Here are some photos from around Jönköping the past few weeks, when the weather's been nice!

swedish flags


Swedish flags flying over the
look-out point in Stadsparken. Stadsparken is
the city park. It has trolls,
walking paths, a football (soccer) stadium, good ice
cream, animals like goats and
chickens, old historic
buildings and a pond!

Jönköping and
Lake Vättern

rock trolls in stadsparken

Jönköping has a thing with trolls. Stadsparken has a row of rock trolls along
one of the entrance roads. The fourth one on the right is Papa Smurf.

pond

This pond has some ducks and geese in it, including a goose with only one leg!

emily & rock trolls

Emily with two rock trolls. One has a Swedish flag on his chest.

jon & rock trolls

Jon and two biker trolls. They have red bandanas, flames on their black jackets
and tattoos. The right one has "Mor" tattooed on his arm, which is Swedish for Mom.

Rådhuset

This is Rådhuset, Jönköping's city hall. We like the fountain.

högskolan i jönköping

Our campus. You can see that the international business school (white) and
the engineering school (yellow) are in the shape of a key, because "education is the key to the future." You can also see the communication building (with the glass wall) to the left.

spring party



Gosia, Robert (Poland) Seba (Belguim) and Jon at Centrum. Seba was just on the winning team in a beer-drinking contest so he was pretty happy!

Robert and Gosia's going away party. They had so much food!
But a few problems with the grill...

Seba was too busy taking photos
of the flames to help actually grill....
(well, me too.)

Mattias (Germany) finally got the grill under control.
