Bus Stop Blues....

One of the great things about living in Sweden is the public transportation. I use the bus everyday and I prefer it to riding my bike into Malmö each morning for class...Plus its a 50 min bike ride on the bike paths and 30 min if I ride in the street....Well we all know that I don't belong in the street....I will end up in the ER with something broken!
So I take the bus...Which most of the time is ok. The bus driver here are not always very nice and at least once a week they miss my stop and keep driving....But for the most part they get me to where I need to go.....

Well here in the boonies of Malmö in Bunkeflostrand they have been building new houses,roads and roundabouts since before we moved here...and well our street is one big gravel pit...This past weekend we spent lots of time outside getting our patio ready for summer and to BBQ.....I didn't really notice the past few weeks that the street was getting wider in one section of the road outside our kitchen window! Paulus pointed out to me a sign pole without a sign,a trash can and a place for a bench on the sidewalk. THEY ARE PUTTING A BUS STOP OUTSIDE MY KITCHEN WINDOW!!!!!!
I will admit I'm annoyed...Just when they are almost done with the houses being build across the street and knowing that it will be quieter...they go and build a bus stop...which means that every 30 mins a big green monster will pass by my open window..but there is a plus side....I wont have to worry about people getting lost trying to find our apt and when it snows I only have step outside my door to get the bus. So I will end my bus stop rant here and hope that the new bus route will be a blessing instead of a nuisance! Off to enjoy the last day of warm weather.
