Hej! I am originally Swedish and have spent ten years living in Dubin. There i met my "Sambo" Phil and we moved back to Gothenburg where I got a
position as a phd student (doktorand) at the Univesity. My research involves measuring air quality and its likely health effects in Gothenburg and suggesting how it can be improved. I support the dubs and like dance music. Btw doing a phd in Sweden is fabelous. It is well paid and lasts for five years so one has plenty of time to do reseach properly and get papers published. There is usually a chance to do teaching as well. Get on to me if you want to know more. My slogan is, Heja Irland :)

Allright there a chairde, I am from Dublin town and moved over here with my sambo Hanna and our daughter last year. Just like Andy the facilities for childcare were the main factor. We found it hard to find somewhere to live in Gothenburg so we ended up moving to a town outside of the city called Alingsås. It is quiet but the nature is amazing and there is easy access to everything. A safe place to bring up kids to be sure. I am a book binder by trade and I got a start at a big printing works here a few months ago. The language is coming along nicely, its not really that different from english. In my spare time I play GAA and have gone from playing Dublin senior club A1 divsion with Parnells to European shield with Gothenburg. Sthill its good craic to meet the lads once a week. Give me a shout if you want to hear more. My slogan is, up the Dubs :)

Andy Hardiman Profile
Andy Hardiman I came here in 2001 as a love refugee. That means I am
part of the 99%. 99% of Irish people end up in Sweden as they meet their
partners in Ireland or in Australia or the like. So that happened to me
in my native city of Galway, and then because of the fantastic natal
and childcare facilities in Sweden there really wasn't any choice about
where to move. Now Isabella and Seamus are aged 13 and 9 and we live a
nice "Svensson" life in a wooden house in Lindome. I work as a tree
surgeon and set up my own business soon after coming here and work
within a 50KM radius of Gothenburg. It is a bit seasonal but well
sometimes
it is hard when one comes here not knowing the language to find something.
Now I know the language so well I guess things have worked out. My slogan
is, Up Galway City

Howayis, I'm Maria's sambo and I landed in this city two years ago without a word of Swedish. I got work as a cook in a thai restaurant. So if there are any new arrivals in the city looking to get into the catering trade over here i may be able to give some pointers...The social relations here are different to home so that takes some getting used to. The infrastructure is fantastic though so I guess you can't have it all. In my spare time I am a techno dj and was resident in Switch in Dublin for a number of years. My slogan is, YNWA :) mail: talktophilwong @ hotmail.com

Carpool Gbg-Rygge-Gbg Christmas 2013
Hi all,
We have been talking about some of fixing a carpool upp and back from Rygge for Christmas this year. Various plans have been discussed, including renting a minibus if any one particular day is popular.
But of course, we have to know when people are travelling and if they already arranged transport.
Please fill in the following Doodles if you are travelling to Ireland and want to join:
Gothenburg -> Rygge between dec 18th and dec 24th http://doodle.com/
Rygge-> Gothenburg between dec 27th and jan 5th: http://doodle.com/
I'm traveling on the 27th and back on the 31st, if enough people are travelling those days I am definitely thinking about renting a minibus.
//P.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK,
Final list for the bus to Rygge is
Am I missing anyone?
As we didn't fill the bus, it will 300 kr per person. There are two places remaining if anyone else needs to get to Rygge.
We will meet at the back door of Centralstation/ Nils Ericsson bus terminal at 6 am sharp.

An Irishmans account of life in Sweden...
written, wait for it... 51 years ago!
It's astounding but a good fun read... He does not like what he sees...
http://archive.spectator.co.uk
You have to use the zoom panel and "zoom" around the page to read it...
One of the claims made is that the welfare state is funded a lot by revenues from the state off licences and bars. Now theres is a model for
Ireland. Why didn't anyone there think of that before ;-)
Here is a letter in responce wanting to hear more about Des' experiences with promoscuity:
