Going up the Country

Mels and the Sargans area is excellent for hiking and biking. I did a bike tour when I just came here and let's just say it was quite tiresome.

But well a the top I was rewarded with a nice little waterfall which made me really happy.

On the way down I had close encounter with local fauna!

All in all it was a great evening. I love being able to go up the mountain whenever the weather is nice.

Life here is good I must say. See you!

Mystery in the Making?

Who is the strange man? What is he looking at? Why is there a name on the house? What is painted on the wall above the entrance? This and much more will follow in a later post.

I had my first day at work today. I must say it's quite interesting to start working on a strategy for supplier selection of very complex machine after having spent about 3 hours on site. :)

For my fellow Industrial Engineers:
Am I working in Powerpoint? Yes! Am I writing action headlines? You betcha! Am I doing nice charts with lots of colours? Not yet, BUT! I have applied the company presentation template.

Damn it feels good to be a PowerPoint Engineer!

Short Intermission (mellanspel)

Hej och hallå!

I'm doing well and Switzerland has been good to me so far. I will tell you more about all this but until then I would like to tell you that the Milka cow is actually Austrian and nothing else.

Thomas, my house mate, pointed out this.

I'm going to show you some films from time to time about my life here. It's quicker and more fun than writing I figured. Here's one from the first day.

During the last days we've been preparing the house. We've bought tonnes and tonnes of stuff and now I'm sitting in the sofa looking out the window up on the mountains. Tomorrow is the first work day!

See you soon!

Land of Mountain Cows, Chocolate and Cows Made of Chocolate

Hello everyone.

This is going to be a quite short post. I'm thinking that if I don't write super long messages I might actually be able to update this blog more frequently.

Sooooooooo...

I'm going to Switzerland to do an internship (praktik) at a company called Oerlikon Solar. This might not be news to some people who follow me on facebook or twitter but it might be news that I during 3 weeks weren't sure if I would finally be able to do the internship since the original project I was supposed to do seemed to be cancelled for a while. It's back on track anyway and I leave from Bonn with the train on Wednesday. There's actually a direct train going all the way to Sargans where I'll live.

Sargan's situated in the Rhein valley and is very close to Liechtenstein. I'll live in a house with some other people but I'll get back to you on that.

All in all I'm super excited about this internship that's gonna last for about 4 months.

More details to come. Write me a line now why don't you?

Take care!

Cool bike.

I think I need to get one of these...

Studentlivet är hårt...

Den här är utsikten från mitt fönster just nu... Synd att jag inte fick sen den brinna. Det var nog stämningsfullt.

Twitter is retarded

Heres the proof:
