something-to-remember: See, after two months it was time to write you again... :-)

where the not so rich people liv

on my way when I work for people who are living home and need a nurse

yes, it is a church...

Now you're following my blog you know for sure I am now working in Sweden. Actually in Gothenburg.
Well let's travel in time, as it was my luck I have the Tardis with me and we have to flee from the monsters anyway.

So follow me on my journey.
Now two months have gone and we are back to the beginning of the summer. As I am a lucky guy I have friends who waited to catch me up from the airplane and I have two big baggages with me and two little. Can't have enoughbut to be true, we don't need much in the beginning as starting to work in Sweden means you move on strange and foreign places. Make sure you can catch a placce before you come, because most time you won't be lucky to get a flat from your boss.
As I was already here for interview I also did went to the skatteverket which is importand because you need to get your personal number. So now being back I have a personal number but am not to find in the book of folk. Which is a problem more or lesson in Sweden as it is the door to actually everything here. So writing a letter and saying that I will not exapt this was one of the first things I had to do.
After that it was just to move in in the guest room of a freind of a friend, who luckely lived near my working place. So summer mornings started with a walk to work. Nice.
Well let's go on... eating the swedish food is something I really like but after a while it became bit to much as it is much salted and much sweet. So starting to get a belly was not planed and I changed back to the way I did eat back home. And of course going on with a little sport.
That helped. But I was waiting for the answere from the skatteverket to be part of the folk. No answere came and so I have to always please my working partners to do part of the job for me, because I don't have the elektiric sertification. Which is needed for computer and doors. Yes doors to medicine and struff only a few people are able to reach. Trying to take my passport is not helping, even with the swedish bank I have to discuss to sent in my check from work and get the next wage direct to my bank. Well without a swedish pass there is next to nothing possible here. It's the only thing mostly which tells officially that you are you and are in existence. No matter how good your english, german or how new your frensh pass is- there like nothing worth here.
So waiting, waiting and waiting... I now know I will wait much longer as this is bureaucracy.
That can take a long time here, although the law is clear for those who are living in EU, you just need a job or to study in Sweden so you must be part of the folkbook. But as it is everywhere, people are doing the job and so you can have luck or less of it.
But back to nice things... being in the amusement park in Gothenburg is fun and as it is summer every monday people will gather around there and sing along songs and stars witll sing with them. All kind of songs. All kind of peopel are included. That is very amusing. Also summer in Sweden can be warm and very nice as even the biggest towns here have a lot of nature inside. So sitting in a coffe and eating cake is in no way hard to do. And as I meantion I have friends here I visit them on there island, being in there garden and trevel to the beach.
Having fun at work after my last job in Berlin is an pleasant experience thought I work on two places- a nursing home and in the district I work for which means I drive a care and of course drove two or three times wrong. Discovering the town that way gives me such a new sight, that it is very interessting but stressing time too as I also have to phone all the time which is in a foreign language hard to learn. So after the first two weeks I was feeling that my ears went hot and I need to cool them down and took an extra sleep to rest my mind and body.
Of course after two months it has become much better with the language, although such things takes time. Another thing which takes time is to get a flat. To rent a room. Well guys, this is time consuming and less lucky. Nowadays many many people are moving for several reason to Gothenburg and there are far to less flats and rooms. Which means it takes a long long time to rent somewhere. And it is not cheap. 4000 Kronen for 10-15 m2 is minimum. Mostly it goes up to 7000 till 8000 Kronen. Living in the centre is so clear more expencive and can go up to 15000 Kr. ....
So moving from one place to another is very common and after two months I moved the first time.
Not sure how long I stay at my actual place and as it is not even sure how my working live will go on next year, I have to be prepared for everything. See, what I was promised did came out a bit different so, I have to see how the future will look they can give me when we talk next month. As I am not the youngest I feel that I am not willing to take what ever else may be. Some things will never be a question again to do. I am sure some of you know very well what I mean as it is sometimes we learn what things are good for us and what we are good for. To compromise is sometimes of course necessary but not always the best and sometimes I take the consequenses more likely then to compromise, for I know what I can bear or should I say willing to do, to take.
But as we travel in time the time machine refused to travel into the future. How unlikely!
What more to see then? The houses here are very nice but don't judge a book by it's cover!
Even in the areas where mostly poor people liv, it looks from the outside nice but inside it can be totally different. That is maybe another discovering. In Berlin it is the same but mostly it used to be better inside then outside for the common people.
But after all, it is easier to get a flat of your own no matter if it's rent or bought then here in Gothenburg. The waiting time is around 3 years here untill your can call a place your own. In Stockholm it is even longer and said to be 7 years. No wonder that the prices are high and people are moving that much but be sure, best way is to have less baggage.
That's why I have my things back in Berlin and just now those little things home there are going to be left in an container for the next month. They will be in a Box and hopefully not for too long, as it is known that most people never come back and take them out of the box and into a new home. But this is just what people say.
And as words go by so quickly we are back in the now time, with the rain in Gothenburg and the autum/ fall coming. The leavs are getting new colours and the wind gives you a blow to remind you that it is time to take the bigger clothes.
Enjoy the pics down and get a warm feeling with them.
