London, now what?

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

I'm in London right now.. Have no idea what I should do. Called a friend and asked, he pointed me in a general direction to some street where there are lots of record stores. Trying to find it now..

Flat tire sucks!

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

Went to Quebec, got a flat tire. Waited for an hour, got the tire changed.. It's freezing outside..

Air Canada sucks!

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

The two last times I've traveled with Air Canada there has been no video screen at the seats, but this time there is.. Yay!

Additionally:
This might be a "really". The stewardess on this flight is not representive for canadians; they are good looking. This is something you can't say about the women I've seen in Montreal..

Being two hours late sucks, really!

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

There was some part broken (missing?) on the airplane so we had to wait for two hours before boarding. I don't really mind, I still get paid..

However it does not take the pain out of waiting, I have had two beers just hit that sleep aphex after dinner so I'm quite tired right now and I have to stay awake for some time now. The question is if I should skip sleeping all together so I wont be that tired and jet-lagged tomorrow in Montreal?

Appart from the delay the stay in Heathrow was quite ok, but it has to be said that the bacon at TGI's should not be allowed to be called bacon; bacon is thin and crisp what I got was anything but that..

Hmm, just realised that I might only be one hour late, timezones sucks! ;)

No enemy showed up at the gate sucks, really!

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

Hey you who did not show up at the gate, you're my enemy!

We're right now waiting for some luggage to be taken off the plane.. How can one check in and then not show up at the gate? Just plain stupid! We're 30 minutes late now, happy happy happy joy joy joy!!

But I still have two hours to kill at Heathrow..

Canada sucks, really!

I'm on my way back to montreal.. Two more months to go, eight weeks or fifty-six days.. It's not that bad, but the per-diem has been lowered by 50 SEK.. Hopefully I'll manage.. ;)

SJ sucks!

Friday, December 19th, 2008

Here in Sweden there are two train companies, Tågkompaniet and SJ. I'm on a train operated by the latter.. In first class you get free internet, so now I'm entering this post from my iPhone.. Kinda ok appart from the problem with writing in english with a swedish dictionary. When I type "a" it becomes "å" (river in swedish), I erase and type "a" again and my phone tries to be helpfull and corrects it to "att" (to in swedish).. Well, I know I could change the keyboard to english, but where does that leave me when I'm texting?
