We stayed at Hotel G (First Hotel) which is on top of Central Station. Kopi led us on a walking tour of the city and pointed out the “Lipstick” as a landmark. He left us at a market near the canal. We skipped the boat tour and walked about after having lunch. I had my first fish soup here. The cashier gave Ngoan 5 kronor to use the restroom. We cheated the system by using the coin for the three of us. The light didn’t stay on, however. We walked to the Gothenburg Opera House and visited a cruise ship that had turned into a hotel. We had to cross the canal on a bridge to go back to our hotel. It was still early. We had ice cream outside Central Station while listening to street music. Dinner was in the hotel dining room. The salmon with pesto was good, but dessert was not so great. After dinner, Ngoan and I walked with another couple to the mall across the street via the tunnel, but everything had closed down. We didn’t want to be out on empty streets, so we returned to the hotel. On the way back, we saw many beautiful hotels with fancy decorating rooms. The many hotels around the central station confirmed what Kopi told us: Conferences are usually held here instead of in Stockholm to reduce costs.
