Gothenburg

Gothenburg was a pleasant surprise - nice pedestrianised streets and cool architecture, topped off by a huge shopping centre bustling with culture - there were three big things going on inside the shopping centre:

1. An exhibition of the 'Rites of Life' project, chronicling rites of passage across world cultures..the photography was top notch, and there were short descriptions of the context for the photos in each section...really intersting and moving stuff.

Check out the website: http://www.ritesoflife.com/

2. Some kind of food competition - people making all kinds of shapes - animels, cars, animals in cars....no, there were alot more...out of all kinds of stuff...and bread made into things like mooseheads...

3. The Gothenburg Wind Orchestra playing a lunchtime recital of lots of cool stuff..
