This is Norway!

Well into my holiday back in Norway , I was invited to join my old band colleague Kenneth Ishak for an offshore live performance for his upcomming single. Enjoy;)

Hamster style

Something I have not mentioned before is how good they are at making commercials for television down here. It's a lot of humor and always leave's you smiling.
This one from MTV is my favorite, against our preoccupation with the World Cup, and it's in wonderful Mexican-Spanish. Reminds me of when I had a hamster.

And they returned

And then they returned , the vuvuzelas, the fireworks, the cheering every time Germany scored a goal against Argentina today. As I am watching the game in my house, and as my brasilian esposa by my side says, it has nothing to with the fact that they like Germany, and all to do with the fact that they want their neighbor country to suffer!
Both times played well, Germany was better, but I have to admit that to their cold and strategic way of playing this game I prefer the passionate and artistic manors of Latin football any day of the week. Pobre Maradona , hijo de Dios.
I'm gonna make my self a fresh pot of Brasilian coffee, return to the sofa and cheer for Spain in the next game!

Finally silence

This city has never been as silent as when I walked home after seeing Brasil loose the game for Holland today. People just went back to work with a complete empty expression in their face. No horns , not even from the cars, that usually make a lot of noise with their horns regardless of any football game.
I must say I felt with them for a moment there, but heck , it's only a game !
Until next time , let's sit back and cheer for Argentina !

Just Like Heaven

On this picture that I took in-country Brasil , I think I got as close to heaven as one can get.
