Att Liseberg ar Sveriges mest besokta enskilda attraktion bleknar nar Stockholm har fler internationella turister.

Varfor struntar du oftast i att bemota argument och fragor, utan gar bara vidare hela tiden? Det ar som att du inte ar det minsta intresserad av att diskutera, utan forsoker bara glida undan och hitta andra saker att anvanda, aven om det innebar att du maste hitta pa saker, ljuga och helt strunta i att reflektera over vad det ar du egentligen skriver.

Men har vi kommit overens om att Stockholm ar mer kant an Goteborg runt om i varlden nu, aven om Goteborg inte ar helt okant?
