The weather was beautiful&#8212;the way it&#8217;s supposed to be in the fall. Nothing extraordinary happened, but I had a really good time.</p> <p>I tried out sushi for the first time (not entirely correct since I had some sushi in <a href="http://andthennothing.net/archives/2005/04/17/my-trip-to-israel">Jerusalem a few months ago</a>, but it wasn&#8217;t a whole meal). The miso soup was so-so, but most of the sushi was quite tasty. However, after a while the pieces felt a bit large and got less tasty. I guess sushi is something you have to learn to really appreciate.</p> <p>I also went to the <a href="http://www.konstmuseum.goteborg.se/">G&ouml;teborg Museum of Art</a>. I normally don&#8217;t go to museums since I&#8217;ve found them quite boring in the past to be honest. But I actually had a good time. Most of the portraits were still boring, but most of the contemporary stuff (primarily the <a href="http://www.biennal.goteborg.se/">G&ouml;teborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art</a> exhibition) and some of the old paintings (the Marie &#38; P.S. Kr&oslash;yer exhibition among others) were quite fascinating. I&#8217;d like to be allowed to photograph inside the museum and I think they should have more painters painting live, though.</p> <p>Btw. apple peelers/lathes are super fun!</p>
