Today we started our adventures off by visiting Hasselblad cameras, they are a very high end camera manufacture that are the top of the market for producing cameras for still images. Fun fact they are the cameras that NASA took into space and they still have twelve cameras left on the moon.
The company has a long history of producing some of the highest quality cameras on the market, and producing the most reliable cameras on the market. They are in a league of their own spending over 6 hours on a camera assembling and testing them, they spend a majority of that time adjusting the sensors to make sure that every camera leaving the factory is in top condition and free of defects. This puts Hasselblad in their own category that no mass producing camera manufacture can compete with.
Today we visited ABB robotics and had a great time with Bert, besides in taking part of the national pass time of enjoying Fika, after the large Swedish traditional meal and a coffee break. Bert gave us an in-depth presentation on augmented reality mixed reality and other types
We went to the Frolanda hockey game last night, and it was such an experience, we sat in the 4th row right next to the fan section. We love Swedish hockey, it was tons of fun chanting and screaming your head off with the Swedes even if you have no idea what it means. the game ended with our new favorite home team coming out on top. The Frolanda Indians won the game 8-4 despite losing to them twice this season already, that was definitely the highest scoring and wordlist hockey game I’ve ever been to.
The swedes have kept the tradition up of being the friendliest people I’ve ever meet, at the game i was complimented from many hockey fans on my Chicago Blackhawks jersey, and one particular fan was such a fan of his new American friend that he brought us Frolanda scarfs that translate closely to go good guys. This game in particular was special because it was Joel Lundqvist’s 1000 game, the whole stadium was packed and it was cool to see hockey played on a bigger sized rink, and to be apart of a winning team once again.
As you can see we our adapting from our humble Chicago roots, to the fast pace life of Gothenburg we are now two teams one goal.
