Well, here we are, over 1 week into our stint here at Sweden and it has been really fun! Been getting more and more busy these days which explains the lapses in BLOG entries. Yesterday, we went to Malmo, the 3rd largest city in Sweden (Sweden only has 3 by the way, so its the smallest actually...)
Malmo is somewhat different from Lund, being a city and all. Much more industrial buildings and constructions going on, more shops and people too! However, it does offer up some spectacular sights that you just can't see in Lund. For one, in Malmo is the Turning Torso, a 190metre building with a really unique design. It has 54 stories and a 90 degree twist from top to bottom. Also, in Malmo there are quite a number of public parks which look spectacular and wildlife like ducks and swans roaming freely. It really is a far cry from those back home.
We rounded off our trip of Malmo with a trip down to IKEA where we had our dinner. It was largely similar to the one back in Singapore but this IKEA was way bigger.... We ordered the famous IKEA meatballs to share thinking it would be expensive but guess what, 10 meatballs cost us only 16 SEK = about 4 SGD!!! Apparently they were having some promotion at that time, can you believe our luck??
Goon in Malmo!
The Turning Torso, don't worry, it's won't fall!

Clear green fields, too bad this is a park for dogs.
Goon, dwarfed by the tree.

Malmo city square, and yes, it's an outdoor ice skating rink!
