  • Blow job risk

    For those of you heading to the United States of America, I strongly suggest that you pray to the glorious gods in heaven that the heathens don’t infect you with their indecent thoughts. There are disturbing/indecent things occurring in that part of the world and you are at serious risk of receiving a blow job if you don’t watch your back … http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michelangelo-signorile/ken-cuccinelli-oral-sex_b_3639244.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular

    You have been warned. Be careful.

  • Nerd concern

    The USA government is attempting to bypass the fundamental security system of the internet.

    This is quite frightening as it gives them access to pretty much everything, including things which are encrypted whilst in transit

  • Biserica Neagră

    Biserica Neagră

    During a walking tour of Brasov, Romania, we stopped at Biserica Neagră (Black Church). It is a christian church, constructed around 1400.

  • Inside Dracula’s castle

    Inside Dracula’s castle

    I visited the inside of Bran’s castle. It is a fairly sparse environment, nothing special and certainly not somewhere you would desperately want to live in.

  • Room for rent in Oslo!

    Room for rent in Oslo!

    This room has now been rented out. Thanks for all those who took interest in it.

    I moved into my current apartment because I knew I would have awesome flatmates. Two awesome chicks, a cool Swedish dude and an unknown girl I haven’t met yet who has been living in Australia but will be returning soon. However at 30 m2, the room I moved into is quite simply insanely huge and I have no use for all of that space. So now that the Swedish dude (aka Karl) is moving out, I figured it would make the most sense if I rent out my room and move into his much smaller one instead.

    If you know of any males looking for a room to rent or are looking for one yourself, please get in touch 🙂 Rent is 6700 NOK per month plus electricity and internet and the bond / damage deposit is 13400 NOK. Rent starts approximately mid-August (this may be negotiable – I’m waiting to hear more details on this).

    The apartment is situated between St Hanshaugan and the Royal Palace, easy walking distance from bus, tram and subway routes. We have two bathrooms, a very large kitchen/dining area and we have tons of storage room.

    I currently have my bedroom segmented into a hallway area, a living area and a bed area, all separated by a curtain and a huge wardrobe which comes with the room. So even though it is only a single room, I use it as a complete private apartment with shared bathrooms and kitchen.

  • Skinniest street eva!

    The guidebook I read whilst in Brasov, Romania said that Strada sforii is the skinniest street in Europe, so I went to pay it a visit. I think “street” is a loose term as I have no idea what you would be driving down it and it has a roof. It also turns out it isn’t the skinniest street in Europe after all as there are two others which are skinnier.

  • Train stations Translyvanian style

    Train stations Translyvanian style

    I was warned not to attempt using the Romanian train system. I’m glad I ignored that advice, as despite their rustic exteriors and being kinda slow, the train system is actually really pleasant and gives you a great chance to admire the beautiful scenery across the countryside.
