"Den Siste Mohikanen" with Lars Vegas Trio

Two thoughts about the ongoing “Göteborgskalaset“ -the yearly town festival here in Gothenburg, ten days in August every year.

1. People will gladly queue for 1,5 hours to buy a Hungarian Langos for 50SEK – a piece of deeply fried bread with some sour cream on top (and if you want to pay an extra 20SEK you can make it “West Coast” and ad six small prawns), and it is simultaneously the only type of food that’s worth more points at the Weight Watchers than a pizza...
   Nobody seems to know (or just care about) that the exactly same type of food can be bought on the exactly same spot all year – but at half the prize (well, you might not be able to by it “West Coast”) and without any queue at all…
2. During “Göteborgskalaset” you are more likely to meet an indian (not a person from the country India, but a native American…or at least a war-painted guy with a lot of feathers on their head) playing a pan-pipe on Avenyn, than to meet an actual Gothenburger…

By the way…my god…Gothenburger is actually the correct English word for göteborgare according to “Norstedts Stora Sve-Eng Ordbok”.

Tomorrow’s a new day and a new song.
