Recipe for disaster

Vodka, lemonade, chicks (ohh, i meant chips) - could prove a dangerous combination when you party from dark to dawn.

Budget transportation

Not all transportation was comfortable. Normally 4 people fit well, but when it's a pirate taxi with a co-pilot, and some crappy small east block car...

Gone travelling

If you read this the two weeks in the middle of July, I’m probably travelling on a road trip through Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine. Luckily we are not using this small car on the trip, but this is nothing less than my dear acquisition; a hybrid “Fiat Punto 188 Natural Power (2005)”. It runs on natural gas from the north sea, bio gass, as well as with a full size petrol tank. Here from refilling at Flotmyra, Haugesund.

Om du leser bloggen i midten av juli, så reiser jeg trolig på en biltur gjennom Latvia, Litauen, Hviterussland, og Ukraina. Heldigvis ikke med denne lille bilen, men dette er intet mindre enn min kjære nyanskaffelse: en hybrid “Fiat Punto 188 Natural Power (2005)”. Den kan kjøre på naturgass fra nordsjøen / biogass (begge metan), i tilleg til en fullstørrelse bensintank. Her et bilde fra pumpen på Flotmyra, Haugesund.

Do as Oslo Ess!

Come to Haugesund, and enjoy some of the numerous festivals and concerts in the area. You can see the vocal is pretty enthusiastic about it all when he performed at the song and lyrics festival in May.

Kom til Haugesund, og nyt noen av de utallige festivalene og konsertene i området. Her kan du se vokalisten i rockebandet Oslo Ess, han ser jo ganske entusiastisk ut under Vise og Lyrikk festivalen i mai.

Big spender in Istanbul

Finally, with some money between my hands, I decided to spend it all shopping in Istanbul!

Endelig, med litt penger mellom hendene bestemte jeg meg for å bruke alt på shopping i Istanbul!

Once Shanghaiet, always Shanghaiet?

Late April I visited Shanghai again, baffled by the fact that I once lived there (and not anymore). There’s advantages and disadvantages of every place, and even my stay was not quite a success story, in Shanghai even buildings turn to gold(!) – like here at the new Jing An temple that has sprung up right in front of my old desk for Beta Shipping. On the picture my good friend, and thanks for XiaoMei taking the photo (and not so much thanks for deleting all photos of herself!).

I slutten av april besøkte jeg nok en gang Shanghai, målløs over at jeg en gang bodde i den travle millionbyen (og at jeg ikke gjør det lengere). Det er fordeler og ulemper med alle steder, og selv om mitt opphold ikke akkurat ble til gull, så springer nye bygninger av gull rakt ut av bakken – som her rett foran den gamle pulten min hvor jeg trakk i trådene til Beta Shipping. Takk til XiaoMei som tok bildet (og ikke fullt så mye takk for at hun slettet alle bildene av seg selv).
