The accomodation was quite good, even if the rooms were extremely small... but we were 100 metres from the University.

Danish and Swedish are both scandinavian languages and very similar. The pronunciation and some words are a bit different, but it only took 2-3 weeks to adjust. This is where I would differ from most other exchange students wisiting Sweden.

In Sweden is quite difficult to learn the language, because there, everybody talked English, the lessons were in english, TV in English, and the pronuntiation is really difficult, at least for people from Spain, France and Italy.

The best cafe in Vasteras is Cafe Granden. It has the warmest atmosphere and the best food. There is always a steady flow of people stopping in for a meal or just a cup of coffee with friends. It's a great spot!!!!
