Visit to Alby suburb..

Class starts at 6pm today with another field trip with the Swedish class to the Alby suburb.. it was a super far place.. took me an hour to reach.. i was half an hour late but luckily for me, when i got out of the train station, the whole class walked past me on their way to the next place (they had gathered at the town hall earlier at 6pm) n i managed to join them there.. phew..

From the picture below, we could see that this suburb seems to be in the middle of the forest.. many suburbs in Stockholm r built like this.. this belongs to the Botkykra kommune.. kommune means municipality in Swedish.. All these subrubs r built in response to the govt plan to build one million homes in Sweden in the 1970s.. Sweden was then facing a serious shortage of housing..


rather old fashioned n boring looking blocks of flat..

ppl fishing..

we walked around the town for quite some time with occasional breaks where the guide will stop n tok abt certain areas.. finally the trip ended for ALby.. n we walked towards the next suburb Fittja to take the tunnelbana from there back home..

Nice scenery along the road to Fittja





Electricity cables...
