Hej Pia!
Nice to read you! Ohh, let to the non-Swedish people to try to answer. After 3 days, feel free to share you native knowledge.

How is your theis?

Ok. I'll let somebody else get the honour.

Well.. It's my second week working on the thesis, and I'm still in the warm-up phase. Relaxed, I know the stress will come soon anyway.

I'm not in Luleå anymore. (Perfect to leave after one great "fake Erasmus year"!). Now I live in Gothenburg where I do my thesis at Volvo Cars. My task is to look at the interface of cruise control and trip computer switches and buttons. Interesting! (I think :)).
Carlos Tejo ha dicho que…
Oh, now everybody knows it! What about the new Erasmus???

Take it easy with your Thesis. How is Gothenburg compared to Luleå? Thanks for your blog ;-)

2 days to the answer...
Anónimo ha dicho que…
Well... Gothenburg is bigger and at the moment darker than Luleå ;).

I felt ready with Luleå, and so far I don't have any complaints about Gothenburg! I see Gothenburg as full of opportunities. But who knows where I'll be next year..?

What about you? I see you're in the Baltic States, but for how long?

Hello Pia,
as you said, who will knows? Is your 1st experience in Goteborg??

Maybe I should write about that. Finally, I will be here until last days of September. 10 months far from home is enough.

Please, could somedoby answer the riddle??

Ok. Since nobody else wants... I'll do it!

Explanation to the last pic.:

"För din säkerhet" = For your safety.
These stickers can be found next to doors, e.g. in banks and supermarkets. When entering, the sticker can be used to check how safe the premises are for you. If your head doesn't pass the green area, you can feel safe. If the top of your head is somewhere on the yellow area you might hit your head in lamps or signs hanging low, for example. If you reach to the red area, you should watch out! There is a big risk you'll hurt yourself. In some places you might be taller than the room is high.

I have another version. One day, I asked a security man (not Casimiro) about that. He said me:"If somebody makes a crime inside the shop and he runs outside, we can check who is that person. How? This sticker measures the height when somebody can inside. So you can know who is the person who runs if you compare the image recorded with previous images.

One more theory ....
Anónimo ha dicho que…
So you knew the correct answer!
-I was just checking-

The sticker is there to make it easier to estimate how tall a possible thief is.
Carlos Tejo ha dicho que…
Hej Pia, where did you check it? share with us the link!

In a few, I will upload the Latvian symbols and riddles!
