Gothenburg

View across from Stryso to the next little island.

On the boat out to the islands.

Haven't been posting as (1) still haven't got around to buying that new Dell and (2), we've been away on holiday. We're just back from a short-ish trip to Gothenburg. Gothenburg is really worth visiting - it has a wonderful archipelago of islands, a beautiful old town centre and is home to the terrific funfair Liseberg (imagine Disneyland Paris without the hard-sell and the queues).

good to hear about your travels again - just back from a short trip myself, though not quite as exotic as yours.

室內設計由『整體美觀』及『實用耐用』為出發點。韓式隆鼻的第一個特色,在於鼻樑採用戈爾特賜顏面重建植入墊。內視鏡拉皮整形則是針對皺紋和下垂的肌肉所設計的手術。由於中風癱瘓或是行動不便需要別人看護照顧。你覺得瑜珈教室是一種難以入門的運動。外籍新娘選擇嫁到臺灣,多半以經濟為考慮。
