Gothenburg

Took a 3h SJ train ride from Stockholm to Gothenburg(Swedish is Göteborg) to visit the Chalmers pp



Gothenburg is 2nd largest city in Sweden after Stockholm and was once the center of the Swedish ship-building industry. But to me, it's more like a quiet suburb now.



Peaceful Anti-abortion street exhibitions. The Gothenburg Riots in 2001 must have rocked the quiet town.



Flags displaying Gothenburg's coat-of-arms are everywhere



The statue of Poseidon->a frequently used symbol for the city.



Liseberg-largest amusement park in Scandinavia
Seems like the only thing to do in this city. Still, it livens up the whole city.
Singapore?



Stars like Elton John & Tina Turner performed here



Aerial view of the amusement park from the revolving tower



This is the scariest ride in the park, with its 70degree drop and inversions. The freaking fast speed is probably the reason for its name 'Balder'.
Han & I conned ourselves to try most of the rides by buying the unlimited ride pass.



Scared out of my wits. Don't understand why the kid behind me is looking like he does this everyday.
Whoever is feeling suicidal should go do roller-coaster rides b4 jumping from HDB flats or onto MRT railway tracks



Absolutely fantastic hosts! The 3 girls kindly gave us one whole room to sleep in. Kudos to them for making Shephard's pie and Jet for making omelette, Salmon & Kiwi-Icecream dessert!!



Interesting signs on the road



HDB estates look-alike



Göteborg Botanical Garden-supposedly to be one of the outstanding botanical gardens in Europe



Giant garden vegetables









Haga->restored working class quarters in the past; similar to our Gamla Stan in Stockholm



Skansen crown->defence fort agst Denmark which was never used in the end



View of Gothenburg from the fort hill



Fish Church->Fish mkt in a church-like building. Reportedly to serve delicious seafood broth. Too bad was closed on Sunday.



Is this graffiti?



How they change advertisements in Stockholm's subway
