In a big big Borås...

17.37 Borås - Sverige

Boa noite (it is dark outside),

Saturday - me, Evelina, Maria and her baby Zara were on a "cultural" tour in Sweden. We went around Borås to enjoy... ;)  .... all the art around Borås.

This is Pinocchio, it is a 9.5 meter high statue that Borås has had an internal fight over. The statue was introduced in Borås last year after a big argument, because some people thought that the statue wasn't a nice signature for Borås. I mean people from Borås are not made of wood and they don't have "long" noses...

Now, the Pinocchio statue is famous in Sweden and has become a tourist attraction here in Borås!

The picture above is of me and Evelina standing in front of Borås beautiful, but polluted river, Viskan, in the center of Borås. Here, in this river, especially in the center of Borås you can find a lot of things. It is very common to find beer cans, empty plastic bags, bicycles and shopping carts in the river.

There is even a man that was in the newspaper because he made a lot of money finding bicycles in that river that he pimped up and then sold. But still I don't know what they have done to that river to make it produce bicycles...

Evelina, Maria and her baby Zara.

In the background of this picture, you can see the bus square - it is very busy there..... rsrs

As Sweden is a cold country, we have our swimming pools inside. This is the building where we go for a swim... Notice that this is still the dirty river, Viskan, in front of the building and as it is dirty and a lot of bicycles in there people usually don't swim in river (only in the pools inside of the buildings). But there are some crazy people - I wont mention any names... hmmm.. ok then... me ;) - that do crazy things just to be a part of a strange group at high school - so I took a dirty swim in there once - rsrs

This is a Swedish bus - everyone have their own seat - haha

Soooo nice!!!

This is beautiful Borås and in the background you can see the clock tower of the church that my brother was baptist in today.

Eve - always crazy!!!!!

To spend saturday night at home is typical Swedish - so that was exactly what we did me, Eve and Maria. To make the night even more special we decided to make a three-courses meal. And as we are sooo traditional we just had to watch scary movies. Actually, a ghost came to visit us later and scared the crap out of me and Eve.

On the picture to the right: Maria with her baby (that slept to her first scary movie yesterday night) and Evelina. On the plates we have our starters that we made up by ourselves. It is  tomato filled with fried zucchini, spenat and mozzarella that we heated up in the oven - a very healthy tomato!!

To right: The scary movies we rented - the first one to the left was a girl with ugly clothes and some lesbian porn (we were laughing the most of the time - scary? - NOT). The middle one was very exciting and so was the third one but we havent finished it yet...

And as we are so good at cooking we made crepes for a main dish  filled with creme fraiche and seafood and then we had panncakes for desert... haha

We also made our own ice-cream (yoghurt) with mango and raspberry!

It was very good actually.... ;)

Now, I have to go to the gym but I see you later - até logo!
