OT: I am moving to Sweden.....any expats here ??

#OneTeam#NextLevel · Jul 7, 2015

So, I recently accepted a job with my company (IKEA) in Sweden....moving over to Helsingborg in a few months. Wondering how many expats are here on BWI ?? Thankfully for BTN_2_Go and Slingbox, I will not miss a minute of the season....and there's only 1 sports bar in Helsingborg (O'Leary's), so I know where the Penn State bar is

!! But if there are any posters here living in Sweden, please send me a message!

You are one lucky guy...

ClarkstonMark · Jul 7, 2015

I hope you are young and single!

I suspect when you return (to the States), you'll be older, wiser and a Secular Humanist.

To your journey. Cheers.

#OneTeam#NextLevel is a great guy, but he's neither of the things you mentioned. I'm sure he'll be enjoying the scenery; just not sampling it.

Maybe he could send some samples our way? Oh, and are they free samples??

John - after seeing your Facebook post this morning I know that this must be you who started this thread. I was just going to e-mail you my Slingbox advice since that is what we use here in Rotterdam. We are using a Comcast cable TV feed at a friend's home and then connecting to it via Slingbox here in Holland. I told Bonita about your move and I saw Eva Andersson this morning (long story) and told her about it as well. She said that she will have to e-mail you. We'll only be a short flight and a train ride or two apart once you move to Helsingborg. You should have taken a job in Delft so that we could watch the PSU games together. Hahaha! ;-)

I truly hope he doesn't lose all common sense as you suggest he will.

Well, the day has finally arrived. I fly over tonight (Newark to Copenhagen via Reykjavik)....and then a train to Helsingborg (via Malmo)..... long day ahead of me! Planes, trains and automobiles!! Arrive tomorrow at 12:45 pm. Good news is - the Slingbox is working perfectly! Crystal clear picture on my iPad and phone....quick connect to Apple TV, and I am in business! If anyone is living in Sweden, or visiting, shoot me a message. My new neighbors will assume I am cheering for a soccer club, but it'll all be "We Are" chants!! Looking forward to 9 or 10 wins. Think positive! And, lastly, be on the lookout for 3:00, 4:00, 5:00 am EST posts. Fortunately, it won't be because I have no life! 6 hr. time difference.

Best of luck to you and safe travels.
WE ARE...NITTANY NATION!!!!

Visited Sweden for a few weeks a couple of years ago. Loved Stockholm and the countryside. After getting used to the different 'Euro atmosphere' you should love it. Now everyone here has a place to stay if we are ever in Sweden.

Delft is a great city. I loved it there. Just out of curiosity, what is the PSU bar there? (in case I ever get back)
