4 days to go for launch!!!

So after being hassled and harassed by friends and collegues it has come my turn to write a post here, Nick's bad joke's gotta end here so people will still actually read the blog when we go on our journey!

So 4 days!!!! Start to feel it now in my stomach, I still feel there are so many things to do even as I've done equally many already, blaah planning a 6 month journey isn't exactly like your 1 week charter to Malaga for boose and bitches =) Im sure we'll be running around Arlanda 1h before take off and screaming "Money, tickets, passport!!" Well we are the two fuzziest dude's if no one had noticed =)

So I thought i'd post a little something on our Epic journey and where it'll take us in fact, I mean it could actually be fun to read a blog on travel about....yeah travel!

So starting of in Beijing (hang tang tang tang taa) =) where we will spend a thrilling 4 days wandering the 2 million streets! First few nights are spent at the New dragon hostel!

Home sweet home...ish.....
Then it's off by train to either Xian or Shanghai and get Shanghaid =) We thought off a few cities we know we want to see in China, Shanghai, Xian, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Guilin and eventually Nanning in the far east so we can get through to Vietnam!! Hopefully we're gonna go riverboating one day from Guilin and see some Epic scenery!

So folks then we cross the border to Vietnam and in to The bustling, the pulsading, never sleeping Hanoi! From there it is a short journey to Ha long bay, which can be one of the most beautiful places on earth, where we're gonna go swimming and surfing and drinking through coconuts =)
Trekking through Vietnam, next is Cambodia then Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and finally somewhere down the road Tokyo, Japan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soooooooooooooo folk's now you got some insight on our journey, don't forget to follow us, promise it will blow away "The bold and the beautiful", this will be real drama with real queens =)

Zai jian and see ya!!!

Only one week left. And one big rant

Well, we're soon there. The moment in which we have spent many months preparing, anticipating and stressing about has almost reached us. Now with this week left I must use the time wisely and prepare all the last minute details. I have moved out of my apartment, I have spent tons of quality time with friends and relatives and now it's just to enjoy these last few moments as best as I can.

Time is fleeting, and as much as I want to discover the big Asia (or little if I'm supposed to keep to our title). I still think there is a lot of things which I haven't tied up properly.

Tomorrow I will try a bit of Asia with my friends. By making some Sushi and drinking some wine. I know it's not really a bit of Asia. Maybe a parody, but hey when you haven't been there yet. You must try to the best of your abilities. Hopefully it will go well. I think with my friends around everything will just be fine...

Now on another note. From now on most of our posts will be individual and you won't have to face the bad jokes that plague James' posts in my posts. You will be able to enjoy my tasteful and satirical work. And you'll always enjoy the word "porn" that I will spew out. I'm sorry I like big words and they make me feel smart.

Tarnation!

Playing Captain Ahab

Alright folks, today was a horrifiying day...at least for Nick. We had to get our vaccine shots. OUCH, we strolled into the house of horror at sveavaccin. Where we met our captain Ahab... She was lanky and thought nothing else but of harpooning the white whale(us).
The White Whale


As you can see, it was a traumatizing l'experience. After our harpooning she gave us a soft drink against Diarreah! We thought it wouldn't be a nice experience to shit ourselves in the middle of china.
Thar she blows!
Yeah...not a pleasent thought indeed. But all said and done it wasn't all bad. I got a candy piece from this ordeal. YAY!
Ahab and the white whale
