20. April, 2008Easter candy from China![]() I brought some candy for everyone, according to the western Eastern tradition of filling up Easter eggs with candy. Jeg hadde med godterier for alle, i tråd med tradisjonen med å fylle opp påskeegg for liten (og stor).

Despite his desire for power and world domination, he never succeeded internationally. This book, that tells the true story about him however, followed me through a number of countries such as Cambodia, Russia, Norway, etc – so finally he conquered new parts of the world. Thanks to Tor Anders that gave me this book, however although it gives the whole “truth” or as close it gets, it was a little too detailed to make it a recommended reading. Mange ting kan sies om Mao, og mesteparten er ikke posititv. Til tross for hans higen etter makt og verdens doinanse lyktes han aldri internasjonalt. Denne boka, som forteller den sanne historien om han, fulgte meg gjennom en rekke land deriblant Kambodia, Russland og Norge, så til slutt kan man jo si at han erobret deler av verden. Takk til Tor Anders som ga meg denne boka, selv om den gir hele ”sannheten” eller så nærme som det går, så var den kanskje litt for detaljert, for andre enn spesielt interesserte.

Evind Hagen, tilbake til Norge etter flere år i Kina, omsider kan han drive med sin hobby fluefisking. Og med det kommer forberedelser, som her hvor han binder fluer/kroker, som ligner det fisken spiser neste gang han er ute å fisker.

Iskald ø log 40 grader I vannet gjør godt på en fest på en kald vinterdag. Uvurderlig.

We figured out we couldn’t be weaker than them, only our problem was that the snow had a layer of ice on top, well we decided to get to the bottom of the matter by using a showel for our “snow bath”. Vi har hørt rykter om finner som elsker å rule rundt I snøen etter å ha sittet i bastu en stund. Vi fant ut at vi ikke kunne være noe dårligere etter å ha sittet i badestampen, det eneste problemet var at oppå snøen lå ett ishardt lag med skare, vel vi bestemte å komme til buns i materien ved hjelp av en spade, og vips var vårt snøbad klart.

Now the competition “Birkebeineren” was just arranged here recently, so tracks were prepared for the thousands that participated. My oldest brother included, once again winning the “medal of honor”. Langrenn er en populær rekreasjonsaktivitet I Norge, men vi har ikke mange steder med så mange skisport side om side som her. Nå var imidtertid ”Birkebeiner rennet” nettopp arrangert her, så løypene var forberedt de tusner som deltok. Deriblant min eldste bror som nok en gang tok ”Birkebeinermerket.” Written by Shanghaiet @ 06:04. 0 comment(s) Barbequing hot dogs![]() Skiing in the spring in Norway, when the temperature is quite comfortable, often goes hand in hand with some sun tanning, and heating some hot dogs on the fire. Og vi griller pølser, nam hvor gode Prior Kalkunpølser er (dette er ikke reklame, jeg skriver om ting som har hendt meg). Written by Shanghaiet @ 06:00. 0 comment(s) Previous Page |
