As I sit here enjoying the relentless rains and giant balls of murder ice falling from the sky that make up the summers of Oslo, I cant help but look forward to my two week vacation in August.
Where am I going, you ask? Even further north. We're talking 24 hour sunshine north here. That's right kids, Peter's going to visit the cod fishing centre of the known universe, Lofoten. If you don't know what that is, it's an island group of the coast of Norway famed for it's many natural wonders and Hell of good fishing opportunities. Also, it's fucking cold there year round.
All I'm bringing is my tent, my boots, a fishing pole, some rain gear, three sets of socks and underwear and one and half litres of fine single malt whisky for medicinal purposes. I've turned into a total cityslicker these last 3 years, so spending some time in an arid frozen wasteland in the Atlantic should do me some good.
Are any of you dudes also trying to escape the drudgery of everyday life through travel or are you so low on cash you huff glue in the hobo infested park at night with a Chinese male prostitute known only as Lil' Sing Sing?

that would require me to stop buying comics and videogames for a few months
that's not a sacrifice I'm prepared to make
any major dude will tell you
There's a difference
Also, I'm traveling to faraway lands with the power of imagination. Imagination and cheap rum.
ya know, what kind of fish do you catch in norway? never thought about it.

Nah I should be fine, my granddad didn't have a criminal record so I know I won't fit in.

Satans..... hints..... I'm a mo bro!
and i spent 2 months in japan at the start of the year
i think i could probably pull off another month or so there with what i got left over, seeing as i havent worked a day since then
or you know
go somewhere else
but i got no plans or any real intention to be doin much of anythin
maybe end of the year ill reconsider
or i might try to hook up an internship thing that ill have to do anyway
and who knows maybe i can get one that pays good money with which to do shit later
but i dunno if i really wanna do that just yet
so unless i make plans for that ill wait until the end of the year and maybe go somewhere on a whim
depending on my mood and amount of dead presidents
oh i might go skiing next month? with brother and few other people
but im still thinking about it
Two weekends ago I went on an adventure around the state
Next weekend I'm going to Atlanta
PAX in August
Whooooooo

here is my tanzania trip in brief! it's still pretty long though.
- visit schools, get serenaded and mauled by schoolchildren
- plant trees with masai women, get laughed at by masai women for being useless
- go to local market and get scared of how pushy the vendors are
- get mistaken for japanese or chinese everywhere I go (continues throughout trip)
- hike Mt. Meru - vertical drop after the rain (read:muddy) into wading through a river to see an amazing waterfall
- six days on safari - see giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, antelopes, impala, elephants, baboons, other monkeys (I don't like monkeys), hippos, rhinos, cape buffalo, flamingos, other birds (again, whatever), lions and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting! also: get completely coated in dust and dirt while riding on top of the truck through part of the serengeti. my hair would not move.
- gain a reputation in my group for knowing random facts that include why flamingos are pink and who the singing voice of Jasmine is in aladdin
- hang out with bushmen
- camping, campsite overrun by monkeys
- lips get sunburned, I didn't know that could happen
- ten hour bus ride to dar es salaam
- the group accidentally collectively steals the backpack of a canadian girl that includes her laptop, non-international cell phone, and a copy of her passport
- stay in a catholic hostel run by priests who want to know if any of us are planning to be nuns
- meet us ambassador to tanzania who is very nice
- take a ferry to stonetown on the island of zanzibar which hadn't had electricity for a few weeks and continued not to have electricity for the duration of my stay. cold showers continue.
- marine safari! sailing a dhow on the indian ocean, dolphin spotting, first attempt at snorkeling leaves me alive despite massive amounts of salt water ingested
- run over child with bus (he was okay)
- at the beach for three days, get really weird tanlines
- last night there we have drinks bought for us by a guy with a heavy british accent although he is from zanzibar, have a star named for me by a cooler guy from zanzibar who was not affecting a british accent (british accent guy did study in england, but it was seriously ridiculous)
- get my camera stolen at the airport so no photographic evidence, sorry
shes never been there before
intends to stay there, try to get a visa and live there
well see how that works out
and it might mean i can go to new york and have someone to hang out with
you know on my big america trip where i meet up with all you splendid folk who i am just aching to meet
cough cough
pipe take me with you
I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU
My heart is breaking, but I still hate you
So jealous, bits

it was ostensibly a school trip but it felt way too awesome to be a school trip
I am envious.
Do you go to the best school ever?
