International Office then arranged a Field Trip to Gothenburg city garden Slottsskogen and the amusement park Liseberg and for all international students at University West.<br><br></strong>Three coaches resigned from the university at lunchtime and 130 students traveled with Maria MacDonald from the International Office and some of the university student ambassadors to Gothenburg where Carl-Fredrik Miles from the International Office and Gunnar Peterson from the Department of Economics and IT. <br><br>- We parked in Slottsskogen and students got to see moose, deer and other animals, many of them had never seen such animals before. We were lucky that the trip turned from pouring rain to sunshine that lasted all day, so the tour in Slottsskogen was much appreciated, Maria MacDonald says. <br><br><strong>Teddy bears and chocolate packages</strong> <br>In the afternoon, the tour went on to Liseberg - one of the leading amusement parks in Europe offering entertainment and attractions. It took not very long before it got dark. The students were, among other things, seeing an ice show. The students also got to see some animals from the Animal Sanctuary Nordens Ark and had the possibility to walk around seeing all the lights, which were much appreciated. <br><br>- Many big teddy bears and chocolate packages came with the buses home at night. We &quot;dotted &quot; all students prior to departure, the departure from Slottsskogen and on departure from Liseberg amusement park and we were surprised how easy it was, Maria MacDonald says.<br> 2009-11-15T10:57:00+01:00 http://www.hv.se/extra/news/?module_instance=22&id=6519 http://www.hv.se/extra/news/?module_instance=22&id=6519 <strong>The economic situation is making times tough for Sweden&#39;s approximately 30 000 middle managers in health care.
