The super DUO in the battle field

They seem innocent but veil their most devious feel of supremacy underneath.

Many have fought them, or to be more precise, fought for them.

Little do they know, one out of 50 accomplishes the mission.

There are two warriors I know in person, good friends of mine.

One is named Romain and the other called Samy.

Hundreds of slaps in the face, painful rejections have occurred... but they have never given up their hopes.

They believe the more you try the more chances there will be.

Romain in the mid, Samy at right

Swedish girls are hard, fierce, and unpredictable.

Last night, another tragedy took place.
Samy tried having a picture with a Swede but Norbert accidentally broke the camera of the girl.
But Norbert walked away and disappeared so Samy had to deal with the Swedish girl and some of her unreasonable guy friends.
So finally he almost got beat up by the guys thankfully that the security guard stood out and resolved it. But Samy got a punch from behind out of nowhere from a swedish guy.

Careful my friends... It's a battlefield we are talking about here!

few comments on sex equity in Sweden

The whole world knows that Scandinavia is probably one of the most libral states on earth, especially when talking about sex equity.

They make too big a deal out of it, in my opinion.

couple of months ago I posted a news about the feminists proposing going topless in swimming pools. Well, as a guy, there isn't that much to lose in that situation although I just suppose they have too much free time on their hands.

Today, again a issue that no one would ever give a rat's ass is that they are turning all the underwears in the Swedish hospitals into unisex forms.

So I got to question... Is that really necessary?

Linköping Adventure


How big do you think the 5th largest city in Sweden would be?

If I tell you that I only know one guy from there, and I only stopped by in town for lunch, And I ran into him. Would you believe me?

So yeah, that's what happened. 4 other friends and I wanted to see how Linköping was like so dropped by for 2 hours.
And after 30 minutes in town, we walked out of the "famous" cathedral and started reorienting ourselves to downtown.
Suddenly, I saw Jowan walking down the street so I told my friends that I knew this guy. They made fun of me because they had the attitude that says "Yeah Right! You know everyone!" So I started calling Jowan! Jowan! But he didn't hear me so I went up to tap on his shoulder. And he turned around and looked surprised and greeted me.
And my friends were standing there with their jaws dropped.

Funny bicycle meter story
And we saw this meter that tells you how many people in town rides a bike per day and how many per year so we decided to take a picture of it. Then a guy biking by stopped and looked really serious at us. He told us that it was not very polite to take a picture of someone who doesn't want his picture taken... So we told him that it was for the meter... not for him (like how much we would want his picture)

The difference between the nationalities when asking a question

I have picked up a habit of saying NO? when I finish a question. I have figured out where it came from.
Generally, the Latin speaking people like to add that at the end of a question. Manu, Gemma from Barcelona in my corridor always add that. And also my French, Swiss French friends always do that. But you don't find it so common in the Germanic languages. I know at least in English, people say more often RIGHT? at the end. Well, some others say Isn't IT? too but that doesn't really count.

I don't know if that has something to do with the attitude or the confidence in one's self or what. But it is certainly an interesting thing when you talk to a different national next time

a Bit of memory from Portugal

Now I just realized why I really liked Portugal and said the people are friendlier than Spaniards. This traces back to the time when I was in Porto.

I walked into a very tiny grocery store on the streets and the owner was on the phone crunching on some chips. So I walked around and found what I wanted and went to pay.

Then he dropped the phone and calculated how much I had to pay. And then he said something that amazed me:
"Oh, I am being really rude, I should've have asked you if you wanted some chips! Would you like some?"

So I was looking at him thinking to myself," Are you serious? that's your bag of chips and you can do whatever the hell with those! How can people be so nice here?"

It was not very big of a deal to say things like this but he said it! It certainly higher my impression on the Portuguese.

Desert of the Day- Semla

Swedish- Semla or Semlor in pluralThis desert is popular in this time of year and is usually enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee. It's basically a bun sandwiching fresh cream and almond paste. It's usually not very sweet unless you have a big bite of the almond paste when eating. I have had two of these for lunch one time because they are so delicious!

Man of the Day- Daniel Wickström

Only the word ENERGY can describe this guy. He doesn't know the word tired unless he is sick. He's the guy who never stops running, playing European football, gets tired of the things he enjoys.
Also a very sincere friend you can ever ask for.
This guy is going to be math teacher but still acts like a child. He owns a PS2 and plays soccer games and karaoke games. I guess these facts are not as interesting as what he's told me today.
"I hope I will get the candy factory job in Midsummer and work on the Red day(one day after the Midsummer's day)"
"Why would you wanna do that? You should just go out and party because it's midsummer!" I replied in confusion.
"You know you get twice the money if you work on the Red day?"
"Oh really?"
"And the best thing is that you don't have to work!!!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Because you can put your shift through the candy company on the Red day when you get twice as much"
"ok so?"
"Then the factory is actually not open on that day! so even if you want to go into the factory you can't!"
"So you will just be sitting home and drinking beer while getting paid twice?"
"Yup! and it's 150 SEK per hour and I will sign up for a 10 hour shift or something!"
"Oh wow," I think to myself, "This country is full of opportunities for people to get real lazy but amazingly enough they still maintain it so far so good!"
