Monday 16 st of November 2009 and I was in for a very pleasant surprise when I arrived to Gothenburg International. After a terrible flight, yeah, I really mean a terrible flight. I had had a
hangover force 9,8 after 3 days of party in FUNKY TOWN. Yeah, reminds me of why I haven't been flying with a hangover
for several years now. But it was worth it, last weekend in FUNKY TOWN was a great one.And I was very lucky in FUNKY TOWN yesterday. I had a nice dinner with my Teacher Miss "Most beautiful girl in the world #1" and my Italian EX class mate at Chokchai Steakhouse on Soi 23. I had spent the whole day in bed watching Simpson and when I finally got out of bed at
18:30 to go to the ATM I spoke with my Teacher Miss "Most beautiful girl in the world #1".She asked if I wanted her to take me to the airport.
- I would love it. What a nice way to spend the last few hours in FUNKY TOWN.
We decided to meet at the Steakhouse at 19:30. My Italian EX class mate and his girlfriend was watching a movie and they would be ready around 7 o'clock.
Well, of course, this is Thailand and it was 8 before they all arrived. I had already had a soup
and some garlic bread when they arrived. When we were ready my Teacher Miss "Most beautiful girl in the world #1" drove me home so I could pick up my bag. I told her to take the toll way. But she suggested Sukhumvit Road.- OK, Great idea. I can spend an extra 20 minutes with you!!
We arrived to the airport just after 10 o'clock. We parked her car in the car park and we walked to the
check in. We left the check in and we walked towards the escalator. I wanted to go get a diet drink on the floor below the departure lounge. One of the guys came running after us when we were leaving for the escalator.- You have to go to the gate! The gate is very far away!
- What the
???!!!I have been here many times and gate E 02 should be about 10 minutes away, walking slowly. Well, I followed my Teacher to the walkover and then I returned to the Immigration. The time was well passed 10 o'clock and I didn't expect to meet Miss "Most beautiful girl in the world #2" at Nero Cafe. She uses to go home around 10 o'clock. But I pass Nero Cafe on my way to the gate. Well, with a slight detour. And I was in for a pleasant surprise, she stops work at 11.
Recession, low season and political unrest and the tourism industry should be dead. But the Nero Cafe was full so I didn't have any chance for a longer chat with Miss "Most beautiful girl in the world #2". But at least I had been very lucky to have my Teacher Miss "Most beautiful girl in the world #1" taking me to the airport. Arriving to Gothenburg Airport 10 minutes late and I called my friend the birthday boy. I have
tried to call him several days but no reply. I have tried to call J as well, same result, no reply. So I was surprised when J answered the phone. I was approaching the luggage claim when he answered the phone. It was early and he sounded just like I had waked him up.
- Yo! Where are you?
- I'm in bed!- What are you doing?- I'm watching DJ Fatso coming to town with a red shirt and a stupid hat.- What the
??!!, I thought to myself.I didn't know there was a coffee shop overlooking the luggage claim area. And for him to say that I was wearing a stupid hat. Well, that's what I do and a red shirt. That would not be hard to guess.
- WE WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU!!!! 
??!! I was going to buy coffin nails for them and I should have
brought my birthday gift for my friend. Well, I guess the whole SURPRISE plan back fired a wee bit. SHIT HAPPENS!! But at least DJ Fatso is back in town.We took off for a breakfast in town before checking me in at the hotel. I was walking in shorts and my short sleeved shirt so people were looking strangely at me. But I'm used by now. Of course, the breakfast was a major setback for my diet. But I can indulge once a month, no problem. I will start to kick arse ASAP when coming onboard.
We finished our breakfast and we went to a motorcycle shop before going to the hotel to check me in. I will stay at the very same hotel I stayed at May/June last summer.

at the hotel, I was recognised. Maybe due to the fact that I was sleeping
in the gutter
last time I lived at the hotel. Of course, arriving in pretty much the same clothes I wore last time even though it's winter now. I had expected to step right in to a taxi and to go straight to the hotel, no need to change clothes.When my friend picked me up at the hotel again at 2 o'clock he
told me that he had good news. He came up with a story about J having an afternoon nap and we ended up carrying his Aunt's armchairs. She has 2 armchairs and they needs to be transported to an upholsterer. Of course, the armchairs were too big for the elevator so we had to carry them from the attic.When we were finished I asked him if he had any more good news.
- No, let's go pick up J so we can have a late lunch.
Before
After
us that could restrain from over eating. Well, we were soon on our way to have milk shakes and that's nothing
helping me obtaining my V-shaped torso.I was getting tired, 3 days of party, a long flight and 6 hours time difference. But no time to go to sleep. I don't meet my friends that often and we went home to see my friend's wife. A cup of tea and we decided to go have dinner. They wanted to eat Thai food so we took off to a Thai restaurant and according to my friend this was one of the
first Thai restaurants in Göteborg.I had done nothing but eating today and they served huge helpings so when we left I had to roll out from the restaurant. But it was not time to return to the hotel, my friend was going to pick up his new dog at his mother in Hovås outside Göteborg.
It was almost 11 o'clock when I was back on my hotel and I was dead tired. I ordered a wakeup call for 7 o'clock. They will pick me up at 08:30 and it turned out to be an old class mate from Navigation school that will pick me up. So I'm off to new adventures and I think we're going to do it the usual way, so choose your pick:
November 2009
December 2009
Lo and behold, we have managed to blow the months of December way out of proportions, so in order to save us downloading time I decided to divide the month of December in to two pages.December 2009 (PART 2)
January 2010
After change to Norwegian flag January 2010
February 2010
February 2010 - (Part 2)
March 2010 and soon time to go home.
Well, finally 16th of March 2010 and it's time for me to go for my holiday
