Stayin' Cultured And Watchin' Hockey


Today we had our morning off so after a good rest from the previous night, we decided to check out the Museum of World Culture with our free time. The exhibits were great and we checked out all three of them: Kimono Fusion, Destination X, and Jordinglar Earthlings. Kimono Fusion was a Japanese themed exhibit and it covered different art/culture from traditional Japan to 'hypermodern'. We saw things like traditional Japanese warriors and dress styles to modern Japanese graffiti and clothing. I'm pretty sure I snagged like 100 pictures at that one alone and it was for sure my favorite exhibit. The next exhibit we visited was Destination X which was a theme on why people travel across the world, so they had something from just about everywhere on the globe.  The final exhibit we visited was called Jordinglar Earthlings which was kinda intended for children, but hey, gotta let that inner-child out sometimes. But they had this really cool blue light thing that was suppose to make you look like an alien, plus one of those crazy mirrors that make you look goofy and alien-like. I mean we were practically knocking toddlers over like it was our job to get there first and play around with everything...it got pretty wild at times.


After our morning out and about, we had a hockey game at 3 to catch. We watched the Frolunda Indians game, and they are a hockey club that is based in Gothenburg. First off, they started the game with a pretty crazy intro that was unbelievable. Like flames, lights, and even a little bit fireworks at times-basically the Indians know how to make an entrance. Our seats were kinda high up, but we actually had a great view of the game so that was nice. Plus the Indians won the game pretty handily 4-1 so it was really fun to watch with the rowdy crowd going nuts with their drum the whole game.
