Recently, I travelled to our offices in a different city with the Turning Torso as the only landmark. Wonder how? Read on..
Earlier this week, I was asked to come to Office in a different city. When asked for directions, I was simply told "Really easy, Look for the white tower and our office is right across from that'. Besides the printed directions in Swedish, this all the directions I got for visiting our offices in Malmo, Sweden. Though, I was a little skeptical, it wasn't all that difficult.
Took a train from Helsingborg to Malmo. I looked up the schedule on net, knew the time, price & platform. Armed with this information, getting to comfortable confines of the train was a breeze. Though free wifi was available, it was spotty at best. But that was enough for me to catch up with whatsapp messages and FB.
Malmo is a small little town, in the southern most tip of Sweden. Besides housing the tallest building in Nordics, it also boasts of the longest bridge linking Sweden to Denmark across Oresund Strait. My colleagues tell me that, the bridge has given a new lease of life to the city. Since the bridge opened, more Danish folks started moving to Malmo due to cheaper real estate. Live in one country and work in another.. what a concept. I seen similar phenomenon between Evian, France and Lausanne, Swiss as well. This must be happening all across Schengen countries.
Looking at this no hassle travel across most of the EU countries, I wonder what it would take to have open borders with of India's neighbors... That would be quite something isn't it? But I also know the reality that, that quite something that would not happen in my lifetime. (Enough of dreaming.. Get back to blog!!!)
As I stepped out of the Malmo station, there it was, the tallest tower in Nordics in its all twisted glory, standing tall. With the Twisted Tower as my beacon, I walked for about 20 minutes and voila, landed where I needed to go. More on the Twisted Tower here.
