Göteborgskalas
August 15, 2003




After spending a few days of scraping old paint off the house...




..enjoying the old 'kaprifol' bush...




...we learned of the huge power outage in the northeast.




"The air conditioning in the subway stopped working." -We all have different ideas on what's important in life.




People took to the streets.




"There's is nothing suggesting this is a terrorist act."




traffic lights dysfunctional




subways stuck (camera mounted light source)




Took a bus to Gothenburg, where I hooked up with Marina...




...who seems happy in her nice office!




a few extra hours in the afternoon to stroll downtown




Oops. Sweden just started separating ATMs for different banks, charging fees for those using the 'wrong' machine.
Bad idea.




some more scenes from Gothenburg (Göteborg)







The Salvation Army...always there. (movie file)














grabbing a toast before hitting the pubs




Afterwork @ bliss; Johan, Per, Ulf




Olof, Per, Robert




eh...?




Heading into the night




close to 9pm




-Notice the ratio here:
3 cars, 2 bicycles, 1 tram, dozens of pedestrians. That's what a city should look like.
-Not JUST cars...




'Lasse Stefanz' on stage. People dancing. Mature Swedish dance music.


check out the party! (movie file)




Grabbing an evening snack...




...all of us.




Later on; free live concerts




Perhaps Dr. Alban is familiar?


you'll recognize these beats (movie file)




Good ol' Freestyle - pop from the 80's


Fantasi (movie file)




we carry on out into the party night




'Pripps Blå', the token Swedish beer




Oh, they're launching Smirnoff Ice over here! This is gonna be a great party.
