Last few days in Molndal

Monday, March 30th - Two visits today. One to AstraZeneca - Alison's host, Stefan, told us about their pharmaceutical operations in Sweden and on the site in Molndal where they do mostly R & D work. Their facility in Molndal is HUGE and the architecture is amazing! This is just a portion of two builidings on the site.
Our second visit of the day was to IKEA. There we met with the Social and Environmental Coordinator to hear about their business practices PLUS we had a little extra time to do some shopping - even though we have an IKEA in Bloomington at home, it's still more fun to shop in Sweden!

Tuesday, March 31 - We had an early start this morning at the Molndal Stadhuset where we learned more about the structure of government in Sweden and how things work. In the entryway of the building, they had this awesome photographic layout of the town of Molndal.
At lunchtime, we gave our last official presentation in Sweden.

Tonight, we have a farewell party where all of our host families have been invited to join us one last time before we leave on Friday.
Thanks again to everyone that we have come in contact with during our time in Sweden - - it has been a trip of a lifetime and I, for one, will NEVER forget the things I have seen or the people I have met during my stay!!!!
Tack så mycket!! Steph

    Congratulations on (nearly) completing a successful GSE tour. It's overwhelming, exhausting, simulating and inspiring all at the same time. The connections you've made, both with your hosts and with each other, will prove invaluable.

    I've really enjoyed reading your updates and keeping tabs on your discoveries.

    I hope that you'll consider a few more "from the home front" blog updates as you get home, decompress and see ways to apply what you've learned and experienced.

    Trevelig resa hem och vi ses!

    Halsningar,
