      Yes, it really does. It’s such a difference from Halmstad and Linköping where I lived before. In a good way, of course.

    Sweet photos!. Would love to see that Africa exhibit. Need to make it down to Gothenburg soon. Switching base back to Stockholm in 3 weeks.

      The Africa photos were amazing. I’m not sure how long that exhibit is available though. Hopefully you’ll have the chance to see it. Must be nice to get back to Stockholm again by the way. But cold!

    Very interactive post, I liked J-Son’s trailer, captivated and creative plus the cute candles that reminded me of advent (something I haven’t heard in a while). Gothenburg certainly looks like my place to be.

      I can admit, it’s actually the first time I saw a trailer for an album. That’s not especially common here in Sweden.

      As for Gothenburg, I highly recommend visiting!

    Hmm… Spices… Reminds me of the markets in Sri Lanka.

      That was only one of five tables. I’ve never seen that many different spices in the same room before!
