Yesterday we went to the University of Gothenburg for the business class's masters in marketing presentation to the faculty of the business department. Since the topic was an analysis of Volvo car's move to Asia, the vice chairman of Volvo worldwide was invited to hear their ideas. Mr. Hans Olav Olsson serves as the vice chairman of Volvo and was a former CEO of the entire company. When you are in a room with a man that successful, it is almost as if it is contagious and you can feel the presence.
After the presentations, we met with the international club and two girls from Sweden took us out to a very nice cafe and bought everyone a Semla. They are very similar to cream puffs but with a Swedish twist and some almond paste in the middle. They were very good.
With the rest of the day, the girls from the international club showed us around the trendy designer stores in Sweden and we went out for some exploring on the night as well.
With all this said, there are some things about Sweden that just need to change.
1. Outlets, please conform to the US voltage. These adapters are ridiculous
2. Paying to go to the restroom.
3. Having to put your room card in the switch to turn on the lights.
There are some more that I can't think of right now, but those things are where Sweden lacks in culture.
That's all for now, going back to bed to get another hour so I can be rested for today's adventure.
