Though NFL pre-season started a while back it feels like it started today. Black Panther-san, Monlight-san and Mash-san came for our yearly pre-season Raider Nation Japan part.

And this season we have so much good to look forward to. Russel has been kicked, and Cambell is replacing him. And we have been playing well in the first pre-season games.

We have watched a win game against Chicago Bears. For the first time since Super Bowl, that feels like a lifetime ago, the Raiders look sharp

We are no watching the game against 49:ers. Cambell got injured but Gradkowski steps in a makes a good game. Looks good.

As usual people takes a nap between important talks about the upcoming season, and who is good and who is bad and how lucky we are that Russel is gone.

My first post using the BlogPress tool on my iPad. It’s part of the preparation for going to Kauai in a few weeks. The plan is to manage without bringing any of our Macs but still be able to bring you the latest events in our lifes.

The above picture was to test how to include pictures. This did not really work well with WordPress’ own application. The picture is from Zushi beach a few weeks back.

Rented a car today and drove around Malmö. Actually I was reading the map and did no driving the whole day. We passed through Falsterbo, stopped in Skanör and drove to the most southern tip of Sweden in Smygehuk.

Then we continued to Ystad where everything was closed except Max hamburgers, where had lunch. Then we drove back to Malmö and passed through Rosengård where Zlatan grew up.

Once back at the hotel Robert and I went to the basement for some weight training and sauna. Then some dinner and relaxing before going to bed.

So I am in Sweden on a business trip and will stay over the weekend. What to do when you are “trapped” in Malmö over a weekend?

Well, you take the train (30 minutes or so) to Copenhagen. And end up in central Copenhagen just in front of Tivoli and 5 minutes walk from StrØget. So we did – me, mother and Robert.

We arrived in Copenhagen around 11 am and walked along StrØget to Nyhavn where, I think, my grandfather grew up. And continued the walk to Kastellet to have a look at the Lille Havefrun (little mermaid), but she was on vacation at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai But we got a live feed so we could have a look anyway, and there were always the souvenirs

From Kastellet we took a ferry over to Holmen and walked to Christiania. The free haven for hippies and druggies. It was a bit trashy, and though I thought they were not allowed to sell drugs there anymore they still sold hashish in the open.

Instead of buying hashish we quickly hurried out and found a restaurant where we could have some smØrrebØd

We walked around for a while more in beautiful Copenhagen before we took the train back to Malmö, where we had dinner at the hotel again. This night it was chocolate mouse… for desert
