Finally bought kebab in Steinbach...
Some month ago, I passed by this kebab place...atleast 3 times...but they always closed when I entered in the late night....
It is a kebab house, I also think they have some football nights...
Pretty standard...
I also bought beers from frankfurt...ofcourse bindings...the one to the left...but I met an american guy, who told me that he found many beer brands from frankfurt...
Atleast it says Frankfurt on the label...
I had th efrankfurt beers with my kebab...it was nice...
I later on went downt town,,,and met a guy "Stefan with the hair" was his name...and he treated me a beer...a pretty nice guy...
It was at one of all those 50´ies beer bars...
He had a dog that was pretty smart...

Some german wine...
Sweet and nice...
I also got a message on the bottle, that was sweet...

Hail...its cold times in Frankfurt (for beeing germany)...
And I also paid a visit to the slow reception at the hostel...I wonder what the difference is between their computer system and other hotels...since they are much slower here...average time per guest seems to be 10 minutes...

Some day ago I paid a visit to exzess...its a club which has an image of beeing a little left wing...
A former rebel and anarchist from spain was presentinghis book here...
They were also selling many other books...

Many people were there...
I recognized many people from similar clubs...and events...
More filming from Juan...
I also visited their library...it was interesting...
Many books...
And the spanish guys book...
So smoky...the bar has no ventilation...
Interesting advertisement..."anarchist, bank robber..."nice description...
Slowest service ever...
1 person a head of you, 2 counters...and 20-30 minutes queue...
Welcome to a hostel ni frankfurt...
Later, in the room of 8 beds, 2 africans were there, for the price of 1 person...so when I took the only bed left..it turned out to be accopied, and the counted had to be contacted...the "extra guy" went to share bed with his friend i guess...
Frankfurt book club...
I joined a book club today...
And passed by a car that was a memeber of "Team Absolut"...thats interesting...
Shit...that small glass of water was 2 euro...stupid expensive...
Except for the place...the book club was nice...
We read a classic book that not many people heard about..."the catcher in the rye":
This guy is from china...he was nice...
Maybe I will join the club next time too...if I have time...
A trip to the market downtown...
It is saturday...
I was heading to the market downtown...and found these fruit cups...it remind me of taiwan...and their fruit juice stands...
I also passed by the bike market...most probably these bikes are stolen...
Many people chose to visit this museum...its always a long queue...I wonder why...
My friend Juan once dressed this statue...this morning some new creation was covering the statue...its a cool looking guy...
Interesting days...
I have some interesting days right now...
Slow service...at my hostel...
The wine for 1.99 euro from chile seems to be popular...
I also experienced the biggest snorer ever, some person in the dorm I stay at...thats interesting...
What did Johan eat today?
Turbulent days are passing by...
I try to stay healthy...by eating and drinking according to some recommendations...to bad I havnt been running for a while...but im cycling some 20km per day...thats good enough...
The only constant is change...
A very wise professor once told me "in management: the only constant is change..."
Well, I want to sctrech it further...saying..."in life, the only constant is change..."
He also added the "...learning is a never ending feast in life"...which i totaly agree upon, im talking university courses all the time...almost...but even if i didnt, only a moron (or some other ppl i eventually met) wont learn...
I appreciate that some study concluded that red wine is good for both body and soul...it alos maked it easier to think long term...
I also made a trip today...passing by one of all the 46 ikea stores (wiki), but i havnt had any time to visit any yet...
An attempt to make Apple juice...
After ending saturday with some wine and cheese...
Which is super nice...
I went on early sunday morning to Rödelheim in frankfurt...
My friend Uli picked some apples and bout a press for making apple juice from ebay...
! onter guy had already arrived...
This is the press...it was cheap...50euro...but some parts were missing and it was a little broken...
This is how it looked like inside...
And outside...I think one needs a towel inside...
Omg, is that Möglish?...
So first batch...
It was tricky to make it work...
And no juice right away...
We pressed bery hard...
Uli had his sound system ready too...
No!...it broke...
I tried to use this one, but Uli didnt recommend it...
Instead I fixed the chains on my bike...
Just remove some link...
And later we tried the press again...
Yes...now it worked...but it was super slow...
And we also had some barBQ...
And we went for some beers...
And Glüwein...
Which i mixed with some juice...
It got a little chilly later on...but it was nice with a fire...
We also ahd Nürnberg sausage...
Uli said these were popular...since they were small...sop people could eat 2...
The beer I had was pretty nice...it was from Munich...
We later did another batch, which much more apples inside...
But the metallic bar we used to stableize the press, strached to the walls...
Hmm...its not easy to make apple juice...
Many people attending were from the Critical mass events...one of them brought a 3 wheeled bike...
Else I ate some Nürnberg sausage and drank weissbeer...it was nice...
Else we just stood in front of the fire...listening to music.
I should join events like this more often...
Another critical mass...in frankfurt...
Yesterday I joined another critical mass in frankfurt...
We started outside the opera house...where this seem to have some Thiller event later this year...
Many people showed up...
Some red cone...in lights...
This guy had some skelleton suit...
I had similar gloves...
It was interesting...many people were suited up to see some concert...
And outside ppl were hanging with their bikes, drinking beer and smoking...
After some hour waiting (I was late on purpose...but not late enought to match the time fo leave)...we started to roll...as usual...
And as usual we cruised around the streets...no real leader I heard...but many times, people with opinions take the lead...moving to some direction...
We stopped at some place I never seen before..and I had a binding...
They also had a pretty cool bottle opnener...
It was rather cold, since on firdays the critical mass wont start until 19-20...
Today, not too many spectacular bikes were there...I just enjoyed wathcing my bike...a guy said it might need reparations...for 30 euro, its hard to find a perfect bike...
The guys handling the music were discussing an amplifier...
This bike was intereting...the chains is adapted for the frin wheel...thats dynamic...
The driver lies donw and bikes...I saw this guy....he is pretty fast when cycling...not that much resitance in the air...
Around 60-70 people joined up this time...
Omg, M&M...with peanuts...I miss taiwan when I see things like this...(they sel it in costco, in bags of 1-2kg)...
My friend told me that this kiosk is made in the 50íes, they have many of these around frankfurt...
Later we headed back downtown...people were raiding their bikes as usual on the bridge creaming "critical mass"...
After some hour cycling, we were back at the opera house...
Some guys wanted to go to Bockenheim, we just stopped by a supermarked and bought some apfelwein...
My friend likes to put up these stickers...dont park here (ans a sign of people, bikes and wheelchairs)...
Later we got some super nice baguettes with cheese and tomatoes...
And played some music...a friend has some DJ equipment...it was interesting...
Highlights and descriptions of the critical mass event is also availble one youtube:
So many airplanes in the air...
I saw 10 airplanes in the air at the same time today...
I wonder where they all are going...
Some red wine for medical purpose...
Since red wine has such good health effects...
Im drinking it only for those purposes...
Wednesdays event...
In frankfurt it is possible to take the bike on the metro...atleast during some time on some routes...
I got to go togetter with Juan...
We went to Frida 116...its a left wing club...
And had some local beer...

On the way back I saw many rabbits jumping around in the city...that was interesting...
Was it ronan keating?

I think i saw him at schiphol airport some days ago...but im not sure...I signed up on the official ronan keating website to find out...
Earning Bitcoins
A bitcoin is worth 1000USD or something...
Thats alot compare to some years ago...there are sites where one can earn a small small peice of a bitcoin, but entering sites etc...I wonder how much these will be worth in the future...
Omg, the value went up like crazy last year...a recoil before it keeps going up, its just like some technical analysis on the stock market...
Good stuff...
I read an artivle about food thats good for you...
Wine, coffee, fish, vegetables...well we all know...I had some of it today...it was nice...and cheap...
Fixing my bike...
Im lucky that I cycled so much in my life...that I know how to fix bikes (The macgyver way)...
Since my chain broke i know how to replace it by myself...
The staff didnt speak english...but chinese and german...so I used chinese...it looke wierd...but its ok...
The chain is pretty long, i dndt have equipment to make it shorter...i just pulled the back wheel more back...
Well...its good enough...
The chinese owner also made me guy a 15mm key for the wheel...now i have 3 or 4 of these in total, the rest are in sweden...
Borrowing a bike for Juan for critical mass...
Since the chain on my bike broke last night...and nothing is open on sundays in germany...i asked my friend Juan if he has some spair chains...
He didnt...but he has some spare bikes...
Both bikes weremore or less just to pump up the tires...but we only had a bike wheel pump availalbe...so the other bikes tires remained flat...
As usual at the critical mass we saw a range of interesting bikes...
And many people were out side the opera where the critical mass always starts...
My friends always brings the big speakers...
And when we waited long time enough, some ppl starts to ring their bells and cycle around the fontain...
Omg, a fjällräven bag...
And off we went...
Another fjällräven...amazing...
And this guy saw us on the street and decided to join us...he was training for an ironman in israel in 2 weeks...an has also done the iron man in frankfurt...
Since there is no leader in Critical Mass, we got stuck 2 times...and some ppl got lostg, due to their wagons...but later they catched up and we took a rest at this place...
Luckily they could call someone who was not lost to get the directions...
We always stop nearby a kiosk like this...
And today also near a bakery like this...
I had a Käsetasche...it was like a danish Weiner bread...
Later we did the classical stop on the bridge...
Where people put their bikes in the air...
Me and Juan later went to an italian pizzeria near him...
Omg, so much dough...
I had a pizza with ham...
He also showed me a chinese store where they sell "everything", including bike chains...
I ended up walking home with my bike...tomorrow i plan to fix it...

Fuck, my chain broke...on my way back...

Days in Germany...
My life is very intersting right now...
I make sure to learn from my situation and appreciate the culture of my home country...
In amsterdam
More fires in sweden...
My father had some things to fix in the garden...
Later on I went to the airport...the place had to make a "static start" they said...I havent heard of that before...
I think I saw Ronan Keating on a restaurnt in Canberra 2 years ago, today, I saw a guy looking just like him again. This is the third time I see him, given that it was him (first time was in stockholm, when I worked at a concert, but then it was him for sure), I didnt take any pictures at any occations.
A lame lat enght at Schiphol
In amsterdam I saw a girl with a fjällräven bag...
And in frankfurt I found out that they had many destinations...
And many arrivals...
Omg...tomorrow from Taipei...thats nice...
My bag was almost broken, since I used it for so many years...luckily I bought a bag carriage in beijing 2009, which I found useful once again...

Then we played some music...chris also showed some sports that he is doing right now...
Most of the people wanted to go party later...
The dessert was like rhubarb pie...but it was with bananas and kiwi...
And ice cream...
And some quiz...
Later we went outside...and I saw a flying lantern...pretty cool...
And waited for the fireworks...
I also got some christmas gifts later in the night...so now I can honestly say I got christmasgifts, if someone asks me "what christmas gifts did I get this year"...
I chosed to return to Alingsås late in the ngiht...and the machines were broken...so it was a free ride...I like that...
In the morning I made a pizza...2014 continues...
