Working on my "Magnum look"!

Where hanging around in a club with my friends a while ago and was lucky to get an offer of a modeling job. Turned out to be a serious one so the whole project lasted two days on a cool location just next to the presidential palace in Lima. Nice pay and a fun experience including clichés as; the semi-hippy photographer and the experienced female model who was calling the shots on the set with a killer attitude.

It went well and I'll probably have a new "job" in may, so that might change my plans here slightly, will still be heading down to Argentina just not sure exactly what date. Will get the pics soon and so if I dare I'll update then...

The light in the end of the tunnel

Well, talking about efficiency in my last post I have to admit that my productivity has been down for a week or to when it comes to the progress of my thesis. Still though I just finished the survey needed and got 240 teenagers in different areas to answer my questions about the use of IT etc. Anyway, with that done and the books for my last two small courses I slowly realize that I could actually finish it all quite soon. That means that freedom in the purest form, also called summer vacation, is coming closer and it feels great! Buenos Aires will be the first stop and then I'll see what will happen...

Efficiency at it's best

Big up to my great parents that have not forsaken me in this country where premium dark chocolate is as rare as irony or as I'm about to experience; efficiency. Finally I'll be able to fully enjoy my read wine from Argentina together with the delicious chocolates in a neat package on my doorstep. This treasure is not alone on the doorstep since another pet on the back goes to Alex, who in a heroic manner, swiftly sent me not only books crucial form my studies, but also more chocolates!

The last mentioned package tough, is so far only manifested by an invoice, hence I'm of to the post office to find this is my lucky day, almost no queue at all, lovely! Luckily though I mastered patiente during my time here and the next two hours sure let's me make use of it. After the first queue comes the second, then numbers that just before my number changes series from A to P (eh?). Then it's time to walk to the counter just to see my package ripped open for security reasons (eh?) just to be brought out of site again, sit down please, new queue and finally I'm actually got it in my hands. And I sure won't let go of it...

Great Party

Saturday and the house is filling up quickly. Suddenly BBQ is on, music is on and the party is on. Jonatan is on as well, on the blanket under the stars accompanied by a cuba libre and my three newly found darlings from Finland and Colombia. And with them I get to match my skills in irony and sarcasms and it turns out to be like riding a bike, I'm soon up to full speed and I'm having the best time ever bitching with them as the hours goes by.

Waking up the next day is indeed easier when our house offers green grass under the shining sun, and our German wonder woman is preparing pancakes. Life is good.

Train to heaven, or hell...

Destination; Huancayo, Means of transportation; the worlds highest train route. Well at leas it was before the Chinese started the mad project of a train rout to Tibet. Anyway the second highest is still very high, a little to high for a Jonatan that has been sick in fewer for two days and only slept 2h because of an exam in Microeconomics the night before. Hence the overdramatic headline, since the trip that where supposed to be a great scenic ride, rather ended up draining my energy with height sickness and some more fewer following. Still it was great getting away over the weekend and after a good night sleep we explored the local silver market. Returned by a comfortable bus where we all had to play a round of bingo. Got me thinking of the excelent movie "Torsk på Tallin" that got me into a great mood.

Mad Max

No thunder dome, but at least slightly post apocalyptic looking dune buggy’s, and that turned out to be more than enough for a great weekend! Last I traveled through the dessert, it was on the back of a camel for a few days in India. This time I even had a few meters of air as the buggy jumped the dunes. With sand in my; shoes, hair, ears, mouth and so on... it was nice to go back to the oasis where we where lodging for the night. With; meat on the grill, tacky music in the speakers and happy people around the pool, it was set for a great party! Lots of fun and great people but I also got to appreciate the tranquility I'de been longing for quite some time.

Knowing I've been very lazy updating this blog, I'll try to compensate by serving of a few updates in a row...
