Trying to claime refund for missed fligth and a birthday
I helped my friend to move some beds recently...
...she is in the realestate business...
...I also visited a taiwanese restaurant...
...all you can eat...
...and was treated some taiwanese special meat...
...and also cake...
...later on I also got some local icecream...
....funny...after complanin on twitter to Brussels airline...I got contacted by a similar account with the same logo (but with a under stroke "_"... FlyingBrussels_
...they asked me to DM them and then they contacted me via whatsapp, and asked for my booking number...
...it was a +254 number...and since I am used to beign scammed by africans I am kind of used with their phone numbers... scam number: 254101877944 +254101877944 254 101 877 944
...this scammer was from kenya...(I encounted many other african countries trying to scam me)...I asked if I could email them instead...and then they blocked me...so funny...
...later on I went for a birthday lunch...
...at Öjiareds golf court..
...I went all in on their soup...
...my main course was fish...it was ok...
Rainy days are passing by...
Days back in peaceful gothenburg
I spent some days in gothenburg recently...
...with some random people...
...coldplay is playing at ullevi...a lot of people were outside listening...the tickets seemed expensive...
...it was possible so see some of the stage from outside...
...there were people everywhere...
...and once in a while they opened a door...for police etc to enter...
...it was after 23...so I guess they will finish soon...
...people carrying bracelets with coloured lamps...
...they were blinking every now and then...
...and later the doors opened...
...and everyone could see the stage...
....I felt sorry for this guard who had to chaise outsiders from entering...
...in a bit the whole arena wanted to leave at the same time...just like in all the ullevi concerts...
A day at Warszaw airport
My belgium nightmare continues..but atleast I got to leave the country...
...but still the brussle airline staff was there...arrinvg 5am in the morning...still not willing to help..."we might change the gate up to 30 minutes before deaprture" they told me. But the transfer time between the gates might be even longer...so funny logic...
...the only one really sympathic was the guy at the luggage claim...kudos to him...
...i was really urgent to get to the gate fast...and took name of all airport staff that helped me...since they have a record of fucking up...
...on warszaw I did the same...10 hours before departure...I checked the gate update...which changed often...however...they were all at the same terminal...making it easier...
...having some polish soup in poland...
...and dumplings...
...checked with the airport staff again about the gate...
....re-tasted dumplings...
...re-chcked the gate...
...yep...the current gate was nearby...
...checking gate again...still reachable...
...I double checked with another staff...
...checking the vodka...
...from poland but with a swedish name...
...checking the gate again...
...wuhoo...now they even updated the gate display to the right destination...i was checking who else was going there...to ensure that if the airport suddenly change the gate...
...sunset in poland....niccer than in Belgium...
...2023 continiues...
A nightmare at brussel airport
I made a trip back from london recently...
...transfer at brussel airport...
...at london airport i inspected the proce of blue label...
...I was told that this whiskey is similar to octomore...
...they also had the small bottle...it was still pretty epensive...
...later the flight took of to brussels...and at the airport there was no staff at the transfer gate...after 10 minutes waiting some guy asked us to go to another entrance at another side of the terminal...
...well at this other side of the terminal, the airport staff asked us to wait at a special area...they said they will help us go to the gate faster...we just had to wait...
...nightmare...after 20 minutes waiting they sent us to the place we where at the begining...and we just lost 30 minutes due to that the staff sent us wrong. I insisted that the airport staff should join us...but they said they had to help others...
...we rushed to the gate (me and some others who were told the same)...finding that the gate already closed...
...Brussel airlines claimed that this was not their fault...they asked us to talk to the airport staff....airport staff said that this was not their fault, they asked us to talk to the border police...
...at the border police...they said that during their 4.5 years working at the airport...they never heard of any story like this...that the brussels airlines and brussel airport blaimes the border police...
...we were stuck in a belgian loop...so sad...
...I took some paper with links on how to complain online...since the ground staff did not want to help...and later i went for a walk (to a near by geocache)...
...finding this monument from some terror attack...(maybe from another passenge who was badly treated from brussel airport and brussels airpines)...
...funny hide...
...my disapointment was huge...cus we missed our connection due to incompetent airport staff...
...we stayed over at the airport..and as brussel airlines said...bought a new ticket back to gothenburg...
...this flight was 07.50 in the morning...
...sun set in brussels..
...they have many drug addicts here...they have some dispensers for their injectors..or used needles...
...staying over at the airport...just like in china...there are some areas for people to take a nap...
...some guy doing some construction work at late night woke some people up...(except for some drunk guy who started to kick one of the guys sleeping...another belgium incident)...

I hate bryssel airport
A quick remindervto myself. That bryssel airport sux. They announced the gate very late. And ask me to stay at a seat while they arrange a pick up. But the pick up sent me wrong. So i missed my flight and the flight company blaimed the airport, the airport blained the police/border controll. No one wants to help. I had to buy a new ticket for 4500sek. I will see if i can get hold of someone who can help in taking responsibility
Randomg end of june events in 2023
I wathed my friend Majas dissertation recently...
...it was online...
...I also tried a beer from one of my favorite breweries...it is in taipei (le ble dor)...this one had tea flavour...

...it was interesting...also when he started to sing the subtitiles were on, after the story...
...then when sun was about yo set, he played more famous songs...
...but he never played Im on fire or streets of philadelphia...
...at some song the audience used lights...
