Thank's for your long and detailed answer. Regarding my pay, I'm not "over the moon" as it is in the region of salaries in Sweden. Of course I will have to pay tax in Sweden on the money as I will not be abroad longer than a year, I will only be away for ca. 7 months. And the tax will be approximately 35%, I think.

Thanks also for your long and detailed description of clothes. I will wear comfortable trousers (I could never wear a skirt) and try to find nice, long tops with long sleeves. Do you have any tips for department stores that have sizes for larger females? I'm a size 16-22 depending on the clothes and the maker... NOT funny after several hours of searching for clothes that fits, I can tell you.

I graduated as a PhD, with my dissertation in december 2005, 46 years old. In environmental science (regarding persistant organic pollutants in the Baltic Sea biota) so I have experienced how it feels to finally reach the GOAL. After all years of bringing up 3 children (now 25, 23 and 19) it was great to go back to University. I sincerely hope that you will reach your goal to!
