Haugesund, a visit by Hogne and Brian Adams
You must be thinking: "WOOT?! Has he gone totally mad?!". But no, not yet. Brian Adams visited Haugesund, but I didn't see him. But the one's that did, made an excellent party.
The boat from Bergen is arriving with hogne on board. In the background you can see the pride of Haugesund; Risøy shipyard!
We thought it might be on its place to go sightseeing. Here is one of Norways first Viking churches. You can see the virgin Mary needle there. The saying is that when that stone touches the church wall the world will go under. In the mid 1800's a priest thought it was too close and chopped off 20 cm.
On the way to the Viking town we found many neat things like this. If you look close you can see Hogne.
There! The long house. This is where all the viking parties were held.
Me and one of the Viking Gods (I thougt he was a bit small for a god though...)
Nice way to make the roof.
The ship house.
A Viking Pig.
Back home it is time to open some beers.
I broke the first beer I opened after arriving at the party at Håvard and Guro. Had to filter it. (Hey! You can't just throw away a beer just because it has alot of glass in it!)
Drinking game with cards. Tommy hit's the Jackpot.
Håvard and Anders has to drink....
Elisabeth and Guro having fun.
Anders with Irish coffe number three.And of course the coolest tatoo in the world :-D
Tommy and Glenn having fun with a stuffed animal.
On the way to the city. Hogne is lost in a roundabout.
Hmmm... Drunk?
The day after. A bloody two hour que for the ferry....

Hey Marie! Thanks! But guess I should leave some of the credit to the Viking people...
Hey Kuntry! Yeah, it was a nice place. And there were no people there, so no tourist stress :-)
Haha, that pig was excellent :-D When we were walking back I suddenly heard high squiking sound and these two pig that looked like they were just playing and having fun jumped out in front of me, and then ran away. Therefore the photo is taken from far away...
That dog is the coolest dog(band) in the world! Todays agenda in music class: Bob Hund and Kompromissen, by bob hund(bob dog) Very old, but the only one I could find free :-P

EyH! Don't you talk bad about beer filtering! It's an ancient norwegian tradition to do that whenever you brake a beer neck.
Haha, just listened to the recording. It is very very old, '92 I think. The newer recording is much better I think, more fuss and noise and so on. I'll see if I can get it on the net. He is singing in a very strange swedish dialect about that he migh sound strange and that you can acomplish anything if you just make comprimises.
Haha, you should see a norwegian red neck... Sorry I'm not one of them :-p

take a picture then of norweigan rednek.
"ingenius" means very intelligent-(full of genius)-braniac! using the smarts!... so it was a compliment.
rednek in my definition is a resourceful odd fella...some takes it as an offense....i don't. other relates it as "trashy" folks-but that is another area...and not a compliment.
hmmmm...sorta bad to label peeps but offenses are offenssive if one takes it as an offense, no?

ps: subteraenean dome roof houses are my idea of ideal housing....i wonder why the square structures started....
people had their smarts on back then, it seems.

sorry; I apologise.. thought it was the same as competent and incompetent...
I'll be more careful in the future.
So; I correct my self to saying thanks for the compliment.
And yeah, I guess I take redneck as an offense. But only because I've never heard of it in any other way in amercian media. About the same as a "harry" in Norway.
Norwegian redneck
Hmm.. guess they just got tired of bending the planks, or they always tend to brake the windows while bending them...
