Hey All

This is Shyamila, a lovely Sri Lankan, who recently moved to Sweden with my husband and one year old kiddo. We moved here in last November and it's just 4 months in the country. My husband is reading for Msc and we live in Västra Frölunda. We both are academically qualified individuals where I worked as an Operations Officer for HSBC for 12 years and my husband worked as a telecommunication engineer in our home country. Hope to have a nice stay in the country and seeking for some job opportunities as well :)

Hi Shyamila,

Nice to see Sri Lankans in Gothenburg. Me and my wife (along with two kids) is also planning to come to Gothenburg this September. We have applied for Masters Program at Chalmers University and waiting for selection results.

If possible please share your experience on Gothenburg, and for the kids. Specially finding an apartment/house and school for children.

Thanks
