The end of Gothenburg

So, on the noon of the 24th I said goodbye to Rickard and his lovely gf and took tram #2 to a statue of a man riding a horse (all in green). I don't really remember anything significat from that trip but I ended up meeting with Petra Hall there.

Petra took me to her dorms and made me some tasty food ^_^ and then we took a nice walk around gothenburg while discussing politics :P. Petra is doing her masters in Global Politics and I argued against Democracy and for Monarchy. When we got back I made my famous omlette and we watched Dr. Horrible's sing along blog.

The next day we were supposed to go to Liseberg with Rickard and Lotta but when we got there the park was closed, so we just ended up taking a boat to some island. At this point I should probably mention that a ride on a boat costs the same as a ride on a bus or tram and is covered in the free pass (AWESOME).

On that Island we walked around a lot and had some tasty Makrel ;)

On our way back we stopped at a pub and I drank some local swedish beer (verdict : good). I then proceeded to organize my stuff and take a nap before going to the airport.

I set out to the airport at about 23:15 and got there by 00:30. At this point I should probably mention that my flight wasn't due until 06:45. So with more than 6 hours to kill, I decided to finish watching the second season of The Guild and then catch some sleep on a bench before the check-ins open.

After about 1 hours of attempted sleep on a very uncomfortable bench, some Swedish dude started chatting up three Chinese girls on the bench across from me. I couldn't sleep anymore so I just joined in on the conversation as the dude wasn't going to let me sleep quietly. A few hours, Chinese writing and some Vodka Redbull later, the check-ins opened and I gleefully marched forward towards my many-hour-long flight chain to San Jose California.

I really don't wanna get into details about the way becuase it was VERY tiresome and boring with me falling asleep for a few minutes every now and then and ended up with me buying a Motorola phone for $150...

And by this point I'm getting pretty tired with writing this post so I'll just link a few albums and go away.
