Wow..u are in the wrong country cos this is the most boring country anyone can live in.anyway,as regards the job,I pray and hope u get one.swedish people are not welcoming at all.they are just all a bunch of boring and lonely people.I hope you find a friend...and I am sure you will think of going back to england after a few weeks..

thank you for your message - i have found it hard i dont think its too boring however i have found it hard to get a job and make friends like you suggest, i am probably going to being moving again in a month of two as i find it very expensive compared to the uk and without a job i cant afford to stay, thank you for your advice x
