In Lillehammer

After some 30 hours on the road, in the air, in transit, and on train, I
finally arrived in Lillehammer, Norway - my birthplace.

Etter ca 30 timer på vei, i luft, på flyplasser, og på tog, så kom jeg
omsider hjem til Lillehammer.

Birtday home dinner

For my birthday recently (Nov. 14), I wished for no more than sharing it with some friends.

For fødseldagen min nylig (nov 14) så ønsket jeg meg ikke stor mer enn å dele den med ett knippe venner.

Thai food - Thai Chef

For my 35th birthday party (combined farewell party), I had my good Thai friend Ratakorn over both as guest, and behind the dishes, making the some of my favorite Thai dishes.

Til min 35 års fødselsdag (/farvell fest) hadde jeg min gode venn Ratakorn på besøk både som kokk og gjest, slik at jeg fikk servert noen av mine Thai favoritter.

For fresh spices such as lemon grass, kafir lemon leaves, thai basil, check out:

ChangShou Mian (noodels for longevity)

Once hitting the 35th year mark, it’s not so much about celebration anymore, as ensuring a long life. The Chinese tradition says eating long noodles means having a long life.

Og når man blir 35 år gammel, så er det ikke så viktig å feire, som å forsikre seg om at man vil leve ett langt liv. Å spise lange noodler på fødselsdagene skal visstnok hjelpe.

Forbidden pleasures

A number of temptations were served at Tomas’s place in Beijing, and it was well worth the 30 KM in taxi ride home (90rmb).

Bordet bugnet av usunne fristelser når Tomas inviterte til en hyggelig fest, så fikk det heller vært at fra øst (meg) til vest (han) i Beijing så ble det en taxi tur på 30 KM (ca 75 kr).

Beijing Opera - at point blank range

Had a great dinner with Norwegian School of Management (BI) alumni students, and BI’s shanghai management team. For dinner we were entertained with Beijing Opera, which at this time was OK since it was short and we were focused at listening.

Hadde en flott middag i Beijing med BI alumni studenter og ledelsen flydd opp fra Shanghai. I restauranten ble Beijing opera stykker fremført til maten på en armlengdes avstand. God underholdning i små doser..

HOKAY

Ice Hockey,.. spelled as HOKAY in Beijing. Awesome big ice skating rink in Beijing East, open all year, but often reserved by groups (call 8578 2590 for schedule, open for drop ins). Their link: http://www.beijinghockey.com/maps/index.htm
Near 民航医院 (name of bus stop)

HOKAY er en knall ishokey bane, helårs i Bejing. Stor – og høy standard!

Excersise

For some, maybe a romantic outing “Bambi on the ice”, but for me just for exercise. And best off all, walking distance from where I lived in Beijing.

En times skjøyte-trening på HOKAY, i gangavstand fra leiligheten i Beijing.

"Hjernen er alene"

“The brain is alone”,.. (song name of a song in Norway). Just a CT scan, not only showing I am perfectly healty (so never mind why I went in the first place), but also shows a cunning smile, and maybe some wrinkles as a proof I am getting older.

“Hjernen er alene” synger Delillos, - den smiler iallfall, om enn den kanskje har fått en rynke eller to.

AgryBirds - 3*@Haloween W1

Of the 650.000+ (or 2,3 mill+ for the original) that might be hooked on
iPhone app Angry birds (and registered on "Games Center"), I managed to get
within the top 3% best on the Halloween edition, world 1 - with 1,250,960
points/ 18366 place. A friend recently told me "the meaning of life", it
wasn't this though, but this took at least "only" 3 hours...

Av de 650.000+ (eller 2,3 mill+ for originalen) som kan være "avhengige" av
iPhone appen Angry birds (og registrert på iPhone "Games Center"), så klarte
jeg å bli blant de 3% beste på Halloween utgaven (verden 1) - med 1,250,960
poeng/ 18366 plass. En venn av meg kunne nylig avsløre meningen med livet,
det var ikke dette riktignok, men det tok iallfall "bare" 3 timer...
