A few days in the big city

We spent 5 days in Göteborg or City of Gothenburg which is the official English name. It was a very cold week, with -7 one morning. Even though we have winter clothes we weren't prepared when it came to the shoe department - next on the list: get a pair of winter shoes each! Luckily Noah had 2 big bags full of clothing and winter shoes waiting for him when we first got to Sweden, all handed down by a dear friend of mine, so he stays warm at all times.

The days in Göteborg turned out to be very fruit full for Shawn has he got through a pair of interviews at a big gym chain in the city, got shown around by the owners of a brand new studio soon to open as well as an offer to do a practicum at a friend's naprapat clinic. He'll get around to write about it soon..but pretty much it means that Shawn will be moving to Göteborg on his own in early January! Noah and I will move to the city when I get a job.

It was lovely to spend some time with Annelie & Tony, especially since we got to celebrate Annelie's 30th birthday together. We also managed to catch up with Susanne & Janne (the naprapat) whom also are friends with Frida & Fred in Australia - small world!

One night we paid Liseberg's Christmas market a visit. Every year during the month of December, Liseberg, Göteborg's themepark, hosts Sweden's biggest x-market. Most of the rides are open too and Noah got to try out four of them. But after a couple of hours we had to head back to the apartment, all due to the cold weather or maybe more correctly; due to our poor choice of clothing :-).

Back in Lundsbrunn, we are now starting to prep the food for Christmas, and I'm back in the virtual world keeping an eye out for jobs!
