Gothenburg

Easter holiday or should I say Monday to Wednesday was a trip that was suppose to involve an appointment but I got the date all wrong. So I will have to visit it again in 2 months time.

This trip I brought along my son and his best friend. We made sure that they had their own room this time or we wont get any sleep. It was a relaxing trip to which the kids enjoyed very much. We stayed at scandic next to the mall. It was an ok hotel that has a pool. For the price we paid the room was decent but they did not clean our room eventhough I put up the sign.

We tried several new places this time. We did mother India, they had briyani which I had. When we ordered I asked for our food to be tindaloo and she said are you sure and I said yes, as people usually look at T.I and I usually say yes he can handle hot stuff!! This is not the normal briyani that I get back home in Singapore but it will do until I learn how to cook it. This restaurant was next to the hotel and we love trying new places.

Gothenburg is known for their vegetarian places to choose from. Since we wanted to up our intake of vegetables we tried a new place. Andrum vegetarian restaurant. We had the buffet and I must say it was so yummy that I will try to make more vegetarian food. Now that is a challange as it is not easy as I am not sure how and what they use. It is something that I will take one. I have so far made vegetarian soup that we really enjoy and I will try to make other things and try to search the internet for it as it is a great place to find stuff.

This is a smallish town that you can walk and enjoy. It has all the necessity that a city has and yet small enough for you to walk everywhere. When you drive you dont really get confused or lost unless you are me and is useless with a gps when driving. Though it does not help when 'Magda' keeps getting us lost or was it T.I that does not listen to her. We have been there several times now that we say we are on sight seeing trip. Even when we brought mum along, she was like, we get to see the other side of Sweden.

This is a city where you get to see people from all walks of life, the Swedish are friendly and are open to strangers. As someone who has lived in Norway for a long time, I cant help but see the Swedes are a good looking bunch of people but I am sure others already know that.

We have tried several hotels and basically its just a waste of money to pay a lot unless you want to have a pool as its so close to drive or walk and if you dont want to stay in the hotel room all the time. Use the money saved on the food!
