Stuff that have happened

Hello everyone! Soon our time in USA will end and we will go back to Sweden after almost a year abroad! Time flies so fast it's crazy!

Since I haven't posted something for a while, I was thinking to use this as a random post with some random photos. Things that have happened at the stay in San Diego.

Oh, my Uncle Tommy also visited for a week all the way from Germany, his current residence. It was a fun time for me since Cathy have been back in China for 2 weeks for a wedding. I got some time to be a real tourist (after work of course :p) and see San Diego and it's beautiful surroundings.

In March? or Maybe February? Whatever, our work + the Swedish consulate + some friends went to Los Angeles to watch, guess who? The Swedish artists "Timbuktu", "Adam Tensta", LoopTroop Rockers with Promeo" play live in west Hollywood! It was an amazing weekend and the most crazy for a long time! We ended up in an exclusive after party in Santa Monica with all of the artists. The next day, we were at a BBQ party at a stuntmans home (both him and his girlfriend can be seen in LOST), with some cage fighter, one of the American Gladiator girls (Pheonix), a great musician and some other people. And the weekend just continued... Very fun!

We have also been hiking outside San Diego. It was a very sunny day and we hiked in almost desert! It was a beautiful view and in the bottom of the valley were an amazing waterfall, well worth the trip down! However the trip up from the bottom of the valley was another thing, I realized how untrained I was and that I really need to attend a gym...... in the future.....

Hmm.... what more have happened...

Oh yea, when Cathy was back for a few weeks, we went to visit her friend who lives in downtown LA. A very great location to live... maybe? whatever, it was at least great for a weekend :) we didn't do too much tourist stuff, mostly hang out. oh and in the evening, we went to see Robin Hood.. which was an OK movie, nothing more, nothing less... however not worth the money... But the most amazing thing happened. We were walking around staples center and the Nokia theater in downtown LA, when suddenly a woman appeared and offered us 4 free tickets (we were 4 people :p) to Ricky Gervais show that were just going to start in the Nokia theater, which happened to end just in time for our Robin Hood movie :) Only in LA... Only in LA!

I will end it here for now... but there is more to come!

Long time no see!

Hello everyone! I know, I know, I've been a bad boy and haven't updated this blog forever... I lasted longer than I thought tough :p whatever, I just wanted to let you all know that I'm still alive, doing fine in San Diego, I haven't forgot about blogging and I will jump start this blog again! Check back soon and you will find more new amazing stories of ME! Wohoooo!

Halloween!

Hello everyone! Long time no see!

Yesterday, the 31^st of October, America celebrated their famous Halloween. This was the first time that both I and Cathy have experienced a real Halloween. The Swedish version is not even close to the American, unfortunately, because it was a very fun experience. I think it would be even more amazing to be a child and celebrate Halloween, I saw very many children running around with costumes such as Spiderman and Batman, etc, with a BIG smile on their faces.

We already carved a pumpkin at Michelle’s thanksgiving, which was very fun. Now it was time to take Halloween to the next step, and how do we do that? That’s right, by going to a Halloween party!!!

But before the party could begin, we needed a Halloween costume! Earlier this week, we went around different stores looking for the perfects costume, which doesn’t include a pink bunny for me whatever Cathy says!

So now we had our costumes, can you recognize us? I dressed as the scariest thing I could think of! Which proved to be the scariest costume out there!

We went to a Halloween party at a student house not far from our home, were many of the exchange students, but also some Canadians, about 40 in total I think. It was quite fun to see everyone dressed up as the craziest things you can imagine… Here is a first look of the entrance at the party.

We fast figured out what Halloween is all about, POSE!! Pose, pose and pose, a little more pose, and pose! Drink some, and pose again :p It’s hard to describe the experience, but you can see some photos and judge for yourself, haha, fun was it…

Strangely enough, there were many men dressed as females, even more odd is that all of them came from Europe... hmm… did I miss a memo or something? :p

Later it was time going out in town, and guess what, ALL people is wearing a costume, even the police (if you know what I mean). It was quite amazing to see, and extremely funny!

All of us went to Dean Martini’s, a night club in downtown Windsor that we have been at before. I quite like that place for two reasons. 1, Both me and Cathy always seems to get in for free, every time. 2, they are dirt cheap at the bar. So why not? :D

Same thing in Dean Martini’s, people dressed as the weirdest things they could come up with….

The exchange students, FTW!

So that was the Halloween night, I really think we should import this tradition to Sweden, hey we import everything else right?

So until next time we have something to share… take care!
