Eskilstuna

From Eskilstuna

Yesterday we were at a little of a loose end post-lecture, and as such decided to take a trip to Västerås' sister city, Eskilstuna. This is where the other campus of my current university lies, and as such it's free for us to travel on the train there. To be honest, there's not much there, and is in fact smaller than Västerås, but I was pleasantly surprised by how...pleasant the place was. Spent a couple of hours there, took advantage of Netto (there isn't actually one in Västerås!) then bobbed home. A rather nice little excursion. One thing Eskilstuna does have to offer, though, is a Zoo. Didn't have the money or the time to visit it on this trip, but once we've found out a bit more about it a few of us are planning to go down there.

In other news, we're getting the late straggles of summer here, so we went down to the beach again today.

In other other news, I'm now making desperate attempts to communicate with as many Germans as possible, as my increased exposure to Swedish has accidentally addled my brain, and I no longer speak German. Not even bad German. Well, maybe that's an exaggeration, but still. luckily there are plenty German and Austrian types here for me to practice with, if i can persuade them to stop speaking English. This is my next mission.
