Stranger in a Strange Land

I get some messages from the Americans over here that my blog is not in English, first of all, that’s a very good observation of them, second, this is not a blog, it’s a travel diary that I need to update more often. So what’s up since last post, well I managed to dislocate/separate my shoulder Saturday two weeks ago.  I guess that you might wonder how I did that; well, on Friday I was out skiing. My third time in the slopes ever, went down the steepest hills and made it without a scratch. Well, I fell once, but that was after a pitcher of beer and some whiskey, and I stood still when I fell. :/

So as you could read, I didn’t get hurt there, it all went down on Saturday. I was walking home from a long day at the library when suddenly a black bear just appears in the middle of the parking lot and attacks me. He wants to eat me, I can tell by the look in his eyes, “Swedish guy, I know that you are made of meat, but you look like a big blueberry, and I, like all other bears Loves blueberries.” Now the boiled pork is fried I thought (Swedish expression; shit is hitting the fan). So with my marshal art skills and some luck, I punched the bear in the nuts, bit him in the ear and poked him in his eyes so he couldn’t see me, and ran like Jin when he saw the smoke monster wondering if it’s common with bears in parking lots. Only in America I told myself.

I survived the skiing, I survived the Bear Attack, but I wouldn’t survive a night out at the pubs. Grandma’s Sports Bar, the place every drunken person in Duluth goes to on Saturdays; it would be at this place I would meet the door post. With my shoulder, flying straight in to it after slipping on some spilled beer.

Guard: Do you want us to call an ambulance?
Me: Fword no!
Guard: Well, it looks like you are in a lot of pain.
Me: Yes, but im not paying a Fword grand to get to the Fword ER. I’ll grab a cab.

I felt like this when I came there:

I felt good after i woke up being sedated:

So since then I haven’t done much, drinking some beer, watching some Hockey, and of course studied a lot ;) And it’s a rumor going around about a Beerfest, The Swedish team will of course be there, we might not win, but we will get drunk. And needless to say, beat the Mexicans..
