First Week in Stockholm

So... The first week in Stockholm has just passed, and till now, everything has been great.. I have stayed in Lappis for the first week, on Friday night I went partying here.. the usual great party.. I don't like partying if I don't know anyone...
My job looks nice, I still haven't understood anything about it, but I like the environment, I like my boss (he prolly likes me too) and there a couple of hot coworkers, and, of course, the girl that interviewed me to get the job is beautiful too... The job doesn't look that interesting, but I already know that.. anyways I've got so many things to do right now, that that is the last of my problems.. I started writing my short thesis too, I hope I can make it in this month; then I have to study for these three exams, and I should graduate in June, at least that's what they want in RSM..
Sweden is a great country, they don't work that much, I have to work about eight hours, not more, and tomorrow my boss gave me a day off, since it should be half day only anyways... He said I should work on my thesis, I'll try to find a library and to find some books I need, and then I'll also have to move to my new house, which is luckily way closer to the place where I live. From next month on, when my bus cards end, I'll try to buy a bicycle, it's way cheaper and prolly faster too; then the weather is getting really good, so it should be great. As my boss told me "you've got here in the best time of the year, when it's warm, and the girls start wearing skirts and little shirts".. totally agree.
I'm loving Häagen-Dazs, I've eaten two of those big ice creams cups in the last week...
Now I'm going to an Ethiopian restaurant with some friends..

A good start...

Stockholm I'm coming, or at least, that's what I tried to do.. As with Brazil the start wasn't that great; again at MXP... I didn't set my alarm clock, so I woke up at 8,30, with my plane at 9,50.. I closed my suitcase, called a taxi and rushed out of the door. I got at Malpensa at 9,30 but they told me it was too late for the check in, so I asked if I could get on the next Alitalia plain, the day after. Alitalia told me that they had all booked up 'till Tuesday, and I should start working on Monday, plus I have to find somewhere to live. I asked Lufthansa, they too were all booked up, and so was SAS.. Damn this Italian holidays... Luckily Swiss had a place, I bought the ticket (also to come back in September, 315€) and now I'm in Zürich. I also had to pay a fine because I had 37kg of luggage, and my limit was 20... I should have paid something like 200€, after some bargaining I spent 70something... Anyways, I should get to Stockholm at 7, I told the guys I should have seen the house from that I won't be there today..
At the end it went better than it looked like in the beginning, and I discovered the Zürich Airport, it has definitely the most luxurious shops I have ever seen in an airport: it has like 10 watch shops, and lots of chocolate... The bookshop sucks, it doesn't even have the Stockholm Lonely Planet..
Stockholm, I'm coming.. I heard you're beautiful
