Västra Hamnen

Last Tuesday I went into Malmö with Chad, Chad's host sister Cecilia and Marcus. Cecilia showed us around Västra Hamnen which is considered to be one of the more beautiful parts of Malmö. It's also where Turning Torso is, a giant twisty skyscraper. We walked around and saw the sights; the sea and the gallery in Turning Torso.



Cecilia told me a little about Malmö that I didn't know, there are lots of different neighborhoods. Västra Hamnen is where all the rich people live, there are lots of expensive apartments with glass walls that look out over the sea and immaculate landscaping. It's home to Malmö's best (and most expensive) ice cream and a plastic surgery clinic. In constast, there is an neighborhood called Rosengård. That is basically the ghetto of Malmö. Malmö is a pretty big city, with over 290,000 million inhabitants. It's Sweden's third largest city, and there is still lots of it that I haven't seen yet.
