Malmö, the third largest city in Sweden, is my home at the moment. i’m here for a conference, but also have a little free time as well.

Malmö is very much a walking and cycling town, and i’ve never been in a place with so many beautiful and fit people……it’s a little disconcerting.

since this was a work trip the travel and accommodations were arranged with corporate policy in mind. SAS Airlines was the airline of choice since they had a direct flight from SFO to Copenhagen. Copenhagen is just 20 minutes away from Malmö by train. The train ticket was inexpensive (under $15) and flying into Malmö is very expensive. i’m at the Radisson Blu Malmö, and it’s perfectly acceptable. there are two standard beds and plenty of space in the room and my view is of this church.

the hotel is very close to a square called Lilla Torg where we have had dinner every night. there are many different restaurants including a Scottish pub, the Drumbar, the Green Chile (Indian), Swedish classics at Victors, and the Steakhouse Lilla Torg. plenty of vegetarian options everywhere including the steakhouse.

one of the buildings in the square was being renovated and was covered in scaffold. the scaffold was then covered in a giant painting of the building. they even make building renovation pretty.
