With the lights, the wall coverings, and the highly polished black  floor, the stevedores who once worked in this converted docklands warehouse would have had trouble recognizing the place.

During our two weeks, the sun was out most of the time. It was difficult to adjust your sleeping to the daylight.

What a nice treat and surprise. It didn't even cost us any money. It was considered a cultural event and was paid for by the Swedish government. There was no seating, but we were able to stand close to the stage."
