Finally it’s weekend

 

So now I’ve joined facebook since everyone else I know seems to have a profile there. At present the name there is Micke Micke (Swedish for Mike).

Today a guy came over to buy a pair of speakers that I’ve had in my closet for a year or so. For the last two years I’ve had a one-man company selling Chinese Hi-Fi here in Sweden through the Internet and lately I’ve been selling everything I’ve kept in stock. It’s looking good at the moment and I think I’ll end up roughly around zero win/loss ratio. It hasn’t been a great earner but It’s given me a lot of self-esteem knowing that I can accomplish something if I try like hell. I’m closing shop before I leave and that’ll be a relief! Once again I can be an irresponsible student, carefree and oblivious to all the bureaucracy involved in leading a normal life.

Also, a nice young couple stopped by to have a look at my apartment. They just left and are considering whether to rent it from me when I’m away or not. I’m confident that they will take my offer since it’s a very nice apartment with a pretty low rent in a good neighborhood close to the city center. Check out this sattelite photo to See where it is. They were quite nice and DAMN, she was a looker. Anyone burdened by the prejudice that Swedish women are slim, blond, busty and really cute got it right for a change.

I heard that there was a shitload of rain in Yunnan this week and that 60 people died. That’s tragic and I’m a bit worried that the rains will provide a great environment for bacteria and viruses just in time for my arrival. I’m not deterred though, I’m just going to stock up more heavily on medications before I go. I almost expect to loose 5-10 kilos from eating bad food and adjusting to the new bacteria of the region. The thing was that when I was trying to get more info on the rains I had no luck with the Swedish news agencies. They are all streamlined and broadcast the same things over and over. This brings me down and I hope that Chinas economic expansion will force the European medias to take an interest in the region.

This weekend I’m just going to chill out with my friends. I want to spend as much time with them as possible before going to the land at the center of the world.
