Gothenburg Day 3

This is the second of the reports from Sweden, and its much like the first.

Lots of bits of rock, a very short city ( I walked the entire height and back in just over an hour ) and almost nothing to get excited about.

It is not an understatement to say that gothenburg is a city of little value to a single guy in his early 30's.

I will not be coming back unless forced to by some legal reason or other.

Did I forget to mention the McDonalds, it is easy to do that. Tasteless BigMac where it was impossible to tell where the soft bun finished and the soft undercooked burger began.

The fries were nothing to mention about either and as for the strawberry milkshake, well just forget it.

The one thing they almost had on their side was a choice of hot apple or strawberry pies, but this was cancelled out by their terrible flavour and colour of the strawberry pie. A yucky yellow inner of an almost strawberry cream made it unfinishable - but a fitting tribute to this scandinavian town.

There are no good viking museums in this town, some of them close sunday and some close monday, so its not possible to see them all in one day over the weekend.

The nightlife ... well Friday was full of the mcdonalds footbaling crowd, I didnt go out saturday night, but sunday was a complete no show. If Monday night does not support something amazing then this town may as well be removed off the map as far as i am concerned.

The more i see of this place, the more i dislike it. Much like other places I have been, it might be a nicer place to visit with friends / lovers, but for a single guy & forget it.

I also fooled myself again by going to watch Fast & Furious - Toyko Drift. It was the only other film I was even half interested in watching, and I forgot that these days almost every film with foreign actors is done in the foreign language. Most of the film was in english, and fully watchable but the one very important scene with the head bad guy and his yakuza uncle was total nonsensicle - until you see the repercussions a few minutes later.

In the hotel I watched "V for Vendetta" - and I found it a hugely watchable film. Despite the fact that I kept missing the very first few minutes, it was a film I managed to watch most of about three times and I am sure that the book must be even more powerful still.

Briefly bumped into Emma again in the main town centre, which just goes to show how incredibly small it really is, and she had turned her phone off for the trip. So much for "Get in touch if you want to meet up" - gee, sometimes I can really HATE women !
