Göteborg!

This week I made my way by train to Swedens second city, Goteborg! I was in town to visit with my good friend Daniel who came to Scandinavia to attend a conference for work. At just under a million inhabitants,Goteborg is one of the bigest cities in Scandinavia and also one of the most vibrant. Goteborg has some similarities with Amsterdam or Copenhagen in that it is incredibly clean and surrounded by canals, interesting shops, and cafes! Daniel and I also made our way out of town to a little island 40 minutes from the mainland by ferry (part of the public transit network)... which I must say was incredibly beautiful and effcient (this is Scandinavia after all).
In general I was very impressed by the city and really enjoyed myself... although it is quite an expensive place (but, not as bad a most Norwegian cities).
Anyway I hope you enjoy the photos!
