November 1: Göteborg

Woke up at about 11 to have a real Swedish breakfast of boiled egg, museli and yoghurt, bread (3 kinds) and a weird fish paste made from caviar and potato flakes that came in a tube like toothpaste. It was interesting but not particularly tasty. You put some on your boiled egg and eat it like that. Andreas seemed to like it but I think he is used to it and I am not, and it kind of tastes like the smell of old people, oh well.

After that we went for a walk around Göteborg near the docks area and the opera house and then we found a chocolate shop! Well, technically it was a chocolate factory because they made their own stuff. I got a swedish snowball - like the snowballs you get in Australia (marshmallow covered in chocolate and coconut) only the marshmallow you get here is creamier and the swedish word for it is (I am not kidding) "fluff-fluff". Then we went to the Feshekorka (fish church) which is a church converted into a seafood market! There were some dying lobsters and fish there which seemed rather distressing for Harry. :(

That night we made Swedish meatballs at Andreas' and boiled potatoes and green beans. The meatballs were surprisingly easy- mincemeat, salt and pepper, breadcrumbs and onions and you fry them in butter and serve them with cream sauce and this loganberry (I think?) jelly. Yum. Then we hung out and watched the Simpsons, the Skins, CSI, Leno and some weird show at like 2am until Harry and I gave up trying to figure out the words and went to bed.
