ouch

I'm considering the possibilities of getting a pacemaker. Do they come with a warranty? I mean, the heart can malfunction but I don't have to deal with someone breaking it again.

Next stop, Ghana

So my job means that I get to travel a whole lot, and my next trip will be to Ghana. I have no idea of how Ghana will be but I have a feeling that it will be very nice. When I went to Sudan a couple of months ago my expectations were very low and I was this close to bringing a helmet and a gun, just in case.. But Sudan turned out to be pretty damn amazing. Even though it's a poor country as far as their infrastructure for example, I don't think I've met more care taking and open hearted people than that before. The last day of my visit to Sudan me and Mutwakil - my Sudanese friend - were on our way to the big market in Khartoum. While driving there Mutwakil called a friend that had a store on the market. Apparently his friend had just closed the shop for the day and was on his way home. But Mutwakil called him and said that there is a friend that wants to have a look at your shop the guy went back and opened it up. So we got there and we chatted and drank some coffee together. When the coffee cup was empty and the conversations had ended we got up and started walking towards the car. All of a sudden two police men came up to me. they said something in Arabic and I thought they were going to arrest me (logical thinking) so I just walked away while Mutwakil talked to them. It turned out that they only wanted to say hello and that they thought it was so cool that this blond haired guy was walking in the market place of Khartoum, Sudan. I felt pretty stupied.

Anyway, when I left Sudan it had made a big impact on me and I've got the feeling that Ghana will do the same.

Frustration

I'm so angry and frustrated right now. The hockey team I'm rooting for in the Swedish Elite League, Frölunda Indians, just lost their 2nd game in a row. Against the same opponent. HV71, from Jönköping - the bible belt in Sweden - won 4-2 tonight. Not only is this a defeat against one of our biggest rivals but it's also the first time in almost 2 years that Frölunda loose 2 games in a row. Double the anger and frustration. The icing on the cake: it was on home ice..

See the world

Whenever you are travelling somewhere, no matter where it is, you will most likely be able to find some great photos of that place here. It's a great way to get to know the country or city you're visiting. I've found it very useful when I'm travelling to all the odd places around the globe.

Time out

There's nothing else describing peace of mind better than sitting on the toilet, doing your business and reading a magazine/paper or playing a game on the cellphone. However, this only works on your own toilet. It's the exact opposite if you're in a public restroom.. I wonder what that says about me as a person? Or maybe I'm being to analytic about this, I think it's time to go to bed.

Football Manager

If you haven't heard of it already, Football Manager 2006 from Sports Interactive is the best manager game out there. I'm spending too much time playing this at the moment. It has a huge database with all the players and clubs from god knows how many leagues. Right now I'm managing IFK Göteborg, number 3 in the standings with my expert manager skills.

It starts

So here I am. A bit hungover and having the urge to express myself online. The only thing worse must be, being drunk and feeling the urge to express myself online.

Anyway, this is my first blogg ever and I'm quite excited about how it will turn out. I have no idea if it will become a habbit of mine or not. But I'll give it a try.
