Around Malmö


This is the Malmö City Library. It is made up of a newer looking building (pictured) and an older building to the left.


You can kind of see the older section of the library building to the left of this photo.


Another picture of the library.
You may like to know that the library has a section with English books and a whole section for CD's.




These photos were all taken from my room window at Sommarstaden. This was the morning that it snowed. The snow was gone by the evening unfortunately. It doesn't last long because it doesn't stay cold enough for long!





These next three photos are of the town. To be exact these photos were taken at Gustav Adolf's Torg which is one of the main squares in Malmö and has a lot of good shops!


You can kind of see the lights in the trees. These were Christmas decorations and looked really pretty at night however they have recently been turned off :-(


This is one of the main mall areas with many, many shops. Most of the shops are clothing and shoes. If you are looking for anything else, it can be very hard to find the shop you need!!



Me on the bridge you cross to get to Malmö Högskola (pictured behind me) from Central Station.


If my memory serves me correctly, thess two photos were taken around 4pm when I was leaving university and are the view looking back towards the city from standing at the entrance door to the university.



The university logo at the entrance of the university for the Teacher Education, also known as Orkanen!


Kathi, Anna and Thoms in front of the entrance to Orkanen.


The view from in front of the univeristy looking back out towards the harbour.


These two photos are just of a boat that was parked in the harbour area in front of Orkanen. the building to the far right of the picture is Central Station (aka Centralen).



These next few photos were taken from my window in my room at Sommarstaden. It's a pretty nice view! And I think it was even sunny when I took them - not all that common here in Malmö at this time of year!!





These are just some picture of my room so you can get and idea of what it looks like. Its luxury compared to my rooms at Trinity!! I have my own kitchen and bathroom which is heaven!!












Mackie and Aussie just chilling out on my bed!!

Part 2 - Sweden (Mölndal at Martina's family's house)


The last day in Mölndal it snowed just for me!!!
These photos are of Martina's house!!


What Mölndal looks like when it's frosty!
These pictures are the view from my room and from a walk I took around town!

For those who don't know this is Tasha - Martina's family's dog!

My room at Martina's family's place! Very tidy of course!
