Charlottenberg

Charlottenberg is in Sweden, has a population of about 5000 people, is about 2 hours from the Oslo in Norway and quite close to the border between the two countries. The town centre isn't too much to look at -- a main street of mostly closed or closing down store fronts and a handful of very large shopping centres further out (the difference in prices between Sweden and Norwar vary greatly on some products, and malls of Charlottenberg capitalise on this). However, the place I'm staying at is about 5km from town, out in the country where there are a lot of flowers, fields, trees and the cottages, painted rust red or the roofs insulated with growing grass that are so typical of Sweden. It's pretty.
