The first big surprise is that as I say my name, I would answer from the girl who until recently had spoken to me in Swedish and then in English ... in Italian! to be honest with a strong Venetian accent: D The other surprise is that
Ooooo! It was arrivatoooo!
time to get the shoes (in Swedish houses because you do not ever enter with your shoes in the house! Is all wooden floors!) And jacket and fly out to the car, except to realize that I no longer had a car but an ice cube. I do not know why mine was the only road machine to be reduced so ... a layer of ice everywhere around her. I open the door e. .. PANIC! E 'is blocked! The ice must have blocked locks, or even the hinges!
The door handle does not move, I have a strong pull to make it move ... but despite this, the door is not right.
It takes a couple of tries and a bit 'of violence in order to open it ... yet there were only -4 degrees, there was worse. Perhaps these days the wind is more humid (and feel), also standing at 300 meters from the port, which has brought us is a bit 'of water behind.
After 10 minutes to warm up the car and the windshield de-icing, I fledging to the hostel.
I find the girl with whom I spoke, handing me the envelope. When I asked "but you are ...?" she replies in almost Venetian narrow "no no! are svedesissima! born and raised here!" to that question is obvious and the answer even more: he had lived several years in the Veneto and with much hard work he had learned a flawless Italian. Very Venetian, though: D
Unfortunately there was already a line, and are not able to find out more. Too bad, it made me curious, and then I was too weird to talk with the Swedish Venetian!
So, I open the envelope with the fear of being refused, but instead it's true! there was nothing within my personnumer! Since yesterday, so I officially my "name" Swedish! It 'also true that for a millisecond I felt a bit' like a cow branded ready to enter the system, however it is something essential here, then I'll be able to find a happy medium.
first thing this morning I went to the offices of Göteborg Stad (meaning City of Gothenburg, so I'm not entirely sure it's the right name of the office ... in any way is to Rosenlundgatan 8) to register all'SFI , Swedish for Immigrants, which is the Swedish language course that the government offers free to anyone who has relocated here and are interested in learning the language.
A little 'waiting numerini with the usual type of the food coop (numerini that here are EVERYWHERE! I found them also to indicate the first free cash at a megastore appliances!) and finally a nice Swedish invites me to sit in his office.
hurry a light red tape (basically nothing, I told my personnummer and some additional data like the phone and everything was in place), and I enrolled in the class for people with advanced education (they are divided among 12 or more years of including elementary education, between 9 and 12 years, and less than 9 years for people with no education, probably because of the Arab immigrants who are here a large percentage of the population).
Goodbye however from the basic level: grammar, pronunciation, etc., 3 hours per day, 5 days a week (But right now I'm getting the suspicion that it was 2 or 3 times a week ... oh well I'll check better when the letter arrives), full immersion in the sense that we speak exclusively to the Swedish course, also says that because many participants do not speak English.
One or two weeks before they send me a letter with all the necessary information ... Having regard to the time I said that probably the course will begin in mid-January ... excellent, whereas damage maximum waiting time of three months!
Tomorrow however I expect the Arbetsförmedlingen, or the Swedish employment office ...! Despite having completed all of my data online, the first I still need to insert into the database within 14 days of signing up! I suppose to do an interview, check references and data and limit spam.
then go even dall'arbetsförmedlingen art (though I do not remember the exact name, but it is to Nordstan), because here also the employment agency for art and culture! Let's see if I can find the place as a sound somewhere, although I've already sent my resume to all the studies I found on the Internet.
And now to bed, tomorrow I have a lot of things to do!
PS: even today ... fine-_-I think you are organized against the only Italian city car.
