Stupid people doing stuff they don't know how to do

In Norway we have this show with a guy doing stuff he don't know how to do...that being skijumping, stripping, theatres or whatever. Anyway, this guy does it for fun, and is obviously aware of the fact that he has no clue in what his doing.

But I find it more funny when people are under the impression that they got full control, and actually knows what they are doing. SO, I'll now start this little series on my own little blog called:

Stupid people doing stuff they don't know how to do


Number one in this series is this hillbilly who wants to start a little fire. Obviously, he has no clue whatsoever on how to handle gasoline and fire...

Soon Norway, then Boston

Got really nothing to report from other than thesis work these days, but felt like I had to update the blog anyway.

Well, the thesis is due in 9 days, and pretty much takes up all day now. But I've also started looking for an apartment in Boston! They say it can be hard to get a decent place in late August, so I plan on renting a place just by looking at photos and talking with the tenants...let's see how that works out:)

Alrigthy then! To give this post some interesting content, I'd like to recommend an album:


Manic Street Preachers' new album has only one flaw: it's too short! But the 38 minutes you do get by buying this record is totally worth the money! Check it out =)

And I'll throw in a pic from Funnyjunk.com.
See you soon!

BOSTON, BABY!!!

Oh yeah, you guessed it!! I MADE IT INTO EMERSON! In about 3 months I'm an american, eating hamburgers all day, always wearing a hat, saying "Howdee, par'dner!" and come riding in my truck! Oh wait...no that's true, I'm not going to be a Texas ranchboy...well anyway! :D

I'm going to have two smashing years in the land of oppertunities!!

Ah, good! They have cold days, too :)

I hear everybody knows my name here! Freaky!! O_o

Looks rather nice, ey? ;D

Not bad skyline! Not as spectacular as Shanghai, but more solid, in a way...

Cozy!!

My next home :)

Hey, looks a littlebit like Shanghai...a little :)

Now I just got to find a place to live =)

Some hectic days in China

Hi again, happy people! Starting to feel the stress of the diploma now! It is due to be finished Juna 4th, and we most definately need all the time we can get. I'm pretty sure we'll manage it, but it will require some long stressfull days first.

Alex and me played tennis on the roof of a building. Rent price: 16 kuai/hour

The weather in Shanghai is getting better and better, and sometimes to good! I wish it would stay in 20-22 degrees for a little longer, but it just kicked up to 28 degrees right away. Anyway, the weather is not in any way stimulating diplomawork inside...

The last days have been quite interesting though. Last Thursday evening Daggi and me headed to Beijing for an interview. We finally managed to book and interview with the Chinese Paper Association, with this very busy Chinese man. We rented an interpreter and got a quite nice interview =) It was only a 1-day-trip, but we managed to squeeze in some hours at the Beijing fake market;) They've got much more nice stuff there than in Shanghai (or at least different things). I mostly bought presents to take back home, though.

2007-05-13 17. mai feiring

This Sunday we celebrated the Norwegian National Day! It is originally on May 17th, but it is more convenient for people to spend a Sunday for such festivities =) Club Norway arrangede it, and did a magnificent job! They'd rented a hotel garden, and we were served barbeque food, cakes and tasty drinks. Later on there were games for the kids (and us big kids...), ending with a mini-concert by one of the DeLillos members.

In Fuxing Park

In real Norwegian spirit, we couldn't end the day like that. There were still more wine left, so we headed over to Fuxing Park for further festivities. I guess it's not that normal with western people sitting in a publig park drinking from a carton of wine, so we got our share of Chinese spectators. When it got dark we walked to GuanDii where they had the convenient "Drink-all-you-want" for 60 RMB. And for Norwegians, that basically means drink-all-you-CAN", and the night went thereafter :)

X-Games and Russian food

Been some days since the last update know. Ain't much happening besides school, ant it probably won't be untill we're finished here. Only some 35 days til I'm heading home now...feels sort of weird. Almost like I just got here, but now it's good'ol Norway again. I like Shanghai and China a lot, but I admit that I'm really looking forward to a couple of months in Norway.

2007-05-03 X-Games

This weekend the X-Games Asia-crew hit Shanghai! They'd set up a bunch of ramps in a stadium just near here, so we went there on the Thursday. Disappointingly few people were there, but we did catch some sweet action :) First we saw some cool motorcross-jumps, before we headed over to the BMX-competition. I had to leave after heat 2, so I didn't see the best ones. Underneath you can see a short movie I made of the movie clips I took =)


Beyond that has the weekend been quite nice. Friday started with a beer and a card game at Zan, and ended up with 4 hours at a karaokeplace, and a stolen basketball net from McDonalds ;)

Russian dinner

Yesterday we had a really nice dinner at Flying Elephant, a Russian restaurant. I had no idea about what russian food was before I went, but it turned out to be pretty damn good! The menu mostly consisted of northern European food like pork chops and beef. Felt like a Norwegian Sunday-dinner=) The prices were nice to, and I had a 4-course dinner for 120 kuai :)

The Russian-Chinese band. Okay music, but played to loud!!

I'd like to conclude with saying my congrats to my cousin, Magnus, who's having his confirmation today! Unfortunately I haven't got any pictures of the fella. Anyway, have a super-sweet day! =)
