Quick update

Yesterday my great friend Jordan had his birthday party and it was overall a great night. Always nice to meet some new people, and also it was great to see the host in such good mode!

Anyway thinks got tough in the end but lets just leave it at that and look at the morning.

Waking up on a sofa to the sound of someone refilling the snacks at the party. To tired to care about it - sleep goes on. Only to later realize I was not still at the party but on my sofa in my flat, and the refilling sound was but Carl putting his breakfast serials in a bowl.

This will be a great day, happy times everybody around the world!

Photo update #2

Starting with some Street art from Bitola.





Rafael (to the right) performing at Kod, the guy to the left works at the place but apparently does some rap as well - great night!

 The working out place!



 Party at my place.

 Dressed up for the 1st of april Carneval, I'm a Leprichaun. Guess what the others are.
 My green partner in crime :)

 The best company one can have on a buss ride.

 3 swedish guys headed for the on-arrival training in Sarajevo + 1 random basketball player (guess who is the basketball player).
 Pictures from Sarajevo.



















 From the Tunnel of Hope.













 4 kinds of Rakija being documented from 4 angles.

There is a lot to be told about our one week in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Of course involving a lot of the pictures above, but at the moment I am all out of words, so study the pictures good and more information about it all is to come.

Big update, I hope!

Feels like it was forever since I wrote in this blogg. Forever in my mind perhaps, anyway I won't be doing the whole: this happened on that date shit anymore. Didn't really like the concept, gets to much gibberish, and I'm pretty good at that stuff anyway... :)

One amazing evening I'm gonna share with you was hosted in a park, a company of maybe 20-30 people. Apparently it was a birthday party, sadly my easily distracted mind didn't focus enough to remember the birthday-boy (wo-ho, I did remember the gender). Also I won't be sharing any photos this time. Takes to long time to upload and choice what to put where, would distract me to much from the writing part. But I really love this kind of gathering in parks. The relaxed friendly atmosphere where there is no dress code and anyone passing by is welcome. Communication is English, Macedonian (still not from me though) and whatever else gibberish the drunk mind could think of took place.

After some time people started to drop off and we decided that maybe it was better to take it inside, still not summer I guess, and went for some night club. There was a live band playing cover songs and even some people dancing/jumping around. After not so long time I ended up in the more relaxed part of the building, drinking beer and socializing with some random people.

But the best part was the going home.

On the way we made a quick stop to yet an othetr night club where I scored one glass of whiskey for free.

I climbed a building. We walked whatever way seemed interesting. The best way to get to know a place is to get lost (probably not while drunk though). Thought of more places to climb, found one more at least. Suddenly we remembered at tomorrow - hitch hiking to Prilep to climb a mountain. So I felt it was enough climbing for the night.

1 hour sleep. Breakfast for champions. Great luck with hitch hiking. Worse luck with climbing for my friend Rafael who sprained his ankle. Putting the stone in Estonia he still made it to the top, also putting the crazy in there I guess. Wonderful place, but if you read this blog you have already seen the pictures from there.

Been showed around in town to some places I could probably work at if things goes to slow: a kindergarden, a center for children with hearing problems and also the center of culture. Also ran into this amazingly looking fellow and had to take a picture:



Just finding out I had already uploaded a lot of the pictures to this blog I will add some more for you, enjoy the show:

An amazing hill with a great view over the city and also old military ground with planes and tanks!







Was also showed to the theater where some friends are making a play. Got the opportunity to join, but at the moment I am not interested (perhaps this will change).

The day after this I watched Rafael perform his Estonian rap in the great club known as Kod, and it was an amazing evening - even if I couldn't understand a word I did enjoy the energy.

Found a great place for working out, Tomba Kafe I think it is called. The story is something like the Turkish people used to come there and drink coffee back in the days when it was a Turkish place. Anyway it is, as so many things in Bitola, located on a hill with a great view and has all kinds of gear for training. Right now my interest for this is lower than the theater though.

I'm getting to the point where it seems inpossible to continue without adding pictures, so I will start uploading again and think of what comes next.. (meaning a new post is already on the way)
