It's 11pm now, but it's still bright in Helsingborg...I came to Helsingborg by yesterday noon, it is a small town in Sweden nearby Copenhagen, and our Nederman HQ located here. The daylight is extremely long here, it start to turn bright from 3am, and turn dark only after 11pm...
The weather is slightly cooler in Helsingborg, and the food is 'cheap' if compared to Copenhagen, the ham, the sausage + sauce, and the beer here is superb!!!
What's impressive here is the beer, European loves beer, they drink beer 24/7, and the price of beer in Helsingborg fluctuate a lot, depends on which place you buy it. I bought my dinner at 7-11 on the first night, it's 10pm but it is as bright as 5pm in Malaysia, and theres not much food left in 7-11, but a LOT of beer inside there, and it is only 17kr/ bottle for a Tuborg, while a bottle of coke cost 11kr, the only left spaghetti cost me 35kr, and the volume can't even fix 1/3 of my stomach.
Monday morning, I took a very full breakfast, inc. sausage, omelet, salad, coffee, apple juice in the hotel, in Nederman HQ, they provide free lunch for their stuff, erm, it's ok, some Malaysia company did this too, but, they provide free beer too, they called it as light beer, only 3.5% alcoholic, so my lunch is fish + biscuit + beer, lol, 5pm sharp, the factory is almost empty, European enjoy life, because it is not worth for them to earn much, as they have to pay almost 50% of their salary to the govt.
Their mall closed latest by 7pm, before they closed, I'd went to shop around there, and whats surprising me is, the beer is only 25kr, for half a dozen........ 1 bottle of Tuborg is only about 4.2kr, it is cheaper than the tax-free beer in Langkawi... the consequence, as you seen on the picture, there is 2 dozen in my room's fridge now, haha. Dinner is provided free by the hotel, ang mo version rice and very nice sausage + coleslaw + coffee (yeah I drink only beer and coffee here, never even drink a drop of plain water for the whole day).
After dinner, I went to drink + watch Euro 2008 with Nederman's people from Sweden, Siberian, Norway and Singapore, a mug of Tuborg here cost 40kr, so the conclusion is, you can buy a Tuborg at Helsingborg, range from 4kr to 40kr, it's all depends on where you buy it. So the summary of the beer price as below:
Beer in drinking place: 40kr - 50kr
Beer in 7-11: 17kr
Beer in shopping mall: 4kr - 6kr
Beer in Nederman HQ: FREE, lol!!!
I'm drinking the 0.5L 4.2kr Tuborg while typing this blog, listening to Radiohead - Creep, and it's 11.30pm, but the day is still not-so-dark, and there is still 22 cans of Tuborg in my fridge, lol!!!
*RM1 = ~1.82kr
