Härnösand: A Swedish town!
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
Härnösand:
This is a town in Sweden. Or if you ask those who live there, they will call it a City. To be a bit more specific in a geographical point of view, it’s by the ocean on the east coast, and about 55 Swedish miles (550km) from Stockholm that is the capital of Sweden.
If you find a kaktus here it will not be found outside, since the temperature is stretching from +25 to -30 celsius.
When you drive in from some other place down south, the first thing you will notice is the prison. The next thing is the police station. This is nothing you should worry about though, since it is purely an attempt to have psychological effect on you. The thing that you should worry about is if you find a parking space, and don’t pay. This may seem strange to anyone that knows that Härnösand only has one parking guard. But however this guard seems to be wherever you have parked without paying.
One other thing that might strike you as odd is the number of hairdressers and pizza places. They seem to exceed any possible number that a town of this size can coop with. One might think that the people of Härnösand only eat junk food and cut their hair, and would most probably be right.
One other thing is the number of cafés in the town. One of these is the Prisma café: Here are all the rich guys and all the poor guys. The rich guys buy expensive lunches and the poor guys buy coffee. The coffee cost 12kr (Swedish kronor) or 1 pound, and a refill will cost you 5kr.
Pubs:
"Skeppet", this is a small restaurant...why do mention it under pubs you ask?...well it is actually used as a pub many of the visitors...moastly because the beer taste good...but also because the building has an angle...not in a psycological point of view but actually fysicaly...this is known to have an effect on everybody that is trying to be particularly drunk...actually thinking that you are drunk without evidence is one thing...proving it by not being able to stand straight is another. So it has proven to be the cheepest place to get yourself realy wasted without actually getting a hang-over...ofcource when you step outside you'll fall to the ground because you think the earth is leaning...hopefully there are no cops around to see this and you will be able to return back in to tell you friends that 'it is not a good idéa to go outside!'
I’ll finish this entry later…
