How to end a perfect afternoon
OK, besides getting to the Taekwon-do training gathering twenty minutes late cause me and the driver got completely lost,(used one hour in stead of 20 minutes) the five hours went really well. Except for the ending of course.
All 120 people stand in a salute position in order to salute the flag. One of the black belts says the command to salute and everyone does it and says the word "taekwon". The instructor(4.Dan) turns around and says: "Nobody says anything while saluting the flag! One more time!"
We do it all over again, everyone bows and nobody says a thing. Except for me: "Taekw...!" HAHAHA, we all had to do it one more time. I struggled not to laugh loud even though it was very embarrassing. Luckily I was standing way back in the corner, so not many knew it was me.
Another strange thing; while we were having a session on self defence I was called up to demonstrate for the rest of the group. Strangling. This was very weird. The assistant instructor tells me to strangle him. Hmm.. I wasn't really sure how hard I was supposed to do it. I start rather loose, but the AI tells me to do it harder over and over again even though he in the end can not speak properly anymore. Help! I was strangling a man as hard as I possible could! But, luckily he got easily loose and threw me into the crowd of people standing to the left. Haha, I don't recommend strangling anyone to anyone.
Well, well. It's Sunday. Tomorrow is Monday. I'm veeery tired as usual.
Bye!

Break
As you might have noticed, I'm taking a break from blogging. One reason is that I don't have internet, and posting at work takes too much time.
Not sure when I get my own net, but then I might get started again.
I suspect that this will wear off, and I'll start again soon. Who knows.
Have fun.

Death and Life
China sells organs from executed prisoners.
This photo showing the last cigarette, made a strong impression.

Russia, Part three
OK, after resting for two weeks now, I can start enjoying my memories from the trip. And I guess I might taste vodka again some time. Here are my last photos that I will post here. The rest is for my eyes only. Sorry, but think some people will be happy.
Still have no time to comment the photos, but I urge you to look at the lovely wedding couple some photos down :-)
Have a nice day!
Red.com.: I've taken away the two last photos in this post.. Haha.. sorry.

Russia, Part one.
Hi.
These photos has been through a strict sensur. Just like the russians would do it.
I'll try to comment later, but have no time just now.
Enjoy!
PS: Because of the large amount of photos I've used a new photo uploading thing. Click the photos for a larger size.

Onshore, Stavanger
Back on land. Had a very nice trip back from the oil rig. We took off with 48 knots of wind, they close the Heli-port at 50 knots.. And even though there had been two emerigancies the day before, we got home safe.
Some photos:
This is where I sleep. The living module is now always built on the oposite side of the flare and not abowe any process equiptment, like on Piper Alpha...
Statfjord C, where I was the last time, in march.
The waves was about 10 meters+
One of the new life boats installed in 2002. Much quicker to get away in these than the old ones you had to lower down with wires.
If you look closely you can see a supply boat closing. Must be hell to stay on your feet in one of those in those waves.
The so called Chirstmas Tree. This is the top of the well, I spent almost my hole trip checking if the drawings of the pipes from the x-mas tree to the production header was correct.
Oh, so you only came for russian photos? Hmm.. I have them, but there are so damn many. I'll try to post them later.
