haha,
your right i am getting about a bit, singapore was great, loved it, but the contract was straight forward systems design, they have and always intended to use experts for the design phase and locals (i.e cheaper bods) for the implementation/rollout phase. Always knew it'd be 3 months and no longer so no it's not because I was crap..
As for Sweden, it seems that europe (mainly stockholm, copenhagen, berlin, munich) is where all the work is right now, the uk has a little bit of an echo about it on the job front.
thanks for the advice allThe proud owner of 125 Xeno Geek PointsComment

You can get some apartment listings for free but then you have to pay a fee.
One of my cow orkers has spent the last 4 weeks trying to get something.
As one of the earlier posters pointed out this is about the worst time to rent with all the students returning and there is not much in the way of cheap hotels here.
Apart from that - it is a great place to live and you will find the work environment a little less intense than London."All around me I see chaos and confusion, my work here is done...."Comment
