Hi!

My name is Sebastian from Sweden and no we don't have any penguins nor polar bears .
Me and my spouse are moving to India (Chennai) end of October. I am an electric engineer, working for ABB, who has been given this wonderful opportunity to move abroad working for a sister department located in Chennai.

I hope this time abroad will give me new perspective on life, yeye I know it sounds cliché

We are up for anything that could make our stay remembered, Cultural events, party's, visit historical locations, travel around, meet new people etc.

One thing I want to do before I leave India/Chennai are to experience scuba diving on Andaman islands.

I have simple needs, my primary objectives after work are music, movies, games and training, but during the weekends I want to get out and experience the surroundings.

Hope I can meet any one who reads this

Br Sebastian

I have been to Marina Beach in Chennai; my wife and I spoke to someone who described the tsunami.
Please say hello to Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid for me.
