

1. expression of the week [↩]

That’s my room number - Ärvingevägen 14, 7061 - that’s the room that was so filthy that I cleaned it for 3 days, and still need to clean half of the fridge, the drawers and half of the kitchen cabinets (cleaning details to come).

A quarter of "my room's hair"

In short: thank you K Gubinasi for leaving the room full of your long badly-treated hair, the shower floor full with dirt and almost-impossible-to-clean “stuff”, and kitchen cabinets filled with grease spots (in layers, as Trevor said), and leaving candle wax on lots of places, and… and…

Why would you want to come to a clean country just to survive here? Certainly this person wasn’t living there, but only surviving. At the most, the “one” was living in their ignorance.

Ignorance is bliss..

I arrived yesterday in Sweden (August 14th), and I stayed with a friend in just outside Uppsala for the first night. 800 SEK for the cab fare all the way from Arlanda. It’s a huge price, but I’ve never taken a cab before. And this time, with 43 kg following me, I think it was needed.

Got up and took the train to Stockholm. Left my two suitcases in the lockers there: 50 SEK for the big one, 40 SEK for the small one. I think this is the fee for 24 hours “hosting”. You need coins - so if you don’t have, you could use a machine that exchanges notes into coins, or just to Forex to exchange some money and kindly ask the personell to give you 100 SEK in coins for the lockers That did the trick!
