Gothenburg - Sweden, September 2006

Sweden is a beautiful country, I've always wanted to go since meeting Nicholas, a Swedish mate from primary school in Bondi, Sydney. Nicholas turned up to school in year 4 and was about 1 foot taller than everyone else, and seemed to be 20 times stronger. Now I've grown up and things are in perspective, but it was still nice to go check out Sweden's culture which confirmed everyone is a bit bigger, and a bit blonder than here in the UK.

Sweden lived up to what I thought it would be, a friendly, clean place with a undercurrent of coolness which seeps from the design culture that is everywhere in the shops, museums and architecture.

Cobble stoned streets, quirky cafes, interesting museums and good shopping was had by all.
