Tyresö here I go!

(Comment: I must warn you that this will be a very long post so you gotta be very patient...)

Finally the day arrived! I'm going to my new room, where I'll spend the next 5 months of my life! I woke up early in the morning, had a quick shower, breakfast and checked-out the hostel. I met with my new friends right in front of their hostel at 9.15 because it was really near to the central station and once we were all in there we just walked with all our bags to the central station to catch the metro to KTH.

METRO:

We had to buy a 1 hour ticket for more or less 4 euros because we were expecting to get the student ID card at KTH and we would buy the "6 months ticket" afterwards so you could save a lot of money. The thing is that KTH will only give us the Student ID in September so we had to buy a monthly ticket which was very expensive (690 SEK), even tough it can be used in metro, train, bus and ferry transportation. So now I am expecting to charge my card with the 6 month price in September and it will cost me ±2000SEK.

KTH and getting the key:

We arrived at 10:35 a.m. and there was already a very big queue to get the keys, even tough everyone knew that the doors would only open at 11.

We waited for an hour and a half to get the key and when we finally got it we went right away to the metro to go to our dormitory.

Going to the dormitory:

The way to the dorm is long and boring. From KTH we have to take the red line on the metro (or tunnelbana as it is called here), change to the green one at the Central Station and get off the metro at the fifth exit, Gullmarsplan. After that we take the bus to Tyresö and we walk for 3 minutes. The first time we went to the our accommodation it took us 50 minutes!

TYRESö

Once in Tyresö it was quite easy to find our building. Just have to cross the street and take a turn on the right. But to find the door to get in the building was a bit more complicated. We saw a sign saying that there was a psychiatric clinic and a veterinary clinic on the building and so we didn't want to believe it would be in the same building that we would be sleeping. It turned out it was and we just found it when we matched the keys we had with the door on the entrance. There's a photo of Ruben acting like a patient of the clinic:

The clinic is on the 1st and 2nd floor and our rooms are on the 3rd and 4th.

We went directly to our rooms and this is the one I'll be sleeping in for the next 6 months:

As you can see it is very nice and it was very tidy when I got there. It is also quite big and already has a closet, a shelf, a desk and my bed. It also has two lamps so I have a lot of light to study. =D

Then we went to the kitchen... and I didn't get a very good impression on that because it was all dirty. You can see in the pictures that there are ugly drawings on the wall and that there are a lot of left overs from the last occupiers of this place!

This is what I found in my kitchen compartment: tea and spices!

The fridge was very dirty and you can even see the lettuce glued on the back wall of the it...

As you see we got a lot of gift from the last inhabitants, some good and others not so good. In my room I found maps of Stockholm and the timetable of the bus that goes to Gullmarsplan, a set of tissues and a supermarket cart. I also got a letter! Here you have the pictures of it and I'll put the text on the next post so this one doesn't get that long (although it is already very long..)

To finish with this post I just want to put a picture of my first meal in Tyresö. I went with Ruben to the supermarket and we bought some pasta do cook for the dinner. In fact these are tortellini with tomato sauce! You can still see the dirty kitchen on the back of the picture.

Congratulations!!! This is the end of the post!!
