  As an Estonian,  my first thought was, "why have I not heard of this city before?" But when i saw the map, I realised that we call this city Göteborg.

  Your comment about the cinnamon bun feeding a whole family - or one American - was just perfect😄

  Dane here... currently living 1.5 hours north of Gothenburg/Göteborg, and yes, it is very nice! 😄 <br> <br>Yes, people do live on the islands, and some of them definitely need a boat of their own. There are several islands around here where there are only one or two houses — and that&apos;s it. So for those people, a boat is probably more important than a car. 😄 <br> <br>PS. As a Dane, I am still stunned and amazed by the nature here every single day, even after living here for more than a year. <br> <br>But the beer sucks... haha! 😄

  That street in Haga is not laid with brick but with 4-by-4-by-4-inch granite cubes, quarried in the area. And the &apos;naked guy with fish&apos; outside the museum of art is Poseidon, the Greek sea god that the Romans called Neptune (well, Neptunus). When I went to art college in Göteborg we did life drawing with the same model who was used for that statue, and one day I met him in town and had the opportunity to say, quite truthfully, &quot;Oh, I didn&apos;t recognize you with clothes on&quot;🙂

  Welcome to Göteborg or Gothenburg Tyler! Göteborg is the only city in Sweden who has an English name too. 💙💛
