Getting down in Linkoping and having lunch

The train arrived at Linkoping right on time , one great thing about Sweden is buses and trains come on time , you just have to time your exit and you want be wasting any time on the road. We were met by Mona my manager and Beon who is the host for one of the other guys traveling with me. I guess we were not that hard to find because we three were the only ones covering our heads because of the cold. Its always a good feeling when you finally arrive at your destination especially after a tiring journey. We got onto Mona's car and went to her place to for lunch.
You very rarely see big houses in Sweden , there are no poor people but I suppose there are not many very rich people as well. Saving money and collecting wealth doesn't seem to be the priority here , its more like enjoy your life to the fullest without bothering anyone. Most people in Sweden are very friendly and they always greet each other , even ones who you meet for the first time. And they are very disciplined as well , you want find people running a red light in Sweden and they almost always stop for pedestrians which is a big difference from Sri Lanka.
We had burgers for lunch in Mona's place and it was a very good meal. It takes a while to get used to the all the things you have to do in the dining table but as most things in life you get used to it. After a nice lunch we dropped off the other two in IFS apartment and went to see the place I am supposed to stay , Linkoping vandrarhem
