3 Lule city Lule of today is the result of the municipal amalgamation of 1969. In that year, the municipalities of Lule City, NederLule and Rne were united to form the large Municipality of Lule, stretching over an area of 1,782 sq.km. The coat of arms of the three previous municipalities included a key, the symbol of Peter the Apostle, a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee. In the 15th century Gammelstad Church was consecrated in the honor of St Peter. The symbol is therefore unusually suitable for Lule. Moreover, in former times, fishing was the main source of livelihood in this area. Lule was founded in 1621 around the medieval church in Gammelstad. The city was an important commercial centre even then, with maritime trade with ports in the south, in particular Stockholm. However, the harbor in Gammelstad did not satisfy the demands made by an expanding maritime trade, and the city had to be moved 10 kilometers to its present site. Nevertheless, the citizens refused to abandon Gammelstad. The King had to resort to a decree to force them to move to the new city. In spite of this show of royal power the move to the new site went slowly, but was finally accomplished in 1649. Trading with fish, leather, wood and tar continued. The new city developed slowly, and right up to the end of the 18 th century there was rather a village atmosphere to Lule. It would take more than another half century before venture capital from the south would pave the way for industrial activity here. Several shipbuilders established great yards in different parts of the city and produced vessels of high class. When steamships put an end to the era of sailing ships, production at the shipyards gradually ceased. The shipbuilders were to be followed by others later on. Attempts to refine the Lapland ore attracted pertinacious metallurgists to the County of Norrbotten, and the traces of their toils can be seen in several places in Lule. The "Ore Railway" changed the economic prerequisites for iron production and Lule Ironworks was inaugurated in Karlsvik in 1906. Its history, however, became a short one. In the 1940s the Norrbotten Ironworks was built up and came to play an important role for Lule and the whole of the County of Norrbotten. It is nowadays known as SSAB Lule (Swedish Steel Co. Ltd, Lule Steelworks) and is one of the most modern steelworks in Europe. Lule is the seat of the Norrbotten County Administration and has a population of about 72,000. The city centre is on a peninsula, water plays an important part in the lives of Lule inhabitants. The Lule archipelago has over 500 islands. The city has developed into a technological centre in the North of Sweden. The most important corner-stones of this development are metallurgy, education and research, as well as good communications where Lule University of Technology has played an important role.
4 Culture of Sweden One of the key characteristics of Swedish culture is that Swedes are egalitarian in nature, humble and find boasting absolutely unacceptable. In many ways, Swedes prefer to listen to others as opposed to ensuring that their own voice is heard. When speaking, Swedes speak softly and calmly. It is rare that you were witness a Swede demonstrating anger or strong emotion in public. In terms, Swedes rarely take hospitality or kindness for granted and as such, they will give often give thanks. Failing to say thank you for something is perceived negatively in Sweden. Behaviors in Sweden are strongly balanced towards lagom or, everything in moderation. Excess, flashiness and boasting are abhorred in Sweden and individuals strive towards the middle way. As an example, work hard and play hard are not common concepts in Sweden. People work hard but not too hard, they go out and enjoy themselves, but without participating in anything extreme. Due to the strong leaning towards egalitarianism in Sweden, competition is not encouraged and children are not raised to believe that they are any more special than any other child. * Religion There are 3500 churches in this vast but sparsely populated country. Sweden has almost 9 million people, and 2009 was 71.3% of them are members of the Church of Sweden. The Church of Sweden is an Evangelical Lutheran community of faith manifested in parishes and dioceses. The Church of Sweden also has a national organization. The Church of Sweden is an open national church, which, working with a democratic organization and through the ministry of the church, covers the whole nation. In Lule there are 5 churches close to the city center. For more information on the Church of Sweden, visit: http://www.svenskakyrkan.se/default.aspx?id=657804 There is also Catholic Church and a prayer room (as a temporary mosque) in the center of Lule. At the University, we have a student chaplain who works close to the Student Health Centre. There is also a Muslim mosque in Lule which is situated in rnaset. Buses from the town center take about 15 minutes from the city and would drop you at rnaskolan. For more information please visit: http://www.islamicfinder.org/getitWorld.php?id=51926
5 Climate The warm Gulf Stream in the Atlantic gives Sweden a milder climate than other areas equally far north. Stockholm is at almost the same latitude as southern Greenland but has an average temperature of about +18C (64 F) in July. The difference between the southern and northern regions of Sweden is not so noticeable in the summer, except for the sun never setting in June and July in the northernmost part, a phenomenon called the midnight sun. In the winter, however, northern Sweden is always covered by snow (at least between December and March) while the winter climate in much of southern Sweden may vary from year to year, as does the amount of snow. Winters in Lule are rather cold, with lots of snow. Summers are usually relatively warm. In autumn and spring there is occasional rain. Average temperature in Lule in winter is about -15C and in summer is about +18C. The short but spectacular spring and autumn helps to counterbalance the effect of winter. During the summer, it never gets dark and the sun does not set at all for some time. During the darkest weeks of winter, there are 4 hours of full day-light. Since the weather in winter is very cold, you should bring supplies of warm clothing such as coats, sweaters, warm socks, long underwear and etc or you can buy from Sweden shops if youd like.

How to pay your rent and other bills There are two ways to pay your rent, at a Swedish bank or from your home bank. You are not able to pay your rent directly to the landlord by going to their offices.
Paying from a Swedish bank You do not need a bank account to pay your bills at a Swedish bank. You can pay at the bank using cash or credit card. Accepted cards in Sweden are MasterCard, Visa, EuroCard, Diners Club and American express. Here are the costs for paying one bill at a number of Swedish bank: Lnsfrskringar Bank: 50 SEK Forex Bank: 50 SEK Swedbank: 50 SEK SEB: 65 SEK Nordea: 80 SEK
18 Paying from Internet Banking Paying bills from Internet banking, if you have a Swedish bank account, is free of charge. Different banks have different rules regarding opening an account for non-Swedish residents. Please read section Where to open a bank account for more information.
Paying from your home bank You can also pay from your home bank. Check with your bank the cost for making international payment. When you pay the rent from a foreign bank, you will need the following information which your landlord will provide you on a separate sheet attached to your contract: The name and address to your landlords bank That banks BIC/SWIFT code Your landlords account name Your landlords IBAN number
To know that the payment comes from you, your landlord need the following information noted with the payment. You will find this information on the bill: Fakturanummer (= bill number) if you pay the rent at your banks office. OCR number only if you pay the rent through Internet banking. Objektnummer (= object number) Amount in SEK
Paying several rents at once If you would like to pay several or all rents with one payment, it is possible to do so. You can use the next bill due and pay larger amount. If the bank does not accept this you can ask your landlord to print a special bill. The extra amount you pay will be discounted on future bills. You will still receive these bills but instead of an amount it will be written Makulerad which means it has already been paid.
Where to open a bank account There a few bank branches in Sweden as follow: Swedbank, SEB, Handelsbanken, Nordea, and Forex bank. Most of them demand you have a Swedish social security number (Personnummer) and to obtain one of those you need to stay in Sweden for more than 12 month. Without a social security number, the amount of services he banks can provide is severely limited.
19 Swdbank You are able to open a bank account. You need to bring your passport, residence permit (if it applies to you) and letter of acceptance from LTU. You will only receive a bank account and there is limited amount of services that comes with that.
SEB You need to stay in Sweden for two semesters. They provide you with a service to pay your bills for a yearly cost of 180 SEK. You can also get a Maestro Card connected to your Swedish account. Bring passport or valid EU ID card, and residence permit (if that applies to you).
Handelsbanken You can open an account but you first need to go there to get a form to send to your bank in your home country to validate your credit. Then they have to send it back to Sweden and if Handelsbanken validates your papers you can open a bank account there with Internet banking.
Nordea Cannot open an account without a Swedish social security number.
Forex Bank Cannot open an account without a Swedish social security number.
