First Post.

Moved to Sweden from Israel more than two months ago, to live with my wife. I’m a computer scientist / programmer, she’s a student / not programmer.
I will not start (and have not started) from the beginning, since it’ll take about 27 years to tell.

First thing I realized about the move here which says a lot about the society, is the bureaucracy. In Israel, if you need a signature, a paper or whatever – you are going to run between 4-5 offices, located in different places (hopefully in the same city), argue with bureaucrats, shout and yell (mostly “I’ve already BEEN THERE“, and “Go there again?!”); at the end, you will get all your papers, all your signatures and one sweaty T-Shirt within a day or two.
In Sweden on the other hand – you go, fill a form in 5 minutes, and you get everything ready and set to your home. 4 months later.

Bureaucracy is tha shit.
