I spent most of the time in Scandinavia at the second half of 2006. After the Stadium's project implementation, I was assigned to my 2nd project (Gilde@Norway), where I developed some modules in Göteborg. And, I had my 3rd project (Lindex) startup meeting held in Göteborg as well. Then, I met the real snow at the first time in my life. Just before I returned home (at the mid of Dec 2006), I enjoyed my first ever Christmas dinner & party in Sweden. :)
（在2006年下半年，我花了大部分时间生活在北欧。我在哥德堡编写我的第二项目（ Gilde @挪威）系统组件。然后，也在哥德堡举行我的第三项目（ Lindex ）会议。就在那时，我遇到了我人生中第一次的雪景。回去马来西亚之前，在十二月中，我参加了人生第一个在瑞典的圣诞晚宴。还有，这里的“月亮比较圆较大”哦！）

Spot#1（焦点一）:City view snapshots（市景快照）
This time, due to no rooms are available in Scandic Europa hotel, I lived in Scandic Rubinen hotel, which is located in most popular attraction in Göteborg--Kungsportsavenyn (commonly known as Avenyn, "The Avenue").
（这一次，由于瑞仕格在哥德堡的短期住宿旅馆客房以满，我便住在一间设在哥德堡最具吸引力的旅游地点--通常被称为Avenyn 的“星光大道”。）
Note: Scandic Rubinen hotel has a quite nice Latin cuisine bar (Ruby Nuevo Latino Bar). I lived in 2 different rooms there, which are No:339(Boxton Red Sox) & No:441(Stinging Jellyfish) :p
（这家旅馆拥有一个相当不错拉丁风味酒吧，而我就住过编号三三九和四四一的房间）
Note: One of the attractions in Kungsportsavenyn is there is variety of cuisine restaurants (besides the bars and nightclubs) along the Avenyn-Vasagatan street. It has Spanish, Italian, Swedish, English, American, Latin, Indian and many other cuisines, and the food is not bad either! Below is a interior view of Lilla ("Little") London restaurant.
（这里除了酒吧和夜总会外，也有各种各样的美食餐厅，从东方的亚洲餐厅到西方的拉丁美洲餐厅都应有尽有。以下是里拉（“小”）伦敦餐厅内部）

Note: Mr. Choy Wei Luen (a project engineer from Swisslog Malaysia too). He also lived in Scandic Rubinen hotel due to another project (He lived there for a total of 3 months, wow a longer stay compared to me). Anyway, I am very pleased that we had some great time together. (That was my first time in oversea where I had a companion at the weekends :))
（他也是来自马来西亚的同事。他也在住在同一间酒店（还住了三个月呢！）。虽然我们各自负责不同的项目，不过我很高兴的有这位同伴在哥德堡）
Note:and Not all the crows are black feathers（在那里，并非所有的乌鸦都有全黑色羽毛。“天下乌鸦一样黑”是不正确的，不过，“外国月亮比较圆”较大，就是真的（北欧对大马，哈哈）。）

Spot#5（焦点五）:The Christmas Dinner...（圣诞晚宴）
Note:Swisslog Sweden organised an annual Christmas dinner on mid of December. That day, I was onsite in Gilde,Norway with Mr.Johan Stefors. So, we left the site in the afternoon, took an hour train and then followed by two hours flight back to Göteborg.
Then, I check in into hotel, took shower and attended the dinner. Luckily the dinner just started when I arrived the venue. After the dinner, my next flight return to Malaysia was on next day morning at 7AM... Phew! what a rush journey.
（在十二月中旬，瑞仕格瑞典举办了年度圣诞晚宴。当天中午，我和另一位同事刚完成了第二个项目在挪威。然后，我们坐了一个小时火车，接着乘搭两小时飞机到达哥德堡。我还要登记入酒店，沐浴，才出席了晚宴。晚宴后的第二天早上七时，我就乘搭飞机回马来西亚了。啊！多么匆忙的旅程。。。）
