Malmö, Skåne

I am currently on my first business trip in my life! Yesterday I and my boss travelled 600 km by car to the southmost large city of Sweden, Malmö, located in the province of Skåne. We are visiting the Malmö ABB office and I am discussing projects with them.

Malmö is nice, the architecture is different from the rest of Sweden because of the Danish ancestery, and we live a few minutes walk from the sea. Turning Torso, the tallest building in Sweden and build like a giant corkscrew into the sky, is the coolest building and definately seeworthy.

The hotel is nice, we sleep at Scandic, and I have had a most pleasant night and woke up to find that the breakfeast was excellent. I am a breakfeast-person, and I need a good meal before I can do anything else.

People from the Skåne province speak a very interesting dialect of Swedish, called Skånska. They have a different sound on the vowels, and their R:s are pronounced far back in the mouth, which means that it sounds like gurgeling. Anyway, the weather is perfect, and I and my boss and one of our colleagues at the Malmö office will play golf this afternoon and evening. I am no golf player, so I’ll probably most be their caddie ;)
