G'nite Gothenburg

 A few photos from an evening stroll:

A purple hue over Gothenburg as the sun sets on Tuesday night

A bridge in the city had a note attached to it. The hashtag means "build a bridge".

Speaking of books, today marks the start of national book week in Sweden. A national ode to the book. Yet another reason to love Sweden. Book retailers participate by having huge book sales, often slashing prices in half.

My dream come true. The best candy store ever. This clip is merely 1/3 of the entire store. The rows just keep on going. I thought I had died and arrived at the pearly gates. My version of the pearly gates, anyway.

Cheeze Heartz. The company also makes Cheezy Doodles. They're branching out.

McDonalds has a new campaign in Sweden. "Tastes of America" will introduce four new burgers in the next eight weeks. First up is Kentucky with a steakhouse burger including bacon and tomato sauce. I'm guessing Texas will have its own burger before the campaign is over. Something tells me it will have BBQ sauce on it somewhere.

 I concur. This is a public service announcement of sorts. A local transportation company responsible for making sure buses, trams, and trains are on time is using their ad space to apologize for any delays, but "when you live in a country where it can snow in May", its unavoidable.

A clip from the Hard Rock Cafe in Gothenburg. They know how to treat their hometown talent right. In Gothenburg, trams run throughout the city. The name of a local celebrity is painted on the front of each one. Currently, there are no trams with Ace of Base written on the front. I'm still waiting for the city of Gothenburg to do what Hard Rock Cafe has already done - give their hometown talent some recognition! These records are prominently placed at the entrance to the restaurant just as you walk in the door.
