Crazy Idea draws global interest.

A Swedish town, with around 5000 people, launched a campaign in mid April. The town's name is Gotene who has a mayor named Johan Manson.Around 30 plots of abundant land were lying idle for decades. The mayor himself admitted that to sell those plots was a crazy idea...in fact a kind of joke. The land price was fixed at one Swedish krona($0.095) per square meter. The actual idea was to build more houses in that specific area. After few weeks Gotene managed to sell 3 plots. Something unimaginable now happened.Many Swedish media picked up the story and a video was posted on TikTok.The story of the cheap price of land attracted large number of people. Emails and calls came pouring in from a large number of buyers ! Enquiry came from Europe, Asia (India and Pakistan),US, Australia, South America etc, 'Now Gotene is in the world map.'said Mansson.

We usually used to go to bangalore every year to our son.  It was in such a visit -we found our son and daughter-in -law pretty busy with music rehearsal.
