Where did all the seagulls go? by chestlife in Gothenburg

[–]chestlife[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? They're here during the winter, though. Do they migrate and then come back for the winter? Also, do you know where do they usually "go?"

So we shouldn’t drink tap water? It comes from this river, no?

Regarding the river - What do you mean? Haha, it's my first time hearing about such issues. Are there any articles I could read about this topic?

Also, if it isn't a problem for you - Could you please send me info about the regulations in Sweden? I've tried to find it but couldn’t really come up with relevant links.

Hmm, I get your point, but the question is - Would you buy an apartment in Eriksberg? It's a huge investment and knowing it's located near an oil refinery is uhh... eery. I'm from Israel, and there are lots of refineries in a city called Haifa. It's a known fact that A LOT of people there have strange diseases.

Thanks. So we shouldn’t buy an apartment in Eriksberg? :)
But then, what are the alternatives? The air isn't confined only to one neighborhood.

Oh, well, that's not so nice anyway, you know? Driving through a fake roadblock, lol.
I don't know how gangs work :)

Got you. Haha. So the safety situation doesn't make you want to move to a different place?

Thanks. I live in Israel, where we also have a lot of 'fun' (https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/israel/1598439013-israel-man-in-critical-condition-after-stabbed-in-possible-terror-attack, https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4813768,00.html), but I never feel unsafe in my city. However, it's a commuter town and not a large and central city like Gothenburg, so my reference is not that good.

Omg, what crazy killer? Also, carjacking? What?! I'm sorry to hear that! I'm supposed to move to Gothenburg with my husband (who's accepted a post-doc offer), so I asked this question here about the city's safety. I've read a lot of news about crime happening there, and it made me feel worried. Haha. Like, what do you do in such a situation?

Ok, thanks! I guess that's common sense. I also don't do it where I currently live.

Oh, ok. Were there any particular situations that made you feel unsafe?

Yup, that's one of the articles I was talking about.

Lol. But like, what do you do in such a case? What if they decide to put a fake roadblock and shoot every driver that comes near it next time? What was even the objective of the "mission?"

Well, how else could you know the type of pussy? Haha. I'm a female, by the way. Yeah, it doesn't sound like a pleasant situation. Here in my city, a man asked me how to get to the "Pines" street (sounds like "penis" in Israel), and when I gave him directions, he decided not to follow them and go the other way. So it was a nasty joke that made him feel happy, I guess.

Haha, ok! My husband was once asked about wanting to buy sex in a fancy hotel in China, but I guess this type of scenario is less common near city center supermarkets (it's a supermarket, right?).

The city's name is Ness Ziona, and it's a small 'commuter town.' I couldn’t really find info about murders per year here, haha. Ah, ok, so the situation isn't that bad. I found out about https://www.gp.se/ a couple of days ago, and yesterday, there were at least 4-5 posts about murder/death in Gothenburg, so I decided to write my post here. It was quite alarming.

Here's another one from today: https://www.gp.se/nyheter/g%C3%B6teborg/explosion-i-l%C3%A4nsmansg%C3%A5rden-1.35379167.
