about a 7

yesterday, i went to a bar with alex to meet one of his older friends named Jon ( i think...). the name is pronounced abit like "yon" though. he's a 28 year old who looks abit english if you ask me, and works on a... uh.. watchamacallit.. a gas platform? XD ah well you get the idea. if you imagine some oil platform... and before there is oil there usually is natural gas. i found out some interesting facts, and its one helluva interesting yet dangerous job. not to mention, high paid XD

anyway, some facts i found out.. it costs half a million to use a hugeass crane for 6 hours. the crane's wheels ( cant think of a proper word) are almost 3m in diameter? or more? so go imagine how big that thing is. whoo. then i also found out that if a pocket of oil is not more than 8 meters deep, people are not gonna be bothered to extract it . also, its a job that requires logic, common sense and being able to remain calm in situations, or there goes your job :P Jon had lots of interesting stories to tell of work, but i dont think i'lll blab them all here XD

anyway, this is the bar that we went to. We went there at 5 ish, so its obviously not crowded. However, this bar is special, because it brews its own beer. asking me, thats nice but its still beer and i do not like beer XD. asking the two men i was with, they'd enjoy it much better. Alex compares it to cheap chocolate and yade (my favourite uberdelicious chocolate)... and he said it makes beer you buy from stores taste watered out. they had interesting beer that had flowers and herbs too , although jon calls it girly beer XD ( while alex was ordering, he came back and said "he wanteed me to drink girly beer!" hahahahah )
so.... after 4 cups of beer or so... and a whisky or two... men have to be men and prove their manhood by.... placing their hands over the candle cup thing and leaving it there till the flame extinguishes. as you can see, both got soot on their palms, and jon even had a mild burn. XD

one thing i did enjoy about that place was ze nachoooosssss. deilig. delicious. mei wei ke kou. we had two servings of that cuz it was that good. *drooling at the memory*

anyway, we left the place near midnight i think. and after.... alot of drinks. i go to a bar and order coke.. and 7 up....... XD wahahaha. got some other drink too, but that tasted like sprite with some light alcohol thingy. the other two on the other hand...................... lets just say things got much funnier XD they werent shit drunk at least, and still had sense and reasoning. at least, for alex XD. jon was just.... ... happy. XD so before hopping over to another bar, i got a nice shot of the sky at midnight, which was really nice and beautiful.. but within half an hour, the orange turned a very nice shade of rich pink, before fading off and leaving behind grey clouds. and thats how the sky remains, still as bright as the pic below i guess, just minus the orange. thats the darkest i've seen the sky go in summer down here XD

the other bar was near home, and jon went eating leaves all the way to the loo... XD . well, except for the tree nearest to our table, the other leaves were herbs so they were actually eatable. wahahhaha XD i got a vid of it i think. alex had some herb shoved in, and people at the loo probably thought jon was selling weed. XD ANYWAY, it was fun, i have yet to see fights in norway (and hopefully i do not) , and i was so glad to be back home in bed. the krazies will know i malfunction after 9pm. same applies in norway.

i conclude with a pic i took in the afternoon two days ago when i went to play pool with alex.
