People Do Care! Even About Foreigners!

Sweden does not fail to shock me! And Swedish people are not less surprising! today maybe even more than ever so far.

Today I left my student accomodation, and like every day, I went to the bus stop. I had no coins to buy the ticket, but I had my credit card that I used for the same purpose several times so far. But today, it would't work! The bus was already in the stop and I kept on trying once, twice, three, four times to get a ticket. But NO! It didn't work! And the bus was still waiting. It waited for 5 minutes, for me to get a ticket.

And then, an old lady, en gumma how the Swedish say, said: " Kom hit! jag ska betala biljettet till dig! Kom!"(" Come here! I will pay the ticket for you! Come!). So I got in the bus and the lady gave some money to the driver and so the bus left. I think I thanked her tens of times. And she kept on smiling.

She was the kind of person that comes into my life only once, but precisely when I need.
