Across the bridge

At 7.50 in the morning, Jorgen Person starts work in his office in Copenhagen, but

he isnt Danish and he doesnt live in Denmark. He lives in Sweden and every day

he travels from his home in one country to his office in another. How long does

the journey take? It takes one and a half hours, from door to door, says Jorgen.

He leaves home at 6.20, takes the bus to Malmo train station, and gets the train at

6.49. The train travels to Copenhagen via the bridge that links Sweden and

Denmark. From the station he gets a bus to his office. Does he find the journey

stressful?

back to Sweden in the evening? I try to leave my office at 5.00. During the day I

have only fifteen or twenty minutes for lunch so thats usually possible. Then I get
