Göteborg in Spring + tips on how to know spring is here (in red)

This week i went to Göteborg (Gothenburg) for the Vitalis IT-healthcare conference. I was lucky to get to walk around this ancient town before leaving for Stockholm.
(my train was at 18:00)

Daniel Goude and I in front of the Svenska Mässan (Swedish Conference Center)
His a very interesting person~ he had a medical background, but now he's coding games for rehabilitation! IT & healthcare expertise in one!
Tips 1: look at people's attire. Not mine, hehe, but Daniel's
This is a statue of a man holding a fish in front of the Göteborg Art Gallery. Göteborg is a famous maritime city since a long time ago.

A view of Göteborg's busiest avenue, you can see the sea at the very far end. =)
Vasakyrkan. The church just out of a fairy tale.
Spring!! Pansies are planted to form the shape of a star in front of the church.
Tips 2: Spring is here when u see the thing that u haven't been seeing for months Flowers!!
Pansies!!!
Inside the church ~ the bygone era.

Tips 3: Just look at what they are doing. =)
Göteborg has two major canals running across it. This is one of them...
Tips 4: The banks started to get crowded.
Me at the river bank.
I learned from the locals... just lie down at the river bank and read a book.
2 frens chatting under the warm sun.This is the fish church! =) It's a building that looks like a church, but actually it's a fish market!
See? Inside the fish church. =)
Tips 5: People started to sit outside. =) One of the signs of spring.
Göteborg & its beauty
me in McD

And my McChicken...
(Er... i know i declared myself to be a vegetarian... but.. er.. u know, the burger is just 10kr..)The streets from the window in McD

Last tips of the day: When McD started to put Tulips on their tables...
