Plans

Go there using public transport (green line, then bus to within 5 minutes walking distance), and then head back to my room using a different set of public transport (commuter rail, then orange tram).

Expedition

Getting there was smooth sailing, thanks to Sweden's wonderfully walkable design and the well-oiled public transit system.

Flemingsberg seems to have a majority-immigrant population. Notably, I've noticed multiple (5+) Turkish conversations happening around me, as well as a restaurant with a Turkish name, suggesting that a migrant community from Turkey has formed around this area. The fact that central Stockholm is much more mono-ethnically Swedish white and that immigrants and refugees are "outsourced" to peripheral cities is hard to miss; even more so since I am taking a class on Swedish and U.S. Migration Policy during my semester here in Sweden.
