Lund it is!

Contracty bits are done, and I have a place to move to in Sweden! I'm going to be not all that far to the railway station (much closer than my place in Bratislava is), and thus near to the center. Oh, and the systembolaget (the place where beer is available - a curious quirk of Sweden is that the state has a monopoly on alcohol sales). Seems there's a couple of pubs where I'll be able to obtain ale too, which will in a way kinda make up for the Czech and Slovak beer I'll be missing here. Of course, what I'd pay to buy plenty of beer for an evening out here will buy me just one or maybe two in a bar in Sweden! In fact, things generally will be pricier - though I gather the quality is also generally good.

It also seems there's some good walking to be had in the area, and it's not that far to get out of the city and be in the countryside. So hopefully there'll be some nice opportunities, as the weather gets warmer, to get out and enjoy the natural surroundings. Of course, while living in Sweden, I must pay another visit to the Abisko National Park too. :-)

Anyway, I'm sure I'll be blogging plenty about how Sweden is as a place to be living once I get there, in under a month's time!
