  • Yearly Cheese Rolling

    theswede 10:12 am on May 31, 2009 | 1 Permalink | Reply

    Since I started thinking about travelling through Europe I’ve come across alot of interesting places I’d like to visit. Some more fascinating than others. You can see which my favorite destinations are, posted in the column to your right.
    The latest addition to my list is the town of Gloucestershire in England.
    Why Gloucestershire you may ask?
    Because they have the Cheese Rolling there.
    The Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling is an anually contest where a two dozen young men run after a “Double Gloucestershire Cheese”(yes, a cheese) down a steep slippery hill.
    The first one to get to the cheese wins.
    Sounds like a bad idea? Well, you be the judge. =)

    I’m gonna be there, hopefully for the next running in exactly one year from now.

  • Skydive in Gryttjom, Sweden

    This morning I took the bus to a small village outside the town of Tierp, called Gryttjom.
    I had a scheduled skydive for 2pm. However, the weather was poor for jumping out of an airplane. Very cloudy. And so I had to wait for almost 4 hours before it cleared.
    But man was it worth waiting for :)
    I got really shaky when I finally was in the aircraft, knowing there was more or less no turning back. Not that I would have anyway.
    And the fact that I was gonna throw my body out of the same aircraft. Sick sport!!
    The guide was terrific, and he made the jump awsome.
    We dived for 50-55 seconds before he pulled the chute, and then he did some tricks before landing safely on the grass.
    This is something everybody should do before they die!! AWSOME!

    If you feel like doing this, log on to http://www.skydive.se, but first look at the video from my jump! :)

    Tomorrow at 2pm I am scheduled to skydive from an airplane with a parachute on the back. Or to be precise, a guy with a parachute on my back. :)
    However, this will only take place if its not raining, and if the sky is not all filled with clouds. It doesnt look good today, but I’m keeping my hopes up. If everything goes well I’ll post the video of the jump tomorrow night, and if all fails(such as the chute doesnt open etc.) my brother can have my macbook pro ;)

    *NOTE: My sister was on the tele two nights in a row, and I missed it both times. She’s to be seen at the game show “Vem vet mest?”…ofcourse only in swedish. Watch the first of two shows here!

    I just had a “damn, why the hell didnt I talk to her”-kind of moment. Sitting on the bus, placing myself just behind her. Pretty much alone in the bus, and yet I never could press myself to say hello to her. DAMNIT!!!! And now she’s gone… :(
