Sweden / Gothenburg / Spice Asian Restaurant, party time on the streets and in Apartment No. 4

It’s Jonas’ turn to babysit me. I ain’t complaining. We sit in a small restaurant/bar in the central square of Gothenburg. We haven’t had a good old gossip in a while.

As… Continue reading Sweden / Gothenburg / Spice Asian Restaurant, party time on the streets and in Apartment No. 4

Sweden / Gothenburg / Freeport Outlet Village (boo) & crazy Swedish graduation rituals

Freeport Outlet Village  I am about to experience one of the biggest disappointments ever.

Sweden / Gothenburg / The Garden Society of Gothenburg / West Pride 2013 – Live and let love

Gothenburg is like the shy, pretty sister version of stunning Stockholm. She does not leave you stuttering and tongue-tied with her beauty like Stockholm but her subtle charm gently reels you in the more you get to know her. I find out that it is gay pride (aka West Pride) week here and am am absolutely… Continue reading Sweden / Gothenburg / The Garden Society of Gothenburg / West Pride 2013 – Live and let love

Sweden / Train from Stockholm to Gothenburg / A “Hello!” full of bubbly!

Some more sweet… Continue reading Sweden / Stockholm / Riche – lovely way to spend a lazy day

We are meeting Philip for lunch then heading out to pick up Tanja. First stop is the market in Stockholm, Saluhallen. It is a like an all-encompassing deli… Continue reading Sweden / Stockholm / Saluhallen & Strandbryggan – Cheers Tanja!
