I can't remember the exact names but the "after work" on Friday's night were very pleasant. A good cafe was close to the University, in the old town, offering delicious crumble pies.

I did not learn the Swedish, because all the natives were speaking English, and the lectures were given in English as well. As a consequence, I improve my English skills quite well...

Personal comments

It has been a great and rewarding experience, Though the language of instruction of my Bsc Degree was English, I still have made a lot of progress. Especially when communicating with people from other regions of the world (Sweden, US, UK, Western Europe, China, Japan...) speaking with different accents different from each other.
