That night probably beat every partynight ever, so far. Out of control!! Nakenbad, dancing while sitting on a guys shoulders, laughing my head of, whatching the sunrise and drinking Vodka Jozz-shots...
I was still laughing when I woke up! -even though my camera broke yesterday. It leaked water!! It's a waterproof camera!! :@ Booooo! I really loved that camera!!
But even so, the evening was unbelieveable!!!

Nakenbad, dancing while sitting on Mitchs' shoulders, laughing my head of, dancing a mix of balett and salsa on the street, watching the sunrise, drinking Vodka Jozz-shots... no, I can't describe it in words!

Both Andriette and I were still laughing when we woke up this "morning" after only three hours of sleep! -even though my camera broke yesterday. It started to leak water!! (It's a waterproof camera!!) Booooo! I really loved that camera!!
But even so, the evening was FREAKING UNBELIEVEABLE!!!

Gili Gili Gili...
There's something about this place... Just the thought of going to the speedboat and leave gives me a feeling of panic. I don't want to leave! Not yet.
One week and two days has passed since we jumped off the speedboat along with our ridiculus luggage and dragged Everything to our first hotel/inn/hostel. There we stayed two nights (or was it three?) before we found a better place.
This island is paradise!
No motortraffic (just horses and bikes), no police, no street adresses. We've got no track of time, date, week day, internet or what's happening in the rest of the world. We've got a local place where we goes to lunch with homecooked indonesian food made by a not too charming elderly woman. You stand there and simply points to whatever you wanna eat, and then pay 10-20k (7-14kr). And for dinner we always goes to the night market and order either a delicious basket of indonesian food or choosing something more "expensive" (~35-40 kr ^^) from the sea, that's been cought just hours earlier and cooked on order.
WE'VE FINISHED OUR OPEN WATER CERTIFICATE!!!! WOHOOOOO!!!!
Even Andri did it! I'm so proud of here. I've decided to do it when I was only 10-11 years old, but Andri -who used to be afraid of open water, deep water and fish- had never even thought about it. But she signed up for it -and did it!!! :D
Next on the agenda is the Advanced-course with 30 m-dives, night dives and all sorts of fun ^^ But we need a couple of days rest first, cause both of us have catched a nasty cold.

My accent.
This is a standing subject when we meet new people. (There's only been ONE person that've guessed me being from Scandinavia (an Irish guy named Johnny -probably the only reson to why I remember him at all)).
The first time I met Mr Alpha, in the kitchen (day 1 in Perth), I said: "Hi. Who are you? Are you from a german, like everyone else?".
The first time I met Mr Alpha, in the kitchen (day 1 in Perth), I said: "Hi. Who are you? Are you from a german, like everyone else?".
"No, I'm from England" he answered.
"Okay" I said and walked to the fridge.
He came after me and asked me if I was from England aswell. WHAT? ME?
"No. Why'd you think that? I'm from Sweden" I said.
"You've got like this FAT brittish accent!".
That was the best compliment that day!
That was the best compliment that day!
I thought my brittish was going to be replaced quite quickly by an Aussie-mix, but the taxidriver that took us to the airport the day before yesterday asked us: "where are you from".
"Sweden".
And 10 min later: "Where did you say you were from?".
"Sweden".
"But you are not born in Sweden" he said and pointed at me.

"Sweden".
"But you are not born in Sweden" he said and pointed at me.
"Yes I am. Why?"
"You sound like your were born on my street. London, that is.".
I looked at Andri and laughed. "Everyone says that" she said.
I looked at Andri and laughed. "Everyone says that" she said.
Of course I like it and think its a huge compliment everytime someone says it! :D
BUT... its not always in my favor!
People sometimes thinks Im better than I acctually am, and looks at me like Im stupid when I say "what?/sorry?/what did you say?" for the third time in ten seconds.
And I almost got into trouble at the bank when I went to pick up my VISA-card. When the bank-lady was about to hand me my passport and my VISA, she hesitated...
”thats a swedish passport”
“yes”
“but you’re not Swedish”
“huh? Well, yes I am”
“but you’re from England?”
“no sorry, Sweden”
“but you do not have a Swedish accent. You have a brittish accent”
“oh yes, i get that a lot”
“its how we pronounce the vowels”
WE? Haha!
“That's a swedish passport” she said and seemed to study me.
“Yes, I know” I said.
“But you’re not Swedish” she said.
“Huh? Well, yes I am” I said.
“But you’re from England?”
“No sorry Sweden”
“But you live in England?”
“Nope”
“But you do not have a Swedish accent. You have a brittish accent”“Oooooh... Yes, I get that a lot”
“How is that?”
“Well, I spent three months in England five years ago”.
“What?”
“Yes. It sort of got stuck. I guess I'm like an accent-sponge”
She gave me a couple of more questions before she finally seemed convinced and handed me my passport and VISA-card. Peuh!Then she said: “Its how we pronounce the vowels”. WE? The woman was from England herself!
Bye Perth! Hi Bali!
The last days in Perth went by in a snap, and now we're here at an island we're a burger costs 17'000 and the humidity is like in a greenhouse. I'm sick as a dog (catched a cold two days ago, damn!), we both miss Perth a lot and feel a bit lost here. This is a medium day. Accepted.
But my plan is to feel down, be sick and rest today and wake up healthy and bubbly tomorrow morning. Ready to explore this pretty island.

Change of plans
Us leaving for Bali on thursday still stands, but we're not gonna go to Adelaide Hills anymore.
Where we'll end up is a mystery, but we're working on it :)
The Margaret River-weekend ended early... Our group got kicked out from the camping sight 'cause of reasons including: speeding drunk and stoned on the camping area, making to much noice etc. Idiots! (Andri and I stayed sober and went to bed early on frid, to get up and see the competition).
But we got to see the comp and we went clubbing in Perth in the evening instead.
Plans for today is to hang out with mr Alpha at his place. God, I'm gonna miss him, Pat and Charlie so frekking much it's not even funny!! Like Pat said "you've gotta get used to that.. saying good bye to people". YOU can get used to that. I don't want to!!!
The adventure continues..
A special evening
Yesterday started off at the bottom, mood-wise, but ended at the top.
Best Charlie cheered me up and brought me back to life with a movie, cuddles, chocolate and great company :D Enough so I could drag my sorry ass downtown to meet up with a friend...
It never too late to change. Everything is possible. Enjoy life, it's what you make of it! Let mistakes and bad experiences shape you into a better person. Believe in yourself and other people.
I believe in you!

That was the beginning of a very special evening. Even though I was dressed like a backpacker and forgot what prawns are, those hours are forever stuck in my long term memory :)

The sun shines even on the crappies of days!

Woke up from a nightmare about a guy that was murdering four female finalist at some competition. I wasnt one of the girls, but I was in the middle of everything. Horrible! You know that feeling when you wake up like that?! That feeling just wouldnt let go..
I got up and went to get some breakfast --- the milk had gone bad! #$@%$%&$^%&
I went to the gym, but after 1 hour Pilates (first time. it was ok), some PW and some running I simply gave up..
Swung by Mr Alpha where he was working. Some way he made me laugh and then it started going the right way.. Andri called just as we were about to say goodbye. She had her lunchbreak, so I went there. A chat, multilpe hugs, a coke and some money to buy ham, life started to feel good again :D

Madre mia!
What a night...
It started of with a barbeque. Andri had to work until 23:00, poor thing :( So it was just me, seven guys, delicious food in a nice house with a pool and pool table. I had a great time -even though I lost playing pool. Blö!
About 23:30 I took a cab to meet up with Andri... And theeeeen... Oh Boy!
Two crazy leprechauns running around town, like on speed, the whole night.

I was still laughing this morning and got the question "seriously, what are you on?" from Mr Alpha when I giggled whilst preparing breakfast ^^
(And by the way.. I won! 5-2,5! Wohoo)
Happy St Patrick's Day!!!
Fredag 16/3 14:15
Body Combat... The instructor was a total maniac -and scary- but I sure feel my shoulders today so it was a good class! And -apart from the 10 min of Yoga (don't like yoga)- I really liked Body Balance (Esp. Tai Chi!!!). It was a nice cool down after the Body Combat.
Today it's ZUMBA-time! :D
(I just wanna declare something: People here asks me daily why I go to the gym. It's not to loose weight! Nope. Nix. Nej. It's simple because it makes me feel good. It keeps up my stamina and prevents my knees, feet and my shoulder from hurting. -That's why :D)
After the gym yesterday, Gareth (the-alpha-wannabe ^^) took me out for pizza and chocolate lavacake in the park by the big screen. Yum yum yuuuum!!! The stuff they were showing on the screen was.. well, strange is an understatement... but I had great fun :) Thanks mate!
Unfortunately the sleepover was postponed (Andris fault! :P), but Alex (the workpal) came around the hostel instead so we got to hang out anyway. And maybe maybe we're gonna become roomies next week, which would mean a sleepover every night, so no worries! B-)

It's been decided: The blond swedes are leaving Perth! The plan now is to visit Margarets River 23-25th of March, spend one week on Bali and then head of to Adelaide to do some hard work at a farm for a couple of months :)
Andri's feeling a bit torn about that, cause she's been here for 3 months and almost made a life here, but just like Pat said the other day: "you've gotta get used to that - leaving people". It's true, of course, but it still made me sad when he said it :/ Some of them I just wanna put in my pocket and take with me.
Now I'm heading of to the bank to get my debitcard and give them my taxfile number. Have a lovely day! :D

The sleezy German found me!!! Heeeeeelp! At least the moustache is gone now!

Torsdag 15/3
Åtta dagar här :) dagarna flyter på i sakta alldeles för snabba mak.
(läs inte det här stycket, mamma! :P)
Hade den värsta fyllan i mitt liv i förrgår och den värsta baksmällan igår. Det började med en deal med Pat som innebar att jag skulle svepa ett stort glas goon (goon=lådvin, för er som inte vet). Lyckades jag skulle jag få $5. Misslyckades jag skulle han få en kyss. Självklart klarade jag det!! (Jag är inte 0,5-öl-på-en-kväll-maria för att jag inte KAN dricka). Men ett glas blev snabbt fler....
Ikväll ska jag och gullpruttan sova över hos en av hennes jobbarkompisar. Vi ska ta med oss blåbär så jag kan göra amerikanska pannkakor. Ska bli skönt att få sova i en riktig säng och laga mat i ett riktigt kök.
Nu är klockan långt över lunch (14:30) och magen kurrar. Lagade nudlar med kyckling, babymajs, morötter, brocolli, ärtor och sweetchili igår så det räckt för ett halvt kompani. Namnamnam! Skönt, för då slipper jag laga idag! :D
Efter maten ska jag sätta mig i solen och läsa (lite alone-time är nödvändigt när man bor på hostel). Sen blir det ett dubbelpass på gymmet: Body Combat och Body Balance. Nytt för mig, så får se vad jag tycker..
Gud, jag babblar om ingenting! Näringsbrist! ;)
En sväng förbi James St och heja på Mr Alfa-Wannabe innan maten. Hej så länge! <3 <3 <3

Lite vaga perioder i minnet, which is a first. Mest var det en reminder till varför jag inte dricker så mycket.
(här kan du läsa igen, mamma! ;D)
Men det var en rolig kväll, speciellt som att jag fick dansa!!!! :D Under lunchen samma dag träffade jag en Irländare som visade sig vara en dansare i ballroom, discofox och breakdance. Så vi drog några turer. WOHOO! Hur. Kul. Som. Helst!!

Jag tränar på gymmet i Perth - Fitness First. Svindyrt, men värt det då jag måste kanalisera min dansenergi och även Få energi. Även skönt att duscha i rena, fräscha duschar som inte tar slut på varmvatten ^^
(Jag har till och med försökt mig på att springa lite efter något pass. (Vad hände där? Jag hatar ju att springa!) och 1 km verkar både fot och knäna fixa i ett sträck (1,5 km var för mycket :/) Wihuu!! :))
Gud, jag babblar om ingenting! Näringsbrist! ;)
