Funniest day ever!!


I am in a city called Linkoping, pronounced Linshipping!!
I was told the bus will take me from downtown to where I want to go and it is the last stop any way, so I didn't have to bother to where is my stop.
The bus kept on dropping people off at different stops, until I saw the company I am visitng, however, it is a huge company, so I didn't know which stop it is and it is the last one anyway so the bus should stop.
To my surprise, the bus here doesn't stop at the last stop and wait, just kept on going!!! I thought if there a single passenger there that means he has to stop!!! No, it doesn't work that way here (at least that was my experience).
So, the bus kept on driving without stopping to downtown again, so I paid 20kr for a ride around town!! interesting.

Then, I arrived to the company and ask for the person I am supposed to meet up with which I met the day before. The front desk lady called some one else with the same name and he came to pick me up, I thought the person I am suppose to meet up send him to pick me up. However, that guy came and told me, we do have a lot of visitors everyday but I am not expecting you, what do you want to do!!!!

Again, I managed to meet up with the person I am suppose to meet.

On my way back to the hotel, the front desk asked the taxi to drive to my hotel, 20mins later, I am at a different hotel, it turned out that there are two hotels with same name very close to the train station!!!

I am still doing okay, and alive, the temp was with wind chill around -20c.
I am having a blast!!!!!

I am in Linkoping

I know, I travel a lot in my job, but this is the first time I am in a new city "Linkoping" that I haven't been before in the last 6 months!!! I guess this is a record!!
It is couple of hours away south of Stockholm.
I took the train, it was like wonderland, everywhere is white, just vast land covered with snow.
I saw a city called Katrinholm, so, I guess holm means something, but I didn't get a clear answer when I asked.
I arrived at night, so all I saw so far, train station and the hotel, keep you posted tomorrow.

This is my next car

Finally, the German released photos of the new C-Class.
check it out here C-Class

, however, I don't really like new iconic cars from the first look, it takes me some time.
However, i am sure it is going to be a big hit.
