Kära Örebroare...
Kära Örebroare,
I have made my share of jokes about your city. To me, Örebro has always been the place I stop for a lunch burger on my way to Falun or other parts of Dalarna. And today is not the first time I have stayed out at Quality Eurostop on the edge of town.
And then there is the gnällbältet thing. But today I decided to actually see the centre. After all my gnäll this week, I just might fit in beautifully. I was pleasantly surprised! Down at the castle is really nice and everything along the river has that wonderful mix of medieval and art nouveau. And Stortorget was seriously stor. Other stor things were a bit out of place though. It felt strange to see all these modern large office buildings and shopping malls a block away from such a historical landmark.
Anyway, it is foggy outside my 8th floor window so I can't even see Örebro now. Maybe that is a good thing? Or maybe not. You can think about that while I sit here, try and get healthy and adjust my brakes for halkfest tomorrow.
